ALIEN ENEMIES
NOT So ACTIVE;
AYERS GREGORY
Attorney General Says Reports of
Activities Have Been Greatly
Exaggerated.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IS.
In reply to letter received from
Representative Currie, of Michigan,
calling the attention of the depart
ment of justice to the fact that
there is strong feeling throughout
the country because of the apparent
leniency with which the govern
ment is dealing with alien enemy
cases, Attorney General Gregory
says that reports of alien enemy
activities have been grossly exag-
gerated. The department, he de-
clares, is in close touch with the
situation and is not permitting any
violators of the law to escape pun
ishment.
Regarding the reports of incen-
diarism throughout the country, the
attorney general says that the re-
port of the National board of fire
shows that during the
past year not one fire was clearly
proven to have been the work of
an alien enemy. This, in itself, de-
clares the attorney general, should
go far to convince the American
people that conditions in the United
States are not so bad as reports
would seem to indicate.
