President Opposed
To Any Relaxation in
Passport Rulings

Washington. Jan. 30-Passport
regulations have been discussed with
government official by President
Wilson, it was learned, and in
outlining his views, it was said,
the president indicated that in his
opinion, there should be no imme-
liate relaxation of passport restric-
tions.
The discussion, it is understood,
resulted indirectly from the O'Cal-
iashan incident, when an interde-
partmental controversy developed as
to jurisdiction and policy i'll cases
such as that precipitated when the
lord mayor of Cork arrived without
i, a passport.
The president was said to have
pointed out that in the state OF world
t.arest every precaution should be
taken to prevent the United States
from being made the base of plot
ting against friendly nations.
