See Gradual
Passing Passport
in Most Countries

Washington, Jan. 1S-The passing
of the passport is gradually being
brought about in response to grow
ing disposition on the part of the ma
tons to get rid of burdensome war
time regulations of travel. Persons
prominent in diplomatic affairs here
unhesitatingly predict that as con-
sequence the time is not far distant
when tourists may girdle the globe
virtually as unhampered as in the
days before 1914.
The agitation for q removal of the
necessity for consular VlsaS upon
passports and letting down of the
bars in border regulations had its in
ception and strongest backing among
the business men of all nations. Re-
strictions upon travel have reacted
upon the commercial life of those ma
tiOnS accustomed to gather large
yearly harvests from the well filled
pockets of foreign visitors, it was
pointed out: and that reaction TO the
pinch of wartime necessity is likely
to carry the pendulum of travel re-
strictions back to it's old position.
Belgium was the first to ease the
restrictions upon travel imposed at
the beginning of the war. Convinced
that the necessity for rigid eXamina-
ton of visitors was at an end with
the coming Of peace. the Brussels
government so modified it's restric-
tions that persons passing through
Belgium enroute to other countries.
and persons intending to visit Bel
GUM for a period not greater than 10
DAYS might do so without credentials.
That move was followed by agitation
in Switzerland for similar letting
down of the bars, and the recent ac-
ton of Switzerland in granting per-
mission for visitors to enter the coun-
try without passport restrictions is
believed to be Indicative of the trend
of thought in virtually all the other
European countries.
The position of the United States is
somewhat different from that of its
sister nations, it is explained by Off
Gals of the State Department. Am

erica's restrictions on immigration
make it vitality important that the in
fiuX be carefully sorted at it's points
of origin, it is said, and for that rea-
son all persons intending to enter
this country must appear before an
American consul and have their
passports approved with a visa. BY
so doing the prospective immigrant is
spared a trip to this country and his
return home without being allowed to
land because the quota of nationals
of his particular country allowed to
enter America under the new immi-
grafton law had been filled before the
immigrants arrival here. The pro-
vision for culling immigrants abroad
was laid down by Congress in an eff
fort to facilitate operation of the i'm
migration laws, and there is little
prospect that the rigid rule requiring
passport visas will be rescinded, it is
said.
Other nations adopted the custom
of requiring visaS on passports short
~ after the American law went into
effect, butSheir action was rather in
the nature of a retaliation for what
was believed to be an undue hardship
imposed on their subjects by the Am
erican~ regulation, it is said, and senti
ment abroad is veering to the belief
that that retaliation has not paid and
It would be well to make travel as
convenient for visitors-American
and others-as possible. The action
OF Belgium and Switzerland was cited
in support of that belief, in as much
as those two countries decided to re-
move restrictions from American
travellers without demanding a recip-
rocal arrangement in this country.

well right side by side with the
spring, tapping the water supply
so badly that lately it has been en-
