Seizure Of All Alien
Enemies in Nation
Unwise, Bidd|e Says
Official Declares Arrest
Of Potentially Dangerous
Will Continue
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Attorney
General Biddle said last night that
it would be profoundly unwise"
and profoundly un-American" to
intern all the 100000 alien enemies
In the United States although his
tough critics would doubtless be
satisfied" only II that were done.
In a speech at the SD annual din
ner of the Brooklyn Bar Association
on protection Of civil rights, Mr.
Biddle said many of the alien enc
mics have sons fighting in the
Army and Navy"
There are many million Aneri-
cans of German and Italian origin
In our population who would be
deeply shocked" If all alien enemies
were interned, he continued. And
the effect would be severe retalia-
ton on Americans living in Axis
countries We have arrested and
will continue to arrest the potenti-
ally dangerous and the disloyal."
Some vigilante spirit may arise,
Mr.. Biddle said, but the Justice De-
partment would defend the rights
and liberties of all those entitled to
the protection Of our borders-citt-
zens and aliens alike"
The menace, real or imaginary,
of fifth column activity by enemies
within our borders has been and is
being swiftly neutralized," he added.
'On the Pacific Coast, where tenn
pers and dangers are highest, the
Department of Justice has acted
promptly on every recommendation
Of the military authorities.
"Strict prohibitions have been
placed upon the movements of en-
emy aliens, with whole areas barred
to them and others established
where they may enter or remain
only under the most stringent limi-
tations. Similar prohibitions will
be ordered promptly upon receipt Of
recommendation by the War De-
partment or the Navy Department,
within the authority Of presidential
proclamations governing the activi-
ties of alien enemies"
