In pre-war days travel, -whether for
business or pleasure, was little re
stricted. Certain formalities, it is
true, usually had to be complied with.
But neither in Europe nor in America
were restrictions rigidly applied.
France, for example, had statutes re
quiring passports from ail foreigners
coming to her shores, but rarely en
forced these provisions. The laws of
. the United States contained provisions
covering the issuance of passports to
Its citizens who were going abroad,
lut made no requirements with re
spect to Tisiting- foreigners, who were
Admitted freely on furnishing evi
dence of their bona-fide character as
Visitors.
This comfortable lamess continued
W the outbreak of the war, when
w.& European countries immediately
clamped stringent restrictions on both
ptry Into and departure from their
limits. This was the cause of not a
Mttle of the difficulty experienced by
Americana who had gone to Europe
Without passports and who were
caught there by the war. Throughout
ihe war passage to and from the sev
eral Kuropean countries was nar
rowly limited in effect, to those on
Official business.
