Little Let-up in Wartime Travel Restrictions
Received Thursday, 8.60 p.m. WASHINGTON, May 10. Some relaxation for American businessmen travelling to Europe is reported by the New York Times’ Washington correspondent, but no immediate measures affecting foreign trade are expected. Businessmen can go freely to Britain and France which has hitherto limited travel in the national interest. This embargo still covers travel to Switzerland.
Acting Secretary of state (Mr. Charles Grew) said that no tourists wore permitted to travel, but an effort was being made to reunite families with permanent British homes. Families of businessmen were not permitted to travel and no wives of servicemen can expect to get permission to Join their husbands.
The question of travel in occupied areas is under consideration by military authorities. The limiting of foreign travel is due to the need of shipping for Pacific war moves and the shortage of food in Europe. It is announced that airlines are likely to be kept on a wartime basis for a long time due to service needs.
