CONDUCT TO BE OBSERVED BY ALIEN ENEMIES

Regulations governing the conduct of alien enemies have been issued, of which the following is a brief summary:

All alien enemies are required to preserve the peace toward the United States, and to refrain from violating the laws of the United States, or aiding any enemies of the United States.

No alien enemy shall have in his possession any of the following articles: FIREARMS, WEAPONS, AMMUNITION, BOMBS, EXPLOSIVES, SHORT-WAVE RADIO RECEIVINGS SETS, TRANSMITTING SETS, SIGNAL DEVICES, CODES or CIPHERS, CAMERAS, or any documents in which there may be any information concerning any military or naval equipment.

Alien enemies are excluded from designated areas surrounding any fort, camp, arsenal, airport, power plant, navy yard, or any factory used for the manufacture of anything for the Army or Navy unless their presence in such areas is in pursuit of their regular employment. (When a parolee is in doubt about a certain area, he should consult his district parole officer.)

No alien enemy shall enter or be found in or upon any highway, waterway, airway, railway, public utility building, or place not open to the public generally; nor shall he undertake any air flight in any aircraft.

No alien enemy shall be affiliated with any organization, designated by the Attorney General as opposed to the public interest of the United States, nor shall any alien enemy attend any meetings or possess or distribute any literature of such an organization.

Alien enemies must report changes of residence or employment within their own community to their district parole officer within 24 hours after effecting such changes. Changes of residence or employment or travel outside their own community may be made only after receiving permission from their district parole officer. All changes of residence or employment must be reported to the Alien Registration Division of this Service and to the local office of the F.B.I.

No alien enemy shall be found within any area designated as a military area except under such restrictions as the military authorities may impose.

All alien enemies required to have Certificates of Identification shall carry such certificates with them at all times.
