A pamphlet with German and English translations about the treatment of German U.S. citizens during World War I aimed toward German-American readers. Excerpt: "The American people look with the greatest friendliness and sympathy on the German subjects who face the trial of residence here while the United States is at war with Germany. ... Nevertheless, in case of necessity, the Government is prepared and equipped to deal with any emergency which may force it to intern enemy aliens. ... At the beginning of the war, the problem of internment offered many difficulties to England, France, Russia, Italy, and the Dominion of Canada. ... In Canada, it was possible to place large numbers of interned prisoners at work on various Dominion public improvements, such as, clearing of land, road building and irrigation. Many prisoners, after a period of detention, when popular hostility toward them had diminished, were released on parole under adequate supervision." Many excerpts from another pamphlet designated as Number 2 of Series 1 of the Columbia War Papers with the title, German Subjects Within Our Gates, are reprinted in this pamphlet.. Book.
