Citizens in Germany Urge New Passport System

BERLIN December. An appeal to the American state department urging reform of passport regulations in the interest of American travelers circulates at the American Chamber of Commerce in Berlin. The movement, signed by nearly all American residents in Berlin and traveling Americans, is backed by commercial bodies in Turans, Mexico and South America seeking generalized simplification interim to aid businessmen. Reports cite business leaders losing thousands due to frontier delays hindering engagements and contracts. The appeal condemns current rules as a great hardship for travelers crossing European borders, noting journeys from New York to Bucharest pass through Holland, Germany, Czecho Slovak, German Austria, Hungary, Togo-Slavia, and Roumania, with visas taking two hours to four days to obtain and high costs and time wasted. This untenable situation affects European-located Americans and those making frequent transatlantic trips.
