Kxre;A I'nder l.iccnse I* Forbid
den—On*or*lli|i on Mail*
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Oct. 29.—
Broad war powers conferred upon the
president by the trading with the ene
my act were put in«o operation under
an executive order issued last night
delegating the authority under the
law to various government depart
ments and to a newly created war
trade board.
This trade hoard is composed of
the members of the exports adminis
trative board, which it will replace,
with the addition of a representative
of the treasury department. It will
continue to license exports, and will
exercise a similar control over im
ports as soon as the president pro
claims under the authority of the
trading with the enemy act, the ar
ticles to be restricted.
Trading or commercial dealings of
any nature with any enemy company
or agent in this country or obroad is
forbidden, except under license of the
war trade board, which also is author
ized to license enemy or "ally of ene
my" companies, whose supervision is
entrusted to the treasury.
Censorship or mails, cables, radio
and telegraph messages passing out
of the United States is placed in the
hands of a censorship board, con
sisting of representatives of the war,
navy and postoflice departments, the
war trade board and of George Creel,
chairman of the committee on pub
lic information.
To the treasury is assigned the
regulation of transactions in foreign
! exchange and exportation of gold 9r
| silver coin under license, and en
forcement of the law's provision
I against transmission to the enemy of
information by any other means than
regular mails. The treasury also is
authorized to license insurance or re
insurance companies of the enemy or
ally of the enemy doing business with
the United States.
Regulation of the use of enemy
i owned or controlled patents for the
war and of the granting or publica
tion of patents containing informa
tion valuable to the enemy, is given
to the federal trade commission.
The postmaster general is entrusted
with supervision over and licensing
of foreign language newspapers. In
anticipation of this authority Post
master General Burleson has been re
ceiving applications for licenses and
began issuing them before Tues
day, October 16, the date the provi
sions of the law became effective. All
such papers except those granted li
censes are required under penalty to
file with their local postmasters be
fore publication true translations of
all matter relating to the United
States government or the governments
of any other nation at war. The same
section of the law makes it unlawful
to circulate in any manner matter
made unmailable by the espionage <
act. .
The secretary of state is empowered |
to license the transportation of ene*,
piles to or from the United States thru i
the existing passports means. The i
secretary of commerce will retain his
present authority to review the deci-1
sinus of customs collectors refusing !
clearances to vessels carrying cargoes
in violation of the trading with tlie i
enemy act.
