Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Trading With the Enemy Act: With the Report on the Act Submitted to the Senate by the Committee on Commerce (The following note consists in large part of a reprint of a letter to The New York Times published prior to the enactment of the Trading with the Enemy Act and which attracted considerable attention. The writer is an authority upon the principles of international law governing transactions now covered by the Act, and his brief references to the salient provisions of the Act as regards banks and banking transactions will, it is believed, be found helpful). The "Trading with the Enemy Act" which has just been enacted into law is one of the most important pieces of administrative legislation enacted to meet the problems raised by the war. It deals with a great variety of subjects, among them the delicate matters of administering patent rights, controlling foreign insurance, censorship of cables and mails, in addition to banking transactions. Since this brochure is designed primarily for bankers, and since the Act, considered from a standpoint of public policy, is most deeply concerned with banking transactions, I have limited myself here to a discussion of the banking portions of the Act. The Act gives bankers and other business men, as I wrote to The New York Times September 5, 1917, when it was under consideration before the Senate, "a perfectly definite law to follow." It had come to my attention prior to that time that some banks and bankers had "a rather surprising lack of knowledge of the legal effect of a declaration of war." Because of my belief that that lack of knowledge was leading to dangerous consequences, I went to Washington and urged Senator Fletcher, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, to do everything in his power to expedite the passage of the then pending Act, which was then in the hands of a subcommittee of his committee. Senator Fletcher called a meeting of the full committee on the following day and the bill was very shortly reported out, with many very admirable amendments. As I said in my letter to The Times, the banking transactions at which the Act is aimed are "of the utmost concern to the speedy success of the nation and its Allies in the present war."
