Power Vested in War Trade Board. The President's order vests in the trade board power to license trade "directly or indirectly with, to or from or for, or on account of. or on behalf of. or for the benefit of. any other person, with knowledge of reasonable cause to believe that such other person is an enemv or ally of enemy, or is conduct¬ ing or taking part in such trade direct¬ ly cr indirectly for, or on account of, or on behalf of. or for the benefit of. any enemy or ally of enemy." Only with consent of the board may agents of enemy companies do business in the United States pfter November 5. Ene¬ mv companies also may not change the names they used at the beginning of the war without special license. Secretary McAdoo is vested by the President with and is expected to turn over to the Federal Reserve Board "the executive administration of any inves¬ tigation. regulation, or prohibition of any transaction in foreign exchange, export or earmarking of gold or silver coin, or bullion or currency, transfers of credit in any form (other than credits relating solely to transactions to be ex¬ ecuted wholly within the United States) and transfers of ^evidences of indebted¬ ness or of the ownership of property between the United States and any for¬ eign country, or between the residents of one or more foreign countries, by any person within the United States."
