54 Stat. 2290 Proclamation by the President of the United States issued on November 30, 1939, pursuant to article III of the reciprocal trade agreement between the United States of America and Canada signed November 17, 1938, respecting allocation of tariff quota on heavy cattle during the calendar year 1940.November 30, 1939[E. A. S. No. 170] By the President of the United States of America A PROCLAMATION Whereas it is provided in the Tariff Act of 1930 of the Congress of the United States of America, as amended by the Act of June 12, 1934, *Ante*, p. 107.[19 U. S. C. §§ 1351–1354;
Supp. V, §§ 1351–1352](/us/usc/t19/s1351/1354/1352).entitled “An act To amend the Tariff Act of 1930” (48 Stat. 943), which amending Act was extended by Joint Resolution of Congress, approved March 1, 1937 (50 Stat. 24), as follows: " “Sec. 350.
(a)For the purpose of expanding foreign markets for the products of the United States (as a means of assisting in the present emergency in restoring the American standard of living, in overcoming domestic unemployment and the present economic depression, in increasing the purchasing power of the American public, and in establishing and maintaining a better relationship among various branches of American agriculture, industry, mining, and commerce) by regulating the admission of foreign goods into the United States in accordance with the characteristics and needs of various branches of American production so that foreign markets will be made available to those branches of American production which require and are capable of developing such outlets by affording corresponding market opportunities for foreign products in the United States, the President, whenever he finds as a fact that any existing duties or other import restrictions of the United States or any foreign country are unduly burdening and restricting the foreign trade of the United States and that the purpose above declared will be promoted by the means hereinafter specified, is authorized from time to time— “(1) To enter into foreign trade agreements with foreign governments or instrumentalities thereof; and “(2) To proclaim such modifications of existing duties and other import restrictions, or such additional import restrictions, or such continuance, and for such minimum periods, of existing customs or excise treatment of any article covered by foreign trade agreements, as are required or appropriate to carry out any foreign trade agreement that the President has entered into hereunder. No proclamation shall be made increasing or de-creasing by more than 50 per centum any existing rate of duty or transferring any article between the dutiable and free lists.54 Stat. 2291 The proclaimed duties and other import restrictions shall apply to articles the growth, produce, or manufacture of all foreign countries, whether imported directly, or indirectly: *Provided*, That the President may suspend the application to articles the growth, produce, or manufacture of any country because of its discriminatory treatment of American commerce or because of other acts or policies which in his opinion tend to defeat the purposes set forth in this section; and the proclaimed duties and other import restrictions shall be in effect from and after such time as is specified in the proclamation. The President may at any time terminate any such proclamation in whole or in part.” " Whereas, pursuant to the said Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, I[53 Stat. 2348](/us/stat/53/2428). entered into a Trade Agreement on November 17, 1938, with His Majesty the King of Great Britain, Ireland and the British dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India, in respect of Canada; Whereas, by my proclamation of November 25, 1938, I did make[53 Stat. 2393](/us/stat/53/2393). public the said Trade Agreement, including two Schedules annexed thereto, and in my proclamation provided that the provisions of Article VII of the said Agreement should be observed and fulfilled with good faith by the United States of America and the citizens thereof on and after January 1, 1939; Whereas, Article VII of the said Agreement provides as follows: " “1. Articles the growth, produce or manufacture of Canada[53 Stat. 2378](/us/stat/53/2378). enumerated and described in Schedule II annexed to this Agreement shall, on their importation into the United States of America, be exempt from ordinary customs duties in excess of those set forth and provided for in the said Schedule, subject to the conditions therein set out. The said articles shall also be exempt from all other duties, taxes, fees, charges, or exactions, imposed on or in connection with importation, in excess of those imposed on the day of the signature of this Agreement or required to be imposed thereafter under laws of the United States of America in force on the day of the signature of this Agreement. “2. Schedule II shall have full force and effect as an integral part of this Agreement.” " Whereas, Schedule II annexed to the said Agreement provides in part as follows: " “United States Tariff Act of 1930 Paragraph Description of Article Rate of Duty 701 Cattle, weighing seven hundred pounds or more each: Cows, imported specially for dairy purposes 1½¢ per lb. Other 1½¢ per lb. Provided, That after December 31, 1938, such cattle weighing seven hundred pounds or more each (other than cows imported specially for dairy purposes) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in excess of 60,000 head in any quarter year shall not be entitled to a reduction in duty by virtue of this item, and such cattle (other than cows imported specially for dairy purposes) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in excess of 225,000 head in any calendar year shall not be entitled to a reduction in duty by virtue of this item, but the rate of duty thereon shall not exceed 3¢ per lb. 54 Stat. 2292 Provided further, That if, after consultation with the Government of the United States of America, the Government of Canada requests the allocation of the quantity entitled to enter at the reduced rate of duty under this item, the Government of the United States of America shall take the necessary steps to allocate the said quantity among countries of export on the basis provided for in Article III of this Agreement.” " Whereas, Article III of the said Agreement reads as follows: " “If imports of any article into either country should be regulated either as regards the total amount permitted to be imported or as regards the amount permitted to be imported at a specified rate of duty, and if shares are allocated to countries of export, the share allocated to the other country shall be based upon the proportion of the total imports of such article from all foreign countries supplied by that country in past years, account being taken in so far as practicable in appropriate cases of any special factors which may have affected or may be affecting the trade in that article. In those cases in which the other country is a relatively large supplier of any such article, the Government of the country imposing the regulation shall, whenever practicable, consult with the Government of the other country before the share to be allocated to that country is determined.” " [53 Stat. 2397](/us/stat/53/2397).Whereas, by my proclamation of February 27, 1939, I did proclaim the allocation among countries of export, on the basis therein set forth, of the quantity of cattle weighing seven hundred pounds or more each (other than cows imported specially for dairy purposes) entitled to a reduction in duty by virtue of the said item 701 of Schedule II annexed to the said Agreement during the period April 1 to December 31, 1939 inclusive; Whereas, after consultation with the Government of the United States of America, the Government of Canada has requested the Government of the United States of America to continue such allocation during the calendar year 1940; Whereas such allocation is required and appropriate to carry out the said Agreement; Whereas I find that, taking into account special factors affecting the trade, imports into the United States of America from all countries of such cattle weighing seven hundred pounds or more each (other than cows imported specially for dairy purposes) during the years 1936 and 1937 were representative of the trade in such articles; Whereas I find that the proportions of total imports into the United States of America for consumption of such cattle weighing seven hundred pounds or more each (other than cows imported specially for dairy purposes) supplied by Canada and by other foreign countries, respectively, during the years 1936 and 1937 were as follows: Canada 86.2 per centum Other foreign countries 13.8 per centum 54 Stat. 2293 Now, therefore, be it known that I, Franklin D. Roosevelt,Proclamation of allocation of tariff quota on heavy cattle, 1940.*Post*, p. 2445. President of the United States of America, acting under the authority- conferred by the said Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the said Act of June 12, 1934, as extended by the said Joint Resolution of March 1, 1937, do hereby proclaim that no more than 193,950 head of cattle weighing seven hundred pounds or more each (other than cows imported specially for dairy purposes), the produce of Canada, nor more than 31,050 head of such cattle, the produce of other foreign countries, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the calendar year 1940, shall be entitled to a reduction in duty by virtue of the said item 701 of Schedule II of the said Agreement; and that no more than 51,720 head of cattle weighing seven hundred pounds or more each (other than cows imported specially for dairy purposes), the produce of Canada, nor more than 8,280 head of such cattle, the produce of other foreign countries, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in any calendar quarter year during 1940, shall be entitled to a reduction in duty by virtue of the said item 701 of Schedule II of the said Agreement. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this thirtieth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and [seal] thirty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and sixty-fourth.

A. S. No. 172] *The American Chargé d’Affaires ad interim to the Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs* No. 686 Legation of the United States of America Ottawa, Canada. *April 29, 1938*. Sir: Canada.Reciprocal recognition of load line regulations for certain vessels. I have the honor to inform you that the appropriate authorities of my Government have received copies of the *Canada Gazette* of August 28, 1937, containing an Order-in-Council, P. C. 1903, under date of August 6, 1937, making effective as of October 1, 1937, load line rules for ships making voyages on lakes or rivers. The Coastwise Load Line Act, 1935, as amended, of the United [46 U. S. C., Supp. V, § 88d](/us/usc/t46/s88d).States, provides in the U. S. C., title 46, sec. 88 d: " “§ 88d. Foreign vessels; application of sub-chapter. Whenever the Secretary of Commerce shall certify that the laws and regulations in force in any foreign country relating to load lines are equally effective with the regulations established under sections 88 to 88i of this title, the Secretary of Commerce may direct, on proof that a vessel of that country has complied with such foreign laws and regulations, that such vessel and her master and owner shall be exempted from compliance with the provisions of sections 88 to 88i of this title, except as hereinafter provided: *Provided*, That this section shall not apply to the vessels of any foreign country which does not similarly recognize the load lines established under sections 88 to 88i of this title and the regulations made thereunder. (Aug. 27, 1935, c. 747, § 5, 49 Stat. 889.).” " The American authorities have concluded that, except for subdivision load lines applicable to passenger vessels, the aforementioned Canadian load line regulations are as effective as the regulations set forth in Section C of the Load Line Regulations of the United States (Rules and Regulations Series, No. 4, January 1938 edition),[11[U. S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Marine Inspection and Navigation (Government Printing Office, 1938]] of which three copies are enclosed. The Government of the United States will recognize the Canadian load line regulations as promulgated in the *Canada Gazette* of August 28, 1937. to be as effective as Section C of the United States Load Line Regulations (January 1938 edition), provided that the54 Stat. 2301 Canadian Government will similarly recognize United States load line regulations. As no provision is made in the Canadian load line regulations for sub-division marks for passenger vessels, and as the United States Load Line Regulations under Section D require passenger vessels to be provided with such marks, I am desired by my Government to inquire whether, in order to prevent Canadian passenger vessels from becoming liable to a penalty when entering United States ports, the Canadian Great Lakes Load Line Regulations could be extended to give effect to sub-division and other matters pertaining thereto. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. John Farr Simmons *Charge d’Affaires a. i.* *Enclosure.* The Right Honorable The Secretary of State for External Affairs, *Ottawa.* *The Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs to the American Chargé d’Affaires ad interim* department of external affairs canada No. 125 Ottawa, *24th August, 1938*. Sir, With reference to your note No. 686 of the 29th April, 1938, in the matter of load line regulations which apply to the Great Lakes, I have the honour to state that this matter was considered by the Canadian authorities concerned. It is observed that the United States authorities have concluded that, except for sub-division load lines applicable to passenger vessels, the Canadian load line regulations applicable to ships making voyages on the Great Lakes are as effective as the regulations set forth in Section
(C)of the Load Line Regulations of the United States (Rules and Regulations Series No. 4, January, 1938, edition), and that the Government of the United States will recognize the Canadian load line regulations promulgated in the *Canada Gazette* of the 28th August, 1937, that is to say the “Load Line Rules for Ships making Voyages on Lakes or Rivers”, approved by Order-in-Council of the 6th August, 1937, provided that the Canadian Government will similarly recognize the United States Load Line Regulations referred to above. The Canadian authorities consider that the Load Line Regulations of the United States applicable to ships engaged in making voyages on the Great Lakes (Rules and Regulations Series No. 4, January, 1938, edition) are as effective as the Canadian regulations, “Load Line Rules for Ships Making Voyages on Lakes or Rivers”, approved by Order-in-Council of the 6th August, 1937. 54 Stat. 2302 The Canadian Government recognize that the United States Load Line Regulations mentioned above are equivalent to the Load Line Rules for ships Making Voyages on Lakes or Rivers approved by Order-in-Council of the 6th August, 1937. With reference to the last paragraph of your note, the Canadian authorities advise that the Canada Shipping Act, 1934, inasfar as it concerns load lines, does not deal with the sub-division of passenger ships, this question being dealt with under the part of the Act which refers to the construction and inspection of ships. General regulations dealing with the construction and inspection of the hulls of steamships are now under consideration, and the matter of sub-division will be dealt with in them. The Canadian authorities will not be in a position to have these regulations in force before the end of the season of navigation this year for passenger ships employed on the Great Lakes, plying to United States ports. It is understood, however, that there are few such ships, and that their season of navigation ends not later than the 30th of September. As most of the passenger ships making voyages on the Great Lakes from Canadian to United States ports are old ships, there is doubt in the minds of the Canadian technical officers as to whether it would be reasonable and practicable to have them comply fully with the sub-division regulations laid down by the United States authorities, which are based, generally, on the International [50 Stat. 1121](/us/stat/50/1121).Convention for Safety of Life at Sea. The Canadian authorities would appreciate if information could be obtained as to what action the United States authorities propose to take in the matter of such ships of United States registry. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. O. D. Skelton for *Secretary of State for External Affairs.* John Farr Simmons, Esquire, *Chargé d’Affaires,* *Legation of the United States of America, Ottawa.* *The American Chargé d’Affaires ad interim to the Canadian Acting Secretary of State for External Affairs* No. 819 Legation of the United States of America Ottawa, Canada. *October 22, 1938.* Sir: With reference to Dr. Skelton’s note No. 125, dated August 24, 1938, in the matter of load-line regulations applicable to the Great54 Stat. 2303 Lakes, I have the honor to inform you that the American authorities have noted that the Canadian Government recognizes that the load-line regulations of the United States applicable to vessels making voyages on the Great Lakes of North America are equivalent to Canadian “Load-line Rules for Ships Making Voyages on Lakes or Rivers”, approved by Order-in-Council on the 6th of August, 1937, except as to subdivision load-lines applicable to passenger vessels. The American authorities have noted also that the Canadian Government will not be in a position to have in force subdivision load-line regulations applicable to vessels of the Great Lakes before the close of navigation this year. In this regard, when the sub-division load-line regulations are issued by the Canadian authorities, the competent American authorities must give consideration to them before accepting them as being equal to the United States subdivision load-line regulations. The American Government will appreciate, therefore, receiving copies of these subdivision load-line regulations as soon as possible after they are issued. With regard to the request contained in Dr. Skelton’s note under reference for information as to the procedure for marking existing passenger vessels with subdivision load-lines and to what extent such ships are required to comply with the subdivision load-line regulations, the competent American authorities have stated that each existing passenger ship is considered on its merits in relation to its physical compliance with the subdivision load-line requirements. In interpreting the meaning of the words reasonable and practicable, the decisions of the Department of Commerce have resulted in most cases in a one-compartment standard of subdivision. The American authorities have directed attention to the following slight difference in the scope of the basic load-line laws of the United States and of Canada: The laws of the United States are more general and probably embrace more vessels; for instange, tug boats do not seem to be required to have load-lines under the Canadian law, but are required to have them under the United States law. In the case of such Canadian vessels which are exempt from Canadian load-line regulations and which visit United States ports, it will satisfy the American load-line authorities if such vessels are marked with load-lines under the Canadian load-line regulations, even though Canadian load-line law would not require them to be marked. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. David McK.

Sir, With reference to the despatch No. 819 of the 22nd October, 1938, from the United States Chargé d’Affaires at Ottawa, and previous correspondence, in the matter of Load Line Regulations applicable to the Great Lakes, I have the honour to state that, by Order-in-Council of the 7th July, 1939, P. C. 1790, certain regulations relating to sub-division have been made, bearing the title, “Regulations respecting the Sub-Division and Pumping Arrangements of Passenger Steamships employed making Inland Voyages between Canada and the United States of America”. These regulations were published in the “Canada Gazette” of the 12th August, 1939, and I enclose herewith a copy of the “Gazette”,[11[Not printed.]] so that the competent authorities of the United States Government may be in a position to give consideration to the acceptance of these regulations as being equal to the United States Sub-Division Load Line Regulations. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. O. D. Skelton for *Secretary of State for External Affairs*.

Sir: With reference to my note No. 185 of the 2nd September, 1939, advising that certain regulations relating to the sub-division of ships making inland voyages between Canada and the United States of America had been made, and enclosing a copy of the *Canada Gazette* of the 12th August containing these Regulations, I have the honour to state that these Regulations contained two errors and that action was taken to have these errors corrected by Order-in-Council. 54 Stat. 2305 An Order-in-Council P. C. 2669, dated September 14th, was issued, amending the errors in question, and was published in the *Cornada Gazette* of September 30th, 1939. I enclose herewith three copies of an extract from the *Canada Gazette* of that date,[22[Not printed.]] containing the Order-in-Council, and wish to request that a copy of the extract be forwarded to the Government of the United States. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. O. D. Skelton for *Secretary of State for External Affairs.* John Farr Simmons, Esquire, *Charge d’Affaires a. i.* *Legation of the United States of America, Ottawa.* *The American Chargé d’Affaires ad interim to the Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs* No. 208 Legation of the United States of America Ottawa, Canada. *January 10, 1940.* Sir: I have the honor to refer to your note No. 217 dated October 18, 1939, and to previous correspondence concerning a proposed arrangement between Canada and the United States for the reciprocal recognition of load line regulations for vessels engaged in international voyages on the Great Lakes. I am desired by my Government to advise you that the Canadian regulations set forth by Orders-in-Council of July 7, 1939, P. C. 1790 and 1791, as published in the *Canada Gazette* of August 12, 1939, have been examined carefully and compared by the competent American authorities with the similar regulations of the Secretary of Commerce, as set forth in Section D of the Load Line Regulations of the United States, approved September 28, 1937 (Part 46, Section 46.42 of the Codification of the Load Line Regulations), and have been found, subject to the following comments, to be the equivalent of the said United States regulations:
(a)United States regulations are applicable to all passenger vessels of 150 gross tons and above, whereas Canadian regulations are applicable only to steamships (motorships) of 150 gross tons and above.
(b)A United States passenger vessel on the Great Lakes is one carrying more than 16 passengers, whereas a Canadian passenger vessel is one carrying more than 12 passengers. 54 Stat. 2306
(c)Canadian regulation 4, subparagraph (2), defines the free-board as the distance from the subdivision water line to the margin line and it is presumed that when marked on the ship as provided by regulation 49, subparagraph (2), that proper allowances will be made. It is the opinion of the competent American authorities that any differences which may arise with reference to the foregoing com-ments can be adjusted administratively. It appears from Canadian regulation no. 2 (P. C. 1790) that these regulations apply only to steel vessels, and that in the case of wooden vessels, if any, the breadth will be taken to the outside of the planking. The Coastwise Load Line Act, 1935, as amended, of the United [46 U. S. C., Supp. V, § 88d](/us/usc/t46/s88d).States, provides in the U. S. C., title 46, sec. 88 d: " “§ 88d. Foreign vessels; application of sub-chapter. Whenever the Secretary of Commerce shall certify that the laws and regulations in force in any foreign country relating to load lines are equally effective with the regulations established under sections 88 to 88i of this title, the Secretary of Commerce may direct, on proof that a vessel of that country has complied with such foreign laws and regulations, that such vessel and her master and owner shall be exempted from compliance with the provisions of sections 88 to 88i of this title, except as hereinafter provided: Provided, That this section shall not apply to the vessels of any foreign country which does not similarly recognize the load lines established under sections 88 to 88i of this title and the regulations made thereunder. (Aug. 27, 1935, c. 747, §5, 49 Stat. 889.).” " The Government of the United States recognizes the Canadian Load Line Regulations, as promulgated in the *Canada Gazette* dated August 12, 1939, respecting subdivision, pumping arrangements, watertight doors, and other appliances of passenger steamers making inland voyages on the Great Lakes between Canada and the United States, to be as effective as comparable United States regulations applicable to passenger vessels engaged in voyages on the Great Lakes between the United States and Canada, provided that the Canadian Government similarly recognizes the Subdivision Load Line Regulations of the United States applicable to passenger vessels engaged in voyages on the Great Lakes. With further reference to your note No. 217 of October 18, 1939, which stated that an Order-in-Council, P. C. 2669, dated September 14, 1939, was issued, amending two errors which occurred in the Order-in-Council of July 7, 1939, P. C. 1790, I am requested to inform you of the receipt by the Secretary of Commerce of the United States of this information. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Sir: With reference to the note No. 208, of the 10th January, 1940, from the United States Chargé d’Affaires ad interim, concerning a proposed arrangement between the United States and Canada for the reciprocal recognition of load line regulations for vessels engaged in international voyages on the Great Lakes, I have the honour to state that it is noted that the United States Government recognizes the Canadian regulations respecting subdivision, pumping arrangements, watertight doors and other appliances on passenger steamships engaged in making inland voyages on the Great Lakes between Canada and the United States to be as effective as comparable United States regulations applicable to passenger vessels engaged on voyages in the Great Lakes between Canada and the United States, provided that the Canadian Government similarly recognizes the subdivision load line regulations of the United States applicable to passenger vessels engaged in voyages on the Great Lakes. I may say that the Canadian Government recognizes the subdivision load line regulations of the United States applicable to passenger vessels engaged in voyages on the Great Lakes, as set forth in Section D of the Load Line Regulations of the United States, approved September 28th, 1937, as being as effective as the Canadian regulations respecting subdivision, pumping arrangements, watertight doors and other appliances for passenger steamships making inland voyages between Canada and the United States, as set forth in the Regulations respecting Subdivision and Pumping Arrangements of Passenger Steam-ships employed making Inland Voyages between Canada and the United States, P. C. 1790 of July 7th, 1939, and the Regulations respecting Watertight Doors and Other Appliances, P. C. 1791, of July 7th, 1939, respectively.

Effected by exchange of notes signed June 18, 1940; effective June 18, 1940.June 18, 1940[E.A.S. No. 174] The Canadian Secretary of State for External Affairs to the American Minister department of external affairs canada Ottawa, *June 18th, 1940*. No. 84 Sir: With reference to recent conversations between representatives of the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America regarding the extension to individuals ordinarily resident in Canada who are nationals of the United States and are not British subjects of certain exemptions from orders and regulations now or hereafter in force respecting the acquisition and disposition of foreign currency and foreign securities, I have the honour to propose an agreement concerning these exemptions in the following terms:—Terms proposed. 1. Such individuals will be exempt from any required declaration or sale of, and will be permitted freely to use or dispose of, foreign currency and foreign securities held by them (in which no non-exempted resident has any beneficial interest) which were
(a)acquired by them before the time of the coming into force of the Foreign Exchange Control Order, viz., before September 16, 1939; or
(b)acquired by them subsequent to such time from non-residents of Canada, excluding any foreign currency and foreign securities so acquired
(1)in connection with exports from or imports into Canada of property not exempted by this agreement, or
(2)as the result of business carried on in Canada. 2. The foregoing paragraph shall apply to private individuals and not to corporations, companies, associations, firms or partnerships. 3. Any of the exemptions mentioned above shall lapse if and when such individual becomes a British subject or ceases to be a United States national. 4. In the event similar exchange control measures should be enforced in the United States with respect to individuals ordinarily resident in the United States who are nationals of Canada and are not nationals of the United States, without like exemptions being granted such individuals, the Government of Canada shall consider themselves released from the obligation to continue to grant such of the exemptions provided for in this agreement as may not be accorded to the said individuals. 5. “Foreign currency”, as used in this agreement, is defined as meaning any currency (excluding coin) other than Canadian currency, including bank notes and other notes intended to circulate as money in any country outside Canada and also postal notes,54 Stat. 2318 money orders, cheques, travellers’ cheques, prepaid letters of credit, bank drafts and other similar instruments payable in any currency other than Canadian currency, and includes any foreign currency on deposit; and “foreign currency on deposit” or “deposit” means any amount in foreign currency of which a resident has a right to obtain payment by reason of a deposit, credit or balance of any kind at or with a bank, savings bank, trust company, loan company, stockbroker, investment dealer or other similar depositary or any other person or institution designated by the Canadian Foreign Exchange Control Board as a depositary. I have the honour to suggest that if an agreement in the sense of the foregoing paragraphs is acceptable to the Government of the United States this note and your reply thereto in similar terms shall be regarded as placing on record the understanding arrived at between the two Governments concerning this matter. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. O. D. Skelton for *Secretary of State for External Affairs*. Hon. J. Pierrepont Moffat, *Minister of the United States, Ottawa*.

Such individuals will be exempt from any required declara-tion or sale of, and will be permitted freely to use or dispose of, foreign currency and foreign securities held by them (in which no non-exempted resident has any beneficial interest) which were
(a)acquired by them before the time of the coming into force of the Foreign Exchange Control Order, viz., before September 16, 1939; or
(b)acquired by them subsequent to such time from non-residents of Canada, excluding any foreign currency and foreign securities so acquired
(1)in connection with exports from or imports into Canada of property not exempted by this agreement, or
(2)as the result of business carried on in Canada. 54 Stat. 2319 2. The foregoing paragraph shall apply to private individuals and not to corporations, companies, associations, firms or partnerships. 3. Any of the exemptions mentioned above shall lapse if and when such individual becomes a British subject or ceases to be a United States national. 4. In the event similar exchange control measures should be enforced in the United States with respect to individuals ordinarily resident in the United States who are nationals of Canada and are not nationals of the United States, without like exemptions being granted such individuals, the Government of Canada shall consider themselves released from the obligation to continue to grant such of the exemptions provided for in this agreement as may not be accorded to the said individuals. 5. “Foreign currency”, as used in this agreement, is defined as meaning any currency (excluding coin) other than Canadian currency, including bank notes and other notes intended to circulate as money in any country outside Canada and also postal notes, money orders, cheques, travellers’ cheques, prepaid letters or credit, bank drafts and other similar instruments payable in any currency other than Canadian currency, and includes any foreign currency on deposit; and “foreign currency on deposit” or “deposit” means any amount in foreign currency of which a resident has a right to obtain payment by reason of a deposit, credit or balance of any kind at or with a bank, savings bank, trust com-pany, loan company, stockbroker, investment dealer or other similar depositary or any other person or institution designated by the Canadian Foreign Exchange Control Board as a depositary. I have the honor to inform you that an agreement in the terms of the foregoing paragraphs is acceptable to the Government of the United States of America and that this note, and your note under reference, will be regarded as placing on record the understanding arrived at between our Governments concerning this matter. Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration. Pierrepont Moffat.

En caso de que el Gobierno de cualquiera de los dos países formule representaciones relativas a la aplicación por parte del Gobierno del otro país de las estipulaciones de este artículo, este último considerará amistosamente dichas representaciones y en caso de que, en un plazo de 30 días después de recibidas éstas, no se haya obtenido un resultado satisfactorio o no se haya llegado a un acuerdo sobre la materia objeto de dichas representaciones, el Gobierno que las haya formulado, dentro de los 15 días posteriores a la expiración del anterior período de 30 días, podrá dar por terminado este Convenio en su totalidad, dando aviso por escrito con 30 días de anticipación. 54 Stat. 2391 Articulo X Cualquier favor, ventaja, privilegio o inmunidad, relativos a derechos de aduana o contribuciones de cualquier clase sobre la importación o la exportación o conexos con ellas, a los métodos de percepción de dichos derechos o contribuciones, a los reglamentos y formalidades relacionados con la importación y exportación; a las leyes y reglamentos relativos a la venta, gravámenes o uso de los artículos importados, que hayan sido o fueren en lo futuro concedidos por los Estados Unidos de Venezuela o por los Estados Unidos de América a los artículos originarios de cualquier tercer país o destinados a él, se entenderán inmediata e incondicionalmente concedidos a los artículos similares originarios de los Estados Unidos de América o de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela o destinados a ellos, respectivamente.

Articulo XIII El Gobierno de cada una de las Partes Contratantes otorgará el tratamiento más favorable que permitan las leyes con respecto a las multas aplicables en casos de errores en la documentación para la 54 Stat. 2392importación de artículos cosechados, producidos o manufacturados en el otro país, cuando la índole de la infracción no dé lugar a duda sobre la buena fé o cuando tales errores tengan su origen, de manera evidente, en meras equivocaciones de copia.

El Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela se reserva el derecho de aplicar a los artículos importados en los Estados Unidos de Venezuela de las Antillas que no estén comprendidas dentro del territorio aduanero de los Estados Unidos de América, la sobretasa especial aplicable a tales artículos según las leyes vigentes en Venezuela. Articulo XVI Con sujeción al requisito de que, bajo circunstancias y condiciones análogas, no habrá discriminación arbitraria por uno y otro país en contra del otro en favor de cualquier tercer país, y sin perjuicio de 54 Stat. 2393las estipulaciones del parágrafo segundo del Artículo XIII, las disposiciones de este Convenio no se aplicarán a las prohibiciones o restricciones

(2)destinadas a proteger la vida o la salud humana, animal o vegetal;
(3)relacionadas con mercancías producidas en prisiones;
(4)con respecto a la ejecución de leyes policiales o fiscales.

Articulo XVII En caso de que el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de Venezuela o el Gobierno de los Estados Unidos de América adopte cualquier medida que aún cuando no esté en contradicción con los términos de este Convenio sea considerada por el Gobierno del otro país como anulando o desvirtuando cualquiera de sus fines, el Gobierno que haya adoptado tal medida considerará las representaciones y proposiciones que el otro Gobierno haga en el sentido de un arreglo mutuamente satisfactorio. Articulo XVIII Todas las diferencias entre las Altas Partes Contratantes, relativas a la interpretación o ejecución de este Convenio, se deciderán por los medios pacíficos reconocidos en el Derecho Internacional, de conformidad con los tratados y convenciones en vigor entre las Partes. Articulo XIX El presente convenio entrará en vigor el día dieciseis de diciembre de 1939 y reemplazará el modus vivendi entre los Estados Unidos de Venezuela y los Estados Unidos de América celebrado por cambio de notas firmadas el 12 de mayo de 1938 y prorrogado por cambio de notas de fecha 9 de mayo de 1939, y, con sujeción a lo previsto en los artículos VI, IX y XII, continuará por un período de un año. Podrá ser prorrogado, a la expiración de dicho período de un año o a la expiración de cualquier prórroga, por períodos adicionales de seis meses.

The President may at any time terminate any such proclamation in whole or in part” " Whereas, pursuant to the said Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, [53 Stat 2348](/us/stat/53/2348).I entered into a Trade Agreement on November 17, 1938,11[Executive Agreement Series No. 149.] with His Majesty the King of Great Britain, Ireland and the British dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India, in respect of Canada; [53 Stat 2393](/us/stat/53/2393).Whereas, by my proclamation of November 25, 1938,11[Executive Agreement Series No. 149.] I did make public the said Trade Agreement, including two Schedules annexed thereto, and in my proclamation provided that the provisions of Article VII of the said Agreement should be observed and fulfilled with good faith by the United States of America and the citizens thereof on and after January 1, 1939; Whereas, Article VII of the said Agreement provides as follows: " “1.

" “If imports of any article into either country should be regulated either as regards the total amount permitted to be imported or as regards the amount permitted to be imported at a specified rate of duty, and if shares are allocated to countries of export, the share allocated to the other country shall be based upon the proportion of the total imports of such article from all foreign countries supplied by that country in past years, account being taken in so far as practicable in appropriate cases of any special factors which may have affected or may be affecting the trade in that article. In those cases in which the other country is a relatively large supplier of any such article, the Government of the country imposing the regulation shall, whenever practicable, consult with the Government of the other country before the share to be allocated to that country is determined.” " Whereas, by my proclamation of February 27, 1939,22[Executive Agreement Series No. 149, p. 53.] I did proclaim [53 Stat. 2397](/us/stat/53/2397).the allocation among countries of export, on the basis therein set forth, of the quantity of cattle weighing seven hundred pounds or more each (other than cows imported specially for dairy purposes) entitled to a reduction in duty by virtue of the said item 701 of Schedule II annexed to the said Agreement during the period April 1 to December 31, 1939 inclusive; 54 Stat. 2448 *Ante*, p. 2290.Whereas, Schedule II annexed to the said Agreement provides in part as follows: Whereas, by my proclamation of November 30, 1939,33[Executive Agreement Series No. 170.] such allocation was continued for the calendar year 1940; Whereas, after consultation with the Government of the United States of America, the Government of Canada has requested the Government of the United States of America to continue such allocation during the calendar year 1941; Whereas such allocation is required and appropriate to carry out the said Agreement; Whereas I find that, taking into account special factors affecting the trade, imports into the United States of America from all countries of such cattle weighing seven hundred pounds or more each (other than cows imported specially for dairy purposes) during the years 1936 and 1937 were representative of the trade in such articles; Findings.Whereas I find that the proportions of total imports into the United States of America for consumption of such cattle weighing seven hundred pounds or more each (other than cows imported specially for dairy purposes) supplied by Canada and by other foreign countries, respectively, during the years 1936 and 1937 were as follows: Canada 86.2 per centum Other foreign countries 13.8 per centum Proclamation of allocation of tariff quota on heavy cattle, 1941.Now, therefore, be it known that I, Franklin D.
