President Wilson placed all exports to aall countries under license by the war trade lioard. The proclamation also applies the license system to all imports and thus places the entire foreign commerce system of the war trade board. It is one of the steps of reducing ocean carriage of non-essentials to release ! ships for transportation of troops anil war materials. The following explanatory statement t was issued by the war trade board: "The president has issued two proIf clamations which will become effective at once. The purpose and effect oi these proclamations are subject to 0 control bv license the entire foreign 1 commerce of the i'nited States, and v from ami after Feb. 16. 191s. no com, modifies may l?e exported from this , country or imported into this country s except under license. The president has heretofore issued several proclamations controlling certain exports under the provisions ot title VII of the es|ioinagf act and one proclamation controlling the imitorin. tion of certain commodities under the provisions of section 11 of the trading with the enemy act. The military t situation and the tonnage situation . have made increasingly apparent tin - necessity of instituting a complete and thoroughgoing control of all our exports and lin|>orts. "The transportation of our armies te s j France and the maintenance of a continued How of the supplies and munitions, needed to maintain them in s lighting trim require the use of every n ton of shipping which can possibly Ik d devoted to these pur|>oses. This tiee niand must he met and if it become.* necessary to curtail our exports or imports. these are measures which art ( forced upon us by the critical tonnage () situation and the necessity of availing ourselves of every possible means til maintaining our armies in trance. "The limitntion of exports is neces'I sary also to conserve the products ol - this country for tin* use of our owr I |>eoplo and the peoples of the nation! s associated with us in the war: we nius - dispose of this surplus in such a waj as to a id. as far its possible those coun< tries to the south which have always s depended upon us; we also must dts,, pose of our surplus in such a way tha (l (lei-many anil her allies will derive nc . Iienellt therefrom; and we must securi for ourselves in return shipping am supplies urgently needed. 0 "The promulgation of these two prO' 0 elamutions does not mean an ctnhargc ' on exports or a prohibition of imports u Init pliiees in tin- hands of the presi 0 dent the |?ower to regulate which hi will exercise through the war tradi . hoard and the treasury department ,t This |?o\ver will he exercised with thi I, single purpose of w-inning the war. ani lH every effort will he made to avoid un 0 necesary interference with our foreigi . trade and to im|iose upon our export era and importers no restrictions ex cept those involved in the accomplish '' inent or definite and necessary oh jeets. l* "As heretofore, licenses for the ex 10 port or import of coin, bullion, curren cy, evidences of debt or of ownershli m, of property arid transfers of credit, wll d be Issued by the treasury department licenses for all other exports and im >f ports, including merchandise, hunkers o ships' supplies, etc., will he issued bj n the war trade hoard."
