L November 7, 1941 J
CONSUMER CREDIT
REGISTRATION UNDER REGULATION W
OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM
To all Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:
The forms of Registration Statement required under Regulation W, designated as Form F.R. 563, will be ready for distribution shortly. It will be
appreciated if the banks and others who are particularly interested in consumer
credit will assist in the distribution of the forms and publicize the fact that
the forms may be obtained at their offices.
Details regarding the registration requirements are set forth on the following
pages. Two copies of the form of Registration Statement will ordinarily be
needed by each Registrant, one to be executed by an authorized person and
returned directly to this bank, and the other to be retained by the Registrant.
Upon receipt of the completed statement, we will mail the Registrant a
"Registration Certificate".
In order that we may be in a position to distribute the forms as expeditiously as possible, we should appreciate your returning the enclosed card at
your earliest convenience after having indicated thereon the number of copies
of Form F.R. 563 and of this circular which you will need.
ALLAN SPROUL,
President.
NOTICE REGARDING REGISTRATION IN CONNECTION WITH REGULATION W
ON CONSUMER CREDIT
Under authority of Executive Order No. 8843 issued by the President of the United States,
dated August 9, 1941, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System on August 21,
1941, issued Regulation W dealing with Consumer Credit. Section 3 of this regulation provides
that all those who are subject to the regulation are required to be licensed. All such persons
and organizations are automatically given a license which continues until December 31, 1941,
but in order to have a license after December 31, 1941, it is necessary, on or before that date,
to file a registration statement on the required form. This notice describes who must register
and how registration is to be accomplished.
Who Must Register
A Registration Statement should be filed by any person or organization which is:
(1) engaged in the business of making instalment sales of any of the articles listed in
the Supplement to Regulation W (which list is printed on the following page), or
(2) engaged in the business of making instalment loans in amounts of $1,500 or less, or
instalment loans in any amount secured by articles listed in the Supplement, or
(3) engaged in the business of discounting or purchasing (or lending on the security of)
instalment obligations arising from transactions described in (1) or (2).
How to Register
Registration is accomplished by filling out Form F.R. 563 and filing it with the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York provided the Registrant's main office is located in the Second
Federal Reserve District, which includes the entire State of New York, Fairfield County,
Connecticut, and the counties of Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Middlesex, Monmouth,
Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren in the State of New Jersey. Only one
copy of the Registration Statement need be filed; the second copy is provided for the files of
the Registrant.
Only one Registration Statement is required for any one person or corporation, which
will cover the main office and all branches, but each subsidiary, if it is a separate corporate
entity and is engaged in the business outlined above, is required to file a separate Registration
Statement.
Instructions for filling in Form F.R. 563 are given on the back of the form, and these are
intended to enable the Registrant to fill in the form quite readily. If in completing the statement, however, any Registrant has questions which are not answered by these instructions, or
finds that following the instructions exactly would cause undue expense or inconvenience, the
Registrant should take up such questions with the Federal Reserve Bank.
The foregoing notice applies only to persons who are in business and are required to
register on or before Dece?nber 31, 1941. For persons who begin business after that date and
who will be required to register, an appropriate form and instructions will be obtainable from
the Federal Reserve Bank at that time.

Freezing Control as a Weapon of Economic Defense
by
EDWARD H. FOLEY, Jr.
General Counsel for the Treasury Department
Address delivered before the Committee on Insurance Law
AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION—SIXTY-FOURTH ANNUAL MEETING
Lincoln Hotel, Indianapolis, Indiana
September 29, 1941
I
NCREASING public attention is being focused on
problems of economic defense as a part of the total
program of our national defense effort. Although less
dramatic and stirring than military action, a sound
and far-reaching policy in the economic and financial
area will play a vital role in the weakening and ultimate defeat of the aggressor nations.
It may take us many months to whip into shape
an effective army and to increase our production of
war materials enough to become the real arsenal of
democracy. On the economic defense front, however,
there need be no period of preparation preliminary to
major action. We are prepared now. We are equipped
today with the most powerful economic weapons in
the world.
Foreign funds control, or freezing control as it is
more popularly called, is one of the most important
instruments which this country can employ in its
economic defense. This control in effect subjects to
regulation and scrutiny all transactions in which
blocked countries or their nationals have any type of
interest. The control also has those elements of speed
and flexibility that make possible the immediate execution of economic programs in the furtherance of this
Government's foreign policy.
mark. On that day the President, by Executive Order,1
prohibited transactions involving Norwegian and Danish property except as authorized by the Secretary
of the Treasury. Thereafter, as other countries were
invaded or subjected to the domination of aggressor
powers, freezing control was made applicable to them.
On June 14, 1941, a most important extension of
freezing control took place. The remaining countries
of continental Europe including Germany and Italy
were brought under the control. This step changed
the emphasis of freezing control from a defensive
weapon primarily intended to protect the property of
invaded countries, to a frankly aggressive weapon
against the Axis.
On July 26, 1941, when Japan over-ran IndoChina, the control was invoked against Japan. The
public is becoming increasingly aware that the impact
of freezing control on Japan has proved to be the most
powerful and decisive action which this country has

as yet taken to curb Japanese aggression. At the same
time, freezing control was extended to China at the
specific request of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in
order to assist China in the control of its economy and
in order to prevent Japan from using the occupied
areas in China as a loop-hole for evading our freezing
control.
On July 17, 1941, a step of a somewhat different
order was taken. The President authorized the issuance of The Proclaimed List of Certain Blocked Nationals. This List, better known as the black list,
contains the names of about two thousand persons and
firms in the American republics whose activities this
Government believes are unfriendly to the interests
of the United States and hemispheric defense. From
time to time names have been added to and deleted
from the list. The black list has the effect of extending
the freezing control to the listed persons and firms
and treating them for all purposes as though they
were nationals of Germany or Italy.
Legal Aspects
The freezing control order is based on a section of
the 1917 Trading with the Enemy Act.2 This section
has been held constitutional by the Supreme Court of
the United States.3 Apart from the statutory provisions, the President possesses powers conferred upon
him directly by the Constitution. Some aspects of these
Presidential powers, including his power to control
foreign relations, I expect to discuss tomorrow before
the Municipal Law Section.
of the interrelationships which have long existed between certain persons and concerns in this country and
foreign interests and in view of the changing nature of
the economic problems to be met from time to time, it is
indeed fortunate that the authority vested in the
President is sufficiently broad to permit him to apply
the freezing control as the situation currently requires.
Purposes
The application of freezing control to an increasingly larger area of the world has greatly increased
the effectiveness of the control.
When the control was first invoked it was regarded
as a means of insuring that the Danish and Norwegianowned property in this country would not fall into the
hands of Germany. The Government also regarded
itself as owing a responsibility to those persons who
placed their assets here out of confidence in our
strength and fairness. Freezing control also minimized
the liabilities of American banks and others against
the assertion of conflicting claims to property arising
out of invasion and other revolutionary changes in the
over-run countries of Europe.
Not only was it necessary to protect property in
this country belonging to the invaded areas; it was
also necessary to prevent the Axis powers from realizing the full benefits of large amounts of securities and
other assets which they had looted in the invaded
countries. To this end controls were established over
the importation into the United States of securities,
diamonds, paintings, and other valuable assets which
had
fallen into Axis hands.

relationships must be dealt with in a manner which
will not destroy legitimate American interests. Action
will continue to be taken to solve this problem.
The freezing order and regulations provide ample
facilities for requiring reports and making investigations to assure the effective functioning of the program. We are now engaged in taking a complete and
comprehensive census of every conceivable type of
foreign-owned property within the United States, irrespective of whether the owner of such property has
been blocked under the freezing order. This census
requires precise data as to the identity of the foreign
interests and the nature and location of the property.
We anticipate that the census will be an invaluable
aid in effectively carrying out the many aspects of the
program which I have discussed and in assuring the
complete protection of American interests as well as of
friendly foreign interests.
One aspect of freezing control that I should not
omit is its usefulness as a mechanism through which
we may provide assistance to friendly countries in their
own regulation of finance and trade. As I indicated,
freezing control was applied to China at the specific
request of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. This action
by our Government in conjunction with the British
and Dutch is immeasurably strengthening China's
ability to acquire and retain much needed foreign exchange and to control China's foreign trade. Our
coordination of freezing control with exchange and
trade regulation by China reduces evasions of the
Chinese control and strengthens China's authority
over trade and finance in occupied China and in the
international settlements where China would otherwise be largely impotent.
Foreign funds control is so flexible and dynamic
an instrument of economic defense that we may reasonably assume its growing usefulness as new situations
arise. We may likewise reasonably assume that freezing control will be a most useful instrument in dealing
with several of the inevitable post-war economic and
financial problems.
Operation
In view of the wide range of functions dealt with
by freezing control, it is not surprising that the ad-
ministration of freezing control presents difficulties.
The Treasury has constantly sought and adopted
methods for simplifying the licensing procedure and
the issuance of rulings and other information on
questions of public interest.
Policy questions arising under freezing control are
considered by an interdepartmental committee consisting of representatives of State, Treasury, and Justice
Departments. Liaison is maintained with the recently
created Economic Defense Board on which the State,
Treasury, and Justice Departments are represented.
Activities of freezing control are also coordinated with
the functions of other departments and agencies of
the Government.
The Treasury has sought to give applicants and
their counsel full opportunity to present their ease to
the Department, both orally and in writing, and to
insure the disposition of applications on the basis of
equality and denned principles of policy. We have
always been prepared to reconsider any denial of an
application. In many instances, the Department has
granted a previously denied license, upon presentation
of additional information or upon further consideration of the case.
It is the desire of the Department to do everything
possible to facilitate public understanding of freezing
control problems. The Treasury and the Federal
Keserve Banks are always available to discuss problems
that may arise.
The legal profession can and should play an important role in the administration of freezing control
and the Department would welcome suggestions from
lawyers and all other groups as to how we can do a
better job. You can help the Department by telling
us what loopholes we are missing and how we can
deal with them, as well as by telling us the areas in
which we are unnecessarily strict.
All Americans are anxious to play an active part in
this country's defense program. Lawyers, bankers,
brokers, and other business and professional groups
can make a real contribution to national defense by
assisting and cooperating with the Government in the
administration of freezing control.
