Report must be made regardless of whether a report on Form TFR-100 with respect to any such property shall have previously been filed. Additional reports are required regarding all property subject to the jurisdiction of the United States on July 26,1941, in which on said date China or Japan or any national thereof had any interest. All reports are to be filed on or before September 30,1941. For your information there is enclosed a copy of Public Circular No. 4, dated August 16, 1941, entitled “ Instructions for Preparation of Reports on Form TFR-300 o f All Foreign-owned Property Subject to the Jurisdiction of the United States.” As stated in Section I of the Circular, Form TFR-300 has been issued in nine series, Series A to Series I, inclusive, each series being designed for the use of particular groups and classes of persons under a duty to report. The purpose of each series is summarized in Section II of the Circular. Reports must be filed by nationals themselves, by persons having property of nationals, by organizations whose securities are held by nationals, and by persons acting as agents or representa tives of nationals. However, no report need be filed if the total value of all property of any national which any one person would otherwise be required to report was less than $1,000, except that this exemption does not apply to leases of safe deposit boxes, patents, trademarks, copyrights, franchises, interests in partnerships or profit-sharing agreements or property the value of which cannot readily be determined. No reports are required regarding the property of nationals who are “ generally licensed nationals” under General License No. 42 or General License No. 68, pertinent portions of which appear on page 5 of the Circular. It will be necessary for banks to file reports regarding property held by them for nationals on the specified dates. If a bank held several types of property for a particular national, it may be obliged to make a report on more than one series of Form TFR-300 for that national. In addition to preparing such reports as may be required of them, banks can lend valuable assistance by disseminating in formation regarding the necessity of filing reports to such of their customers as may be concerned and should make available to such customers Public Circular No. 4 containing the instructions re garding reports. Additional copies of Public Circular No. 4 and the various series of Form TFR-300 may be obtained from any Federal Reserve bank. Enclosed are order blanks which may be used to obtain the copies of these materials needed by you. Such order blanks should be sent to the Federal Reserve bank in your district. E. H. FOLEY, JR., Acting Secretary of the Treasury.
