It states: Whenever an attempt is made to export or ship from or take out of the United States any arms or munitions of war or other articles in violation of law. or whenever it is known or there shall be probable cause to believe that any arms or munitions of war or other articles are intended to be or are being or have been exported or removed from the United States in violation of law. the Secretary of the Treasury. or any person duly authorized for the purpose by the President. may seize and detain any vessel. vehicle. or aircraft containing the same or which has been or is being used in exporting or attempting to export such arms or munitions of war or other articles. It is my hope that the Customs Bureau will stringently enforce this section. There has also been brought to my attention section 215 of the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act. which provides for control of travel outside the country by aliens and citizens in time of war or national emergency. Under this section. it would be illegal to enter or leave the United States without a valid passport. unless under exceptions or exemptions set forth by the President. The penalty for violation of this section is a $5.000 fine or 5 years in jail. or both.
