    the punishment provisions applicable to sections 10 and 11 of title
    18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., was combined with section 11 of title 18,

    the government of any State, Territory, District or possession
    thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein"
    were substituted for "any government in the United States".
      In second and third paragraphs, word "such" was inserted after
    "any" and before "government", and words "in the United States"
    which followed "government" were omitted.
      In view of these changes, the provisions of subsection (b) of
    section 10 of title 18, U.S.C., 1940 ed., which defined the term
    "government in the United States" were omitted as unnecessary.

    omitted as covered by the general conspiracy provision,
    incorporated in section 371 of this title. (See reviser's note
    under that section.)
      Words "upon conviction thereof" which preceded "be fined" were
    omitted as surplusage, as punishment cannot be imposed until a
    conviction is secured.
      The phraseology was considerably changed to effect consolidation
    but without any change of substance.

    and "twenty years" for "ten years" in the paragraph prescribing
    penalties applicable to advocating overthrow of government and
    inserted provisions relating to conspiracy to commit any offense
    named in this section.
