 Since the passage of the trading ith-the-enemy act, approved De- tober 6, 1917, the War Trade Board has received from exporters, inn porters, and other persons engaged | in foreign trade numerous and urg- ent requests that there be published | for their guidance in observing the | provisions of the statute, a list of | those concerns in foreign countries | with whom, under the provisions of | the trading with -the-enemy act, il would be illegal to trade without a license. In response to these representations the War Trade Board. in co-opera l ton with other governmental de- partments. has compiled a list known as the Enemy Trading List, which has been made public today and is | now being distributed to merchants and commercial org izations throughout the country. Notes on the Enemy Trading List This list contains the names of some 1900 concerns in Latin Amer l ica, with the following predatory note:
 l. The Enemy Trading List is com piled for the benefit of American merchants who, by the trading with the-enemY act, are prohibited under penalties from trading with the en- emy or ally of enemy without first obtaining a license from the war trade board.
 This is a list of enemies and allies of enemies. and other persons. firms, and corporat tions, whom there is req sonable cause to believe have acted directly or indirectly for. on account of, on behalf of. or for the benefit of enemies and allies of enemies.
 This list does not purport to be q complete list. Any person. firm, or corporation trading with any other person. firm, or corporation whom there is reasonable cause to believe is an enemy or ally of enemy. or in such trade is acting for, on account of, on behalf, or for the benefit of an enemy or ally of enemy is not relieved from the prohibitions and penalties imposed by the trading with -the-enemy act by reason of the fact that the name of such other person, firm, or corporation does not appear upon this list.
 J In order to minimize, as far as possible, any inconvenience which may be caused to American mer- chants by the dslocation of foreign trade owing to the operation of ,Ee trading with he-enemy act the war r1 ing the names of nonenemy firms who may be able to act as substi- tutes for firms who may prove to be enemies or allies of the enemy with in the meaning of the trading with the-enemy act. A considerable amount of information is already available at the war trade board, and It will be in many cases possible to suggest the names of satisfactory substitutes without the necessity o. of referring the matter abroad Tn, board is, however, prepared on ap- plication to inquire of United States consuls abroad for the names oi suitable substitutes. When the ap. plicant wishes this done by telegraph he will be required to undertake t pay the cost of tclegTaphic core spondence
 The board, assumes no responsibil ity whatever for the credit, standing or financial responsibility of suci substitute firms
 It would greatly facilitate the worl of the war trade board if applicant in making inquiries would specif, the particular trade or trades fo which substitutes are required.
