far as they pertain to the shipments
of materials susceptible of immediate
use for war purposes. An Individual
export license must be obtained for

would be granted only in exceptional
cases.
Individual export licenses also will

component parts.
While taken independently of other
nations, this action followed extern
sive exchanges between the United

state political recognition, present or
future, OF any Russian authority exer-
cising or claiming to exercise govern
mental functions was neither granted

II also emphasized that individuals
or corporations trading with Russia
would do so on their own responsible
ity and at their own risk as this gov
eminent could offer no protection to
