that he had had the municipal archi-

The Commissioners made clear they

were chiefly interested in placing

Unchallenged facts in the con-

After issuing a proclamation set
ting up the Export Control Admin

1910, issued a military order as COM
mander in chief which stated that
control of exports was essentially
a military function and designated
Gen. Maxwell as administrator OF
export control.
On September Is the President,
reversing his position that export
control was essentially a military
function, transferred the Export
Control Administrators functions
to the Economic Defense Board as a
branch Of that organization.
