Resolution of the Exports Administrative Board, September 19, 1917, As Amended October 4, 1917, Concerning Licenses to Sailing Vessels 1

The director is authorized to take such steps and make such arrangements with the collectors of the ports as may be necessary and proper to bring it about that in any case where a license has been granted and it appears that the commodity so licensed will be transported upon a sailing vessel which proposes to traverse the submarine danger zone, then and in every such case, the validity of such license shall be suspended, and clearance for such vessel withheld until the case shall have been brought to the attention of Mr. Munson who shall thereupon give directions to revoke such license, or such other directions as he shall deem advisable.
