While the army and navy of the United States are in France “making the world safe for democracy,” Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto President Wilson (having received an unlawful advantage of ineligible Electoral votes)—without a constitutional amendment—signs the Trading with the Enemy Act: “[T]he President … may prohibit … by means of licenses, or otherwise … the export [or] hoarding of gold or silver coin” (lawful Money). The act also provides for,
- Censorship of foreign mail by the Post Office,
- Seizure of factories owned by United states subject-citizens of German descent, and
- Establishment of the War Trade Board to license imports and exports.
NOTE: This act was to be automatically repealed with the ratification of the peace treaty with Germany.
