CODIFICATION
Section comprises subsec. (a) of section 20 of act Sept. 19,
1922, as amended by act Feb. 26, 1925. Subsec. (b) of section 20 is
classified to section 160 of this title.
In the first sentence, the words "(except as provided by the Act
entitled 'An Act creating a United States Court for China and
prescribing the jurisdiction thereof,' approved June 30, 1906, as
amended)" have been omitted because that Act (formerly classified
to sections 191 to 197, 199, 200, and 202 of Title 22, Foreign
Relations and Intercourse) was repealed by act June 25, 1948, ch.
646, Sec. 39, 62 Stat. 992, eff. Sept. 1, 1948.
The provision in the second sentence that suits against the China
Trade Act corporation might also be brought in the United States
Court for China was omitted as that court is no longer in
operation. By the treaty of Jan. 11, 1943, between the United
States and China, the United States relinquished extraterritorial
rights in China. See Codification note set out under section 142 of
this title.
Section was formerly classified to section 53 of Title 28 prior
