HISTORICAL AND REVISION NOTES
Based on section 103 of title 50, U.S.C., 1940 ed., War and
National Defense (Apr. 20, 1918, ch. 59, Sec. 3, 40 Stat. 534).
The conspiracy provisions are new. Their addition to the section
was strongly urged by the Criminal Division of the Department of
Justice, considering the gravity of the substantive offense as
evidenced by the prescribed punishment therefor. The punishment
provisions of the general conspiracy statute, section 371 of this
title, are inadequate.
Words "upon conviction thereof" were omitted as unnecessary,
since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured.
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
