States, may (if not entitled to proceed under subsection (d) of this section) proceed under subsection (a) for the recovery of any interest, right, or title in any such money or other property which has, by reason of the death of such person, become the interest, right, or title of a citizen of the United States, unless such citizenship was acquired through naturalization proceedings in which the declaration of intention was filed after November 11, 1918. Such legal representative shall give a bond, in a penal sum and with sureties satisfactory to the President or the court, as the case may be, conditioned that he will redeliver to the Alien Property Custodian all such money or other property not distributed to such citizen, or, if deceased, to his heirs or legal representatives.

(h) [Amount returned to one person limited.] The aggregate value of the money or other property returned under paragraphs (9) and (10) of subsection (b) to any one person, irrespective of the number of trusts involved, shall in no case exceed $10,000.

(i) [Income, etc., when considered principal.] For the purposes of paragraphs (9) and (10) of subsection (b) of this section accumulated net income, dividends, interest, annuities, and other earnings, shall be considered as part of the principal.

(j) [Return of patents, trade-marks and copyrights.] Subsection (g) and paragraphs (9) and

(10) of subsection (b) of this section shall not apply to any patent, trade-mark, print, label, copyright, or right therein or claim thereto, conveyed, transferred, assigned, or delivered to the Alien Property Custodian, or seized by him, or to the proceeds received from the sale, license, or other disposition of any such patent, trade-mark, print, label, copyright, or right therein or claim thereto; but the Alien Property Custodian is authorized and directed to return to the person entitled thereto, whether or not an enemy or ally of enemy and regardless of the value, any patent, trade-mark, print, label, copyright, or right therein or claim thereto, which has been conveyed, transferred, assigned, or delivered to the Alien Property Custodian, or seized by him, and which (1) has not been sold, licensed, or otherwise disposed of under the provisions of this Act, and (2) is not involved (at the time this subsection takes effect) in litigation in which the United States, or any agency thereof, is a party.

Section 2. That the " Trading with the Enemy Act", as amended, is amended by adding thereto the following sections:

Section 20. [Maximum fees of agents and attorneys.] That no money or other property shall be

paid, conveyed, transferred, assigned, or delivered under this Act to any agent, attorney, or representative of any person entitled thereto, unless satisfactory evidence is furnished the President or the court, as the case may be, that the fee of such agent, attorney, or representative for services in connection therewith does not exceed 3 per centum of the value of such money or other property; but nothing in this section shall be construed as fixing such fees at 3 per centum of the value of such money or other property, such 3 per centum being fixed only as the maximum fee that may be allowed or accepted for such services. Any person accepting any fee in excess of such 3 per centum shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished as provided in section 16 hereof.

Section 21. Effect of presumption of expatriation.] That the claim of any naturalized American citizen under the provisions of this Act shall not be denied on the ground of any presumption of expatriation which has arisen against him, under the second sentence of section 2 of the Act entitled "An Act in reference to the expatriation of citizens and their protection abroad ", approved March 2, 1907, if he shall give satisfactory evidence to the President, or the court, as the case may be, of his uninterrupted loyalty to the United States during his absence, and that he has returned to the United States, or that he, although desiring to return, has

been prevented from so returning by circumstances beyond his control.

Section 22. [Fugitives from justice not entitled to return of property or money.] No person shall be entitled to the return of any property or money under the provisions of this Act who is a fugitive from justice from the United States or any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia.

Section 23. [Income, etc., to be returned; limitation.] The Alien Property Custodian is directed to pay to the person entitled thereto, from and after the time this section takes effect, the net income, dividend, interest, annuity, or other earnings, accruing and collected thereafter, on any property or money held in trust for such person by the Alien Property Custodian or by the Treasurer of the United States for the account of the Alien Property Custodian, under such rules and regulations as the President may prescribe; but no person shall be paid, under this section, any amount in excess of $10,000 per annum.

Section 24. [Alien property custodian may pay taxes and expenses.] The Alien Property Custodian is authorized to pay all taxes (including special assessments), heretofore or hereafter lawfully assessed by any body politic against any money or other property held by him or by the Treasurer of the United States under this Act, and to pay the

necessary expenses incurred by him or by any depositary for him in securing the possession, collection, or control of any such money or other property, or in protecting or administering the same. Such taxes and expenses shall be paid out of the money or other property against which such taxes are assessed or in respect of which such expenses are incurred, or (if such money or other property is insufficient) out of any other money or property held for the same person, notwithstanding the fact that a claim may have been filed or suit instituted under this Act.

2. NOTE ON THE WINSLOW BILL-AMENDMENT OF MARCH 4, 1923.

A large part of this amendment is a re-enactment of the amendment of June 5, 1920, and the minor subsequent amendments.

Section 9, subd. a is the claims section. The limitation for commencing suit, which originally was six months and by the amendment of December 1, 1921, became eighteen months and by the amendment of December 27, 1922, became thirty months after the end of the war, was stricken out so that now suit on such claims may be brought at any time.

Section 9, subd. b. No change was made in paragraphs 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
