NOTE AS TO THE ISSUES OF THE TRADING WITH THE ENEMY (STATUTORY LIST) PROCLAMATION TOGETHER WITH THE CONSOLIDATED STATUTORY LIST REVISED TO DATE OF ISSUE.

[The Statutory List annexed to the Principal Trading with the Enemy (Statutory List) Proclamation (numbered 1) (printed as first issued as St. R. & O., 1916, No. 320), has been repeatedly varied and added to by Orders of Council made under Section. 1 (2) of the Trading with the Enemy (Extension of Powers) Act, 1915 (5 & 6 GEO. 5, c. 98). Those Orders of Council (all of which were printed and numbered as St. R. & O.) are also numbered consecutively No. 2 and onwards.

Amendment Act.

The Principal Proclamation as amended by the Proclamation of January 16, 1918, printed immediately above, is from time to time reprinted and put on sale with the Statutory List, as thus varied and added to, complete to the date of such reissue-the reprint bearing a number corresponding to that of the latest Order of Council therein incorporated; copies of such reprints can be purchased from H.M. Stationery Office.

Thus the (February 21, 1919) latest of these reprints, is numbered 76a, and contains the Statutory List with the then latest variations, viz. :-those which were effected by Order of Council No. 76, dated February 21, 1919 (St. R. & O., 1919, No. 188).

The reprint in question incorporates, forms a complete consolidation of, and therefore supersedes, the following Statutory Rules and Orders:

1916: Nos. 320, 346, 369, 433, 457, 514, 547, 588, 652, 730, 760, 761, 798, 839, 872.

1917: Nos. 1, 14, 73, 144, 197, 241, 263, 267, 344, 392, 430, 477, 525, 558, 672, 725, 775, 827, 905, 948, 988, 1034, 1080, 1129, 1195, 1235, 1307.

1918: Nos. 3, 23, 47, 50, 104, 195, 233, 320, 345, 406, 449, 502, 543, 556, 592, 640, 775, 859, 929, 1002, 1048, 1186, 1242, 1322, 1406, 1485, 1547, 1644, 1673.

1919: Nos. 1, 20, 43, 118 and 188.

Those St. R. & O. are with the exception of the amending Proclamation of January 16, 1918 (printed above), confined to variations of the names, &c., in the Statutory List, and have therefore not been reprinted in the Annual Volumes of St. R. & O. as the variances in the Statutory List are so frequent as to render the Consolidated Issues herein referred to as supplemented by any Order of Council subsequent to such a Consolidated Issue alone of use for practical reference.]
