Historical and Revision NotesBased on section 35 of title 50, U.S.C., 1940 ed., War and National Defense (June 15, 1917, ch. 30, title I, § 5, 40 Stat. 219; Mar. 28, 1940, ch. 72, § 2, 54 Stat. 79). Similar harboring and concealing language was added to section 2388 of this title. Mandatory punishment provision was rephrased in the alternative.
