AMERICAN ASSETS

CENSUS TO BE TAKEN To obtain complete and accurate information on American assets in foreign countries the Government of the United States will conduct a census of property in foreign countries in which any person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States had an interest on May 31, 1943. Every, person subject to the jurisdiction of the United States must file a report, but reports are not required from persons in the Armed Forces of the United States serving in foreign countries, or, with some exceptions, from persons whose property in all foreign countries on May 31 had an aggregate value of less than 10,000 dollars. Reports are not required from foreign organisations controlled by American citizens, although the controlling persons must report their interest. Branches of American organisations which are maintained in foreign countries should not report, as the parent organisations will report in the United States. Further details of the requirements and census forms are available at the American Legation in Wellington and the American Consulate in Auckland, which require the completed forms in triplicate not later than September 30.
