Based on section 106 of title 50, U.S.C., 1940 ed., War and National Defense (Apr. 20, 1918, ch. 59, § 6, as added Nov. 30, 1940, ch. 926, 54 Stat. 1221).

Reference to persons causing or procuring was omitted as unnecessary in view of definition of “principal” in section 2 of this title.

Words “upon conviction thereof” were omitted as unnecessary, since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured.

Minor changes were made in phraseology.

1996—Puspan. L. 104–294 substituted “, or” for “or” in section catchline.

1994—Subsec. (a). Puspan. L. 103–322 substituted “fined under this title” for “fined not more than $10,000”.
