President Roosevelt by proclamation of July 1941 provided for
establishment of “The Proclaimed List of Certain Blocked Nationals” to
be published in the Federal Register. The list was to contain the names
of those persons deemed to be, or to have been, acting on behalf of
the interests of Germany and Italy. Any material or article exported
from the United States through the efforts of German and Italian
“blocked nationals” was declared to be detrimental to the interest of
national defense in the United States.[194] The Secretary of State,
acting in conjunction with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney
General, the Secretary of Commerce, the Administrator of Export
Control, and the Coordinator of Commercial and Cultural Relations
between the American Republics was required to prepare the list.[195]
Persons naturalized after January 1, 1951 created a _prima facie_ case
that they were not attached to the principles of the Constitution of
the United States at the time of naturalization, if within five years
after naturalization they joined as a member or affiliated with any
organization, attachment to which would have precluded or hindered
naturalization in the first place. The unwary risked cancellation of
his citizenship for fraud if found to be connected with an organization
whose goals and objectives were directed against the United States.
This is one of the Internal Security Act provisions[196] designed
to exclude communists from naturalization. The Expatriation Act
of 1954 provides for the loss of nationality of persons (whether
natural born or naturalized citizens) convicted by a court or court
martial of committing treason against the United States, or engaging
in a conspiracy to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the
Government of the United States, or to levy war against them.[197]
