PROC. NO. 2605. THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES           
Proc. No. 2605, Feb. 18, 1944, 9 F.R. 1957, 58 Stat. 1126,
provided:
The flag of the United States of America is universally
representative of the principles of the justice, liberty, and
democracy enjoyed by the people of the United States; and
People all over the world recognize the flag of the United States
as symbolic of the United States; and
The effective prosecution of the war requires a proper
understanding by the people of other countries of the material
assistance being given by the Government of the United States:
NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the power vested in me by the
Constitution and laws of the United States, particularly by the
Joint Resolution approved June 22, 1942, as amended by the Joint
Resolution approved December 22, 1942 [now sections 4 to 10 of this
title], as President and Commander in Chief, it is hereby
proclaimed as follows:
1. The use of the flag of the United States or any representation
thereof, if approved by the Foreign Economic Administration, on
labels, packages, cartons, cases, or other containers for articles
or products of the United States intended for export as lend-lease
aid, as relief and rehabilitation aid, or as emergency supplies for
the Territories and possessions of the United States, or similar
purposes, shall be considered a proper use of the flag of the
United States and consistent with the honor and respect due to the
flag.
2. If any article or product so labelled, packaged or otherwise
bearing the flag of the United States or any representation
thereof, as provided for in section 1, should, by force of
circumstances, be diverted to the ordinary channels of domestic
trade, no person shall be considered as violating the rules and
customs pertaining to the display of the flag of the United States,
as set forth in the Joint Resolution approved June 22, 1942, as
amended by the Joint Resolution approved December 22, 1942 (U.S.C.,
Supp. II, title 36, secs. 171-178) [now sections 4 to 10 of this
title] for possessing, transporting, displaying, selling or
otherwise transferring any such article or product solely because
the label, package, carton, case, or other container bears the flag
of the United States or any representation thereof.
