Department of tbe Treasury Records
Rec~rds
of the Department of the Treasury (RG 56)
The Department of Treasury was chiefly responsible during World War II, as before the war, for
managing the financial affairs ofthe United States Government. AJI of its operations were greatly
expanded during the war, and several special functions were assigned to the Department in
connection with the war, such as the control of American assets owned by designated foreign
governments and nationals.
The Department's war-related activities were handled for the most part by its regular
organizational units, although special units were established, such as for the wartime control of
foreign funds.
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., who served as the Secretary ofthe Treasury throughout the war,took a
relatively active role in efforts to accomplish the return Axis looted assetS.408 On February 22,
1945, he issued the following declaration:
"'",!,..
On January 5, 1943, the United States and certain others ofthe United
Nations issued a warning to all concerned, and in particular to persons
in neutral countries, that they intend to do their utmost to defeat the
. methods of dispossession practiced by the government with which they
are at war against the countries and peoples who have been so wantonly
assaulted and despoiled.409 Furthermore, it has been announced many times
408 The Franklin D. Roosevelt Libr8l)' at Hyde Park, New York has cl.lSlOdy of the Henry Morgenthau, Jr.,
Diaries. These diaries contain information relating to a variety of subjects covered in this finding aid, including the Bank
for International Settlements, Bretton Woods, Chase National Bank, Laucblin Currie, the Currie Mission, Foreign Funds
Control, Intenational MonetaJ:y Conference, Samuel Klaus, Thomas H McKittrick, Postwar Planning, Orvis A Schmidt,
Switzerland, and Treaswy Representatives Abroad Researchers may find useful Henry Morgenthau, Germany Is Our

that one ofthe purposes of the financial and property controls of the
United States Government is to prevent the liquidation in the United States
of assets-looted by the Axis through duress and conquest.

One of the particular methods .of dispossession practiced by the Axis
powers had been the illegal seizure of large amounts of gold belonging to
the nations they have occupied and plundered. The Axis powers have
purported to sell such looted gold to various countries which continue to
maintain diplomatic and commercial relations with the Axis, such gold
thereby providing an important source offoreign exchange to the Axis
and enabling the Axis to obtain much-needed imports from these countries.
~.
'"

",
The United States Treasury has already taken measures designed to protect
the assets ofthe invaded countries and to prevent the Axis from disposing
oflooted currencies, and other looted assets on the world market.
Similarly, the United States Government cannot in any way condone the
policy of systematic plundering adopted by the Axis or participate in any
way directly or indirectly in the unlawful disposition oflooted gold.
/
In view ofthe foregoing facts and considerations, the United States
Government formally declares that it does not and will not recognize
the transference oftitle to the looted gold which the Axis at any time holds
or has disposed ofin world markets. It further declares that it will be the
policy ofthe United States Treasury not to buy any gold presently located
outside ofthe territorial1imits ofthe United States from any country which
after the date ofthis announcement acquires gold from any country which
has not broken relations with the Axis, unless and until the United States
Treasury is fully satisfied that such gold is not gold which was acquired
directly or indirectly from the Axis powers or is not gold which any such
country has been or is enabled to release as a result ofthe acquisition of
- gold directly or indirectly from the Axis powers. 409

409 The Inter-Allied Declaration Against Acts ofDisposse:ssion Committed in Territories Under Enemy or
Control stated that "The Union of South Africa, the United States of America, Australia, Belgimu, Canada, China, the
Czechoslovak Republic, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics, Greece, India, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, NOIWay, Poland, Yugoslavia, and the French
National Committee: Hereby issue a formal waraing to all concerned, and io particular to persons in neutral countries,
that they iotend to do their utmost to defeat the methods ofdispossession practiced by the governments with which they
are at war against the countries and peoples who have been so wantonly assaulted and despoil Accordingly the
governments making this declaration and the French National Committee reserve all their rights to declare invalid any
transfers of, or dealing with, property, rights and interests of any description whatsoever which are, or have been.

Records of Office of Foreign Assets Control (RG 265)
Midway in World War II it became apparent that the United States Government had incte!sing,.,
need for comprehensive financial information on American property interests in foreign countries;
particularly enemy and enemy-dominated nations, for purposes related to the so-called "freezing ~.
controls" administered by the Treasury Department, to military phases ofthe war, and to
preparations for peace negotiations.
The Foreign Funds Control (FFC), which had been established in the Office ofthe Secretary,
Treasury Department in April 1940, immediately after the invasion of Norway and Denmark by
Germany, and which in 1941 had taken a census offoreign assets in the United States was given
the responsibility for taking the so-called census ofAmerican-owned assets in foreign countries in
1943 to provide the needed data.
'
.
.
The taking ofthe census of American-owned assets in foreign countries was one ofthe many'
activities ofthe FFC in carrying out the responsibilities ofthe Secretary ofthe Treasury in the
financial warfare program of the United States Government. In the beginning the FFC was
responsible for placing restrictions on foreign exchange transactions, on the export or withdrawal:
of gold, silver, coin and currency, on transfers of credits, securities or any other evidences of
~
ownership or of indebtedness involving property of the countries or nationals of the countries that
had been invaded by the German and Russian armies. After the United States entered the war the
FFC was responsible for severing all financial and commercial intercourse between the United
States and any countries outside the Western hemisphere that directly or indirectly benefited the
Axis, for the prevention of all financial and commercial transactions between the United States
and any other American Republic that directly or indirectly benefited the Axis, and for stopping all
financial and commercial activity on the part of persons or corporations in the United States
whose influence or activity was deemed inimical to the security of the Western Hemisphere.
With the increase in its functions the FFC was formally established as a separate administrative
unit of the Department, with the status ofa bureau and with a director as its head, on September
11, 1942. It continued in that status until July 15, 1947, when its residual functions, personnel,
and records were transferred to the Treasury Department's Office ofInternational FinaDce, An'
Executive order of August 20, 1948, transferred responsibility for all pending work related to
foreign funds control to the Office ofAlien Property, Department of Justice. All records of the
FFC, excepting those described below and a few housekeeping records, were turned over to the
Office of Alien Property in October 1948. For descriptions of those records see the Records of
the Office of Alien Property (RG 131) in the Department ofJustice section ofthis finding aid.
In taking the census of American-owned assets in foreign countries, the FFC utilized the central

HovT the 'l'reasury can prevent infl,ov[s a:r).d. outflows of
gold f'rom a.irectlyaffecting the volume of excess re
serves'Vtith the use of the Stabilization FUnd.
There are several methods available to the Secretary of the
Treasury for sterilizing future inflows of gold, ~~d for neutralizing
the effect on excess reserves of future outflows of gold.
In the opinj.on of the group d,esir;nated to explore the poss i
bilities, the fo110i'Tinf; is the best of'the various plans suggested.•:
Consider first the handling oi' future inflows of gold~ ..
The .i..'1lportedsol:i will be purchusea by the 8tabilizut.iol1 Fund
and paid for out of t;le funds in the trSepreta...7' s Special i'.ccountl!
nOVT kept 'Vd.th the }'ederal Reserve Bank of" i·Tetv York•. The gold so
purCblSec. ";";i11 be transferred to the Treasury General Fuhd., in return
for which the II Secretary 1 s Spec ial ~1c count"".rill be credited with an '.
equi,ralent' surn,tra."1.sferred to it from the deposits of the Treasury
General Fund kept 1..'1 the Federal i.'(eserve Bank. The gold received from
the I1Secretary's Special Account!! by the. Treasury General li'und is to
be impounded in the General Fund •.
The TreasurJr General Fund will be replenished by the sale to the
:market of Treasury obligations. Qf desi.red, to begin .lith the Trea.sury
Genera.l .E'und kept with the }'ederal Reser.ve Bank can be replenished from
the special depo.sitary accounts kept in membe!" ba:tlks (at present. aggre- .
gating approximately $680 mil1ion)'j
'.
. '.'
' . ' .:
'.
The effect of the. inflows' of gold ~n the excess reserves of the·
monetary systan is thus neutralized. The incoming gold add'S to the
excess reserves when purchased by the Sto..bil~zation Fun.d C!Secretary' e
Special lj,ccountll)', but is reduced by an equivalent amount when the
Treasury replenishes ,its account in the federal' Reserve Ba.-11k by sale to
the market of Treasury bills of an equivalent wnount.
The replenisn.."nent of the General l"und in the Federal Reserve Bank
by sale of Treasury obligations to the market can take place once a
week, or once durL~b a longer period, depending upon the amount of
incoming gold and the general situation at. the t.i..~e. The frequency of
replenish."11ent is a flexible matter that can 'vary as judgment requires.
,/'
,.
.
The process involved in the' method described above requires the
following specific steps:

(1) The II sale ll or -t;rrll1sfer of a part of the gold now in the
."Secreta!"'J' s Special Account ll (of the Stabilization Fund). Inas
much as this account' consists almost entirely of gold now, it is
necessary to con-vert part of that gold into cash with vrh~ch to
pay for imported gold. .
(2) The Treasury General Fu..'I1d, in payment' for that gold,
,transfers to the C.C:COUllt of the !!Secretary's ,Special ~:,ccount!!
held vriththe Federe.l Reserve Bank of New York a sum equivalent
to the sold it receives from that acco~'I1t.
l'hesum tre.nsferreci by the 'i'reasury General Fund to
the 11 Secretary's Spec ial Account II .comes out of t!1e Treasury
General Tund on ,depos it ,'d th the Federal Ecsenr eBa...'1k of New York.
(3) The "Secretary's Special Account U purchases the imported
gold, payin£; for, it vdth funds, d:-awn by the Treasurer agalllst the
"SeCl'etary's Special Account" fund with the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York.
j!';

(4) The "Secretary's Special Lccount" sells tl1is gold (or a
;-reek's accumulation, if preferred) to the "Treasur;y General' Fund",
receivin~ 'inexchanr;e an equivalent runou~tplaced to its credit
with the Federal Reser-ve Bank of Hew York from. the "Treasury
General Fund ll with the Federal Reserve Ba..nk.
(5) The General Fund with the Federal Reserve Bank of EevI
York is then replenished by an equivalent sm.-ouilt ,lith the pro
ceeds, of sales of Treasury bills to the market. If the Secretary
prefers, the Treasury General Fund with the Federal Reserve BonJ..::
can be replenished to begin with not by se-les of Treasury obliga
tions but by transfers of funds froo the special depositary s.ccount
already existing to the General Fund account iidth the Federal
Reserve Bank.

Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States, formed in 1998, was charged with investigating what happened to the assets of victims of the Holocaust that ended up in the possession of the United States Federal government. The final report of the Commission, <a href="http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/pcha/PlunderRestitution.html/html/Home_Contents.html"> “Plunder and Restitution: Findings and Recommendations of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States and Staff Report"</a> was submitted to President Clinton in December 2000.</p>
<p>Chairman - Edgar Bronfman<br /> Executive Director - Kenneth Klothen</p>
<p>The collection consists of 19 series. The first fifteen series of the collection are composed mostly of photocopied federal records. These records were reproduced at the National Archives and Records Administration by commission members for their research.
