References in Text
This subchapter, referred to in subsec. (b), was in the original “this title” and has been translated as if the reference was to “this Act” to reflect the probable intent of Congress inasmuch as the act of Mar. 4, 1927, was not divided into titles. Codification Section was formerly classified to section 471b of Title 48, Territories and Insular Possessions.
