I can cover the liberal exemption rule in no more authentic way than to quote from an official leaflet that was published in connection with our program for aid to Europe, a leaflet entitled Tips for Your Trip.
"A maximum exemption of $500 may be claimed. You are entitled to free entry of up to $200 on personal and gift purchases abroad as often as you want. You are also entitled to an extra $300 exemption provided: 1. you have been out of the United States at least 12 days, and 2. you have not claimed a $300 exemption during the previous six months."
I must add a modifying footnote about the phrase "as often as you want," for you cannot actually claim even the $200 exemption oftener than once in 30 days.
Revolution followed in March 1854, and when he saw that his cause was lost Santa Anna fled from the capital (Aug. 9, 1855) and found refuge in Cuba.' Venezuela, and Saint Thomas. In this absence he was tried and condemned for treason, and his estates were confiscated. He returned to Mexico during the French occupation (1864), but was not permitted to remain. In 1867 he again returned, but was once more exiled and went to live in the United States. Finally, after the death of Juarez and the amnesty of 1874, he was permitted to reside in his own country, where his career ended in poverty and obscurity.
