SHIP COMBINES NOT BARRED New York Testimony Endorses German Line Agreements
In New York the government pressed that combinations of shipping lines be barred but a test case before the North Atlantic conference introduced testimony to show such lines could operate legally. Assistant U S Attorney Culver objected to the line of evidence, arguing German rulings could not affect American courts. Paul Schnitler, a former district attorney on the appellate bench in German courts, testified, and German court decisions were cited to support that an agreement by North German line associations years ago was permitted to stand.
