HAMBURG AMERICAN DEAL
WITH BAKER CONFIRMED
London Doubts, However, If
Proposed Company Would Be
Exempt from Canal Tolls.
nv Cable to The Tribune. I

London. Feb 25.-Inquiries in ship
ping circles confirm the statement that
the Hamburg American Company has
entered into an agreement with Ber-
nard y. Baker, of Baltimore, for the
forma ton of an American shipping cor
poraton which will be partly owned by
the Hamburg American Company and
will engage in American coastal trade
between Atlantic and Pacific ports via
Tie Panama Canal.
The suggestion that this will be in it
self an infringement of the antitrust
law is not seriously entertained In GER
tain shipping quarters in London I'M
less the antitrust law is interpreted in
such d way as to apply to the whole
foreign owned Atlantic companies
which ere parties 10 the Atlantic pool
ing arrangement. In such case this
law might also be held to extend to the
projected Baker line.
Ii was explained to THE Morning
Post" representative that the purpose
or forming sucn CoIilPdlis 90 '''-
suggested would be to secure for the
ships of the new company the peneht
Of exemption from the tolls to be I'M
posed on foreign ships using the Pan
anna Canal. but it was said by one
authority who was consulted in the
matter that it would not necessarily
follow that foreign companies WOULD
be able to evade canal tolls by acquir-
ing the controlling interest in the So
called American coastal line worked III
conjunction with a foreign owned At
lan:ic company.
The coastal line would be in Fact
merely the extension Of the Atlantic
service. and this is probably the view
which the American courts would take
of the matter. In that case, If IT Is
held that the majority Of the North
Atlantic companies are members Of the
trust, then these subsidiary so-called
coastal companies may be held to lie
part of the larger trust, and therefore
free canal tolls would be denied them.
