Declares Any Attempt to Dissolve Trust Would
 Cripple Trade
WRITTEN OR FORMAL
 AGREEMENTS RARE
Committee Recommends Both Foreign and Domestic Shipping COmbina- tions Be Placed Under Control of
 the Commerce Commission

Washington, March 1-Foreign and do- mestie shipping of the United States is go combined by agreements, pools and conference arrangements that an attempt to dissolve the combinations would crip- pie trade. This is the conclusion reached by the House merchant marine and fish cries committee in n final report of the so-called shipping trust investigation, made public today.
 The committee. after two years of ex- haustive inquiry recommends that both foreign and domestic shipping combina- tions be placed under the strict control of the interstate commerce commission and that if necessary the commission be enlarged to care for the additional work. Tho final recommendations of the com mittee. embodied In the fourteenth vol ume of it's report just compiled, sets forth that shipping lines in virtually ev. cry trade route from or to United States ports are operated by agreement or con ference to restrain competition. The re- port declares that the advantages ac- cruing to both shipper and ship lines through these agreements are so great that combinations should be allowed to continue, under the supervision of the interstate commerce commission as to iates, classification, rebates and diserm- ination. It would be futile, the commit tee states that the attempt to restore competition by ordering agreements ter minated.
 The report deals with 800 foreign and domestic navigation companies and 200 railroad lines.
 Committees Findings
 In statement summarizing the com rnittee's findings and recommendation, Chairman Alexander said:- .s.tt
 "Relative to the foreign trade. the re- port shows that it is the almost unl- versal practice for steamship lines, both on the inbound and outbound voyage, to operate under agreements and conference arrangements which have for. their pur- pose the control of competition between the conference lines or between them and nonconforcnce lines. Eighty agreements ar understandings, involving nearly all the regular lines operating on nearly every American foreign trade route, are in effect, dealing respectively with the traffic through and from Europe. Africa. Australia. Asia, South America. Mexico Central America and the West 'Indies In the few instances where several lines served the same trade and denied the existence of cooperative arrangements. it appears that one llne was sufficiently powerful to dominate the other lines and.
