Mr.. Hartman summarizes the pro-
visions of the contracts as follows:
"The American company pays no
money to the Hamburg Line except for
service actually rendered to the Ameri-
can Company by the Hamburg Line.
THE contract gives to the American
Company the use of the facilities, ex-
periencc, and established trade routes
of the Hamburg-American Line.
During the twenty years of the
contract, the American Company has
complete control of all activities of
the Hamburg Line in the United
States.
"The contract gives the American
company the right to participate in
90 per cent of all business originated
in Hamburg by the most important
shipping agency in Germany. Without
this contract the American company
would have no right whatever to par
tlclpate in that business
The American company assumes
but one definite obligation, namely, to
act as agent in American ports for the
Hamburg Line. In all other respects
the American company shall put its
money and effort only in directions
which appear to it to be profitable.
IF the contract were not made with
an American company, it could be
made with a company Of some other
country.

may withdraw from any service in case

that this might operate 20 4hc disad-

"Ihe Shipping Board has not yet
