By, the Associated Press.
means of coping with the foreign
governmental monopolies In rubber.
sisal and potash is believed by the
House judiciary committee to have been
worked out in the Newton bill to per-
nit the formation of American buying
pools.
The majority report of the committee
in reporting the bill TO the House said
Yesterday that the bill is designed in
its ultimate effect to benefit the Amer
ican consumer.
AT present" 1t said. American i'm
porters Of the products in question are
at the mercy of these alien government
monopolies. which may maintain prices
at arbitrarily high levels. and the
American public must pay the increase
which is passed on In the price of the
finished article"
The report added that the bill did
not change the provisions of the Webb
Pomerene act. which 1t amends, in its
export trade aspects.
The legislation Is designed to meet
an acute situation affecting the inn
port trade Of the country" the report
said. During the last five years the
country has witnessed the development
by certain foreign nations of govern
ment controlled and operated mo-
nopolies dealing in products. notably
in rubber. potash and sisal for which
this country depends largely. and in
some instances wholly, upon importa-
tons for its supply"
