A Senate subcommittee today
heard arguments for and against
q proposed United Nations
agreement to curb cartels and
other restrictive business prac-
tice in international trade.
The conflicting testimony was
developed before the Antitrust
Subcommittee headed by Sena-
tore Kilgore, Democrat Of West
Virginia, as he began a study of
how existing antitrust laws dis

David c. Murchison. until re-
Gently q consultant to the Fed

the plan drawn up by a United
Nations committee on the
ground that a few countries have
antitrust laws like the United
States. He said it would, there
fore. have little or no application
to a majority of the proposed
signatory nations.
Discrimination Feared
Mr.. Murchison also contended
the proposed agreement would
discriminate in favor of public
enterprises and practices re-
quired by governments as
against private enterprise.
The case for the proposed U. N.
agreement was presented by Sig
mund Timberg. Washington
attorney who formerly served in
the antitrust division of the
Justice Department. He was
secretary of the U. N. committee
which drew up the plan for in

restrictive business practices.

Economic and Social Council in
the need for a covenant on in
ternational trade.
Position Reversed
But Mr.. Murchison pointed out
that this year the American dele
gates to the U. N. Council re-
versed this country's position. AS
a result, he said. a resolution
adopted last May did not ap-
prove the proposed plan. In
stead, the Council adopted a res
olution making it clear that COM
parable legal and economic sys-
TENS must exist before machin-
cry of this type can be effective.
It called only for exchange of
information between countries.
Mr.. Timberg, in defending the
proposed international agree
ment, said there were only two
"insubstantial" differences in the
treatment accorded public and
private enterprises.
He argued that the original
favorable attitude Of the United
States toward the idea created
incentive for other nations to
adopt laws curbing restrictive
business practices. The position
later taken by the State Depart
|ment will discourage this trend
and hamper this country's for
eign trade policy, he said.
Stresses Sherman Act
Mr.. Murchison told the sub
committee that if other nations
had laws patterned after the
Sherman Antitrust Act and
would discard state control Of
commercial enterprises. the
United States should subscribe
to such a proposed agreement.
But he said this "utopian state
of being is unfortunately far
from realization"
In an opening statement
Chairman Kilgore said all United
States agencies are opposed to
any general exemption of for
Ieign trade from the antitrust
laws. But he said their sepa-
rate reports call attention tc
some conflict of congressional
policies which should be clari-
fled if possible.
Senator Kilgore mentioned the
Webb -Pomerene Act of 1918
which exempts from antitrust
laws all associations entered into
for the sole purpose Of engaging
lin export trade. He said this
law has been criticized as spul
to international cartels. At the
same time. he said. associations
formed under this law may in
Iclude small as well as large
companies and thereby helr
small business to deal with COM
Ibinations authorized under for
Ieign law.
