The General Agreement On Tariffs And Trade In United States Domestic Law, John H. Jackson
The General Agreement On Tariffs And Trade In United States Domestic Law, John H. Jackson
Michigan Law Review
This article will undertake a two-step analysis. First, in Part II, the question whether GATT is legally a part of United States domestic law will be examined. Then, assuming GATT is part of this law, Part III will examine the extent of GATT's domestic law effect and its general relationship to other law, both federal and state. The chosen focus of this article thus excludes treatment of substantive obligations under specific GATT clauses. It also excludes intensive development of the myriad details of the scope of executive authority to negotiate particular trade concessions under legislation such as the Trade Expansion …
The Antidumping Act And The Future Of East-West Trade, Peter Buck Feller
The Antidumping Act And The Future Of East-West Trade, Peter Buck Feller
Michigan Law Review
Because of the peculiarities of price formation in Communist countries, both with regard to export commodities and those intended for domestic consumption, the applicability of traditional antidumping concepts to communist price discrimination, and the usefulness of the Antidumping Act of 1921 in coping with it, are questions which should be examined and resolved before moves toward freer trade between East and West reach full stride. The essence of the problem was captured in a 1963 statement by the then Senator Humphrey: "The present act is ineffective in preventing dumping from communist countries, which can control their home prices by state …
Non-Tariff Import Restrictions: Remedies Available In United States Law, Craig Mathews
Non-Tariff Import Restrictions: Remedies Available In United States Law, Craig Mathews
Michigan Law Review
Since World War II, a fundamental objective of the foreign policy of the United States has been to strengthen political and economic relationships among free-world nations. An integral element of this policy has been the expansion of international trade on mutually beneficial terms. The legal and practical problems of reducing or eliminating restrictions on the international movement of commodities have therefore assumed a major importance.
International commodity transactions have traditionally been subject to a wide range of such restrictions. In the case of imports, the most familiar barriers are tariffs and formal quotas or embargoes imposed by national governments. In …
The Extraterritorial Effect Of Foreign Exchange Control Laws, F. David Trickey
The Extraterritorial Effect Of Foreign Exchange Control Laws, F. David Trickey
Michigan Law Review
Article VIII section 2(b) of the International Monetary Fund Articles of Agreement makes "exchange contracts" which are contrary to approved foreign exchange regulations of members "unenforceable" and provides that member nations may further agree upon measures to enforce each other's foreign exchange laws. The recent New York Court of Appeals decision in Banco do Brasil, S.A. v. A. C. Israel Commodity Co. illustrates the serious shortcomings of IMF provisions for enforcing foreign exchange controls. The case also suggests that general conflict of laws rules can be used to effectuate the policies underlying exchange control laws.
The Antidumping Act: Its Administration And Place In American Trade Policy, James A. Kohn
The Antidumping Act: Its Administration And Place In American Trade Policy, James A. Kohn
Michigan Law Review
It has now been forty years since the present Antidumping Act was passed. During that period certain administrative interpretations and procedures have developed. This discussion will not attempt a general exposition of the act, but rather will examine key terms which are not defined by the act itself, the administrative decisions interpreting these terms, and the soundness of these decisions when tested against the purposes of the act. In analyzing these decisions, not only the factors that influenced the original passage of the act must be considered, but also the events which have occurred since the passage of the act …

The Antitrust Laws In Foregin Commerce, Robert A. Nitschke
The Antitrust Laws In Foregin Commerce, Robert A. Nitschke
Michigan Law Review
The Sherman Act applies to trade or commerce "with foreign nations." Are there differences in the act's application to foreign trade compared with its application to domestic commerce? The Attorney General's National Committee to Study the Antitrust Laws was constituted at a time when this question was pressing for an answer.
During the 1920's and 1930's, the international cartel movement was in full Hood. American companies participated in some of these international arrangements, often in the belief that they were a necessary condition for world trade and upon the legal premise that restrictions adjunctive to patent and know-how licenses were …

Consider, if you will, the position of Mr. A, an ordinary resident of Suburbia, Long Island, New York, U.S.A., who on the advice of his stock broker that he has an opportunity to buy a "growth" stock, invests $5,000 in 100 shares of X company, organized under the laws of Switzerland. The World erupts into another tragic war and Mr. A receives peremptory demand from his government to turn over his shares to it. He learns that his investment gives aid and comfort to the enemy since X company, apparently a non-belligerent enterprise in a neutral country, is alleged …

Petitioner, an importer, distributed catalogs among some 25,000 retailers describing his porcelain line as follows: "IMPORTED Hand Decorated 'Du Barry' Porcelain," and " 'Du BARRY' Porcelain table lamps are nationally famous as reproductions of rare, original French and English 'old pieces.'" The Federal Trade Commission found that the advertising impliedly represented that the origin was French or British, whereas the products were made in Japan. A cease and desist order was issued prohibiting use of the legend, "Imported-Du Barry,'' or any other legend suggesting French origin, without clearly disclosing the fact of import from Japan. Held, affirmed. The order …

"Enemy" Under The Trading With The Enemy Act And Some Problems Of International Law, Samuel Anatole Lourie
Michigan Law Review
When the United States entered this war and even before, it was evident that the measures and definitions of the Trading with the Enemy Act of October 6, 1917, were obsolete instruments with which to cope, in economic and psychological warfare, with such dangerous enemies as the Axis, particularly Germany. Germany's preparations and planning for the war date back two decades, but took on intensified and conspicuous form only after the access of the Nazis to power.
In all types of warfare numerous weapons, devices and means are openly or secretly used. "Camouflage" is not the exclusive domain of military …

Foreign Exchange Restrictions And Public Policy In The Conflict Of Laws, Evsey S. Rashba

Treaties-Effect Of War On Commercial Treaties

The Sophie Rickmers, a German merchant vessel registered at Hamburg and owned by a German corporation with principal place of business there, entered New York Sept. 27, 1921. Upon its entry a tonnage duty of fifty cents per ton was collected under U. S. Rev. Stat. sec. 4219 as amended by 19 Stat. 250 (46 U. S. C. A. 121), and sec. ,4225 (46 U. S. C. A. 128), in addition to the six-cent tonnage duty under 36 Stat. 111 (46 U. S. C. A. 121). The treaty of the United States made in 1827 with the Hanseatic Republics, 1 …

Treaties-State Successsion-Effect On Commercial Treaties And Reciprocity Statutes
Michigan Law Review
In a suit to recover alleged excessive tonnage duties the court held that the commercial treaties made by the United States with the Hanseatic Republics in 1827 (1 Malloy 901), and with Prussia in 1828 (2 Malloy 1496), were still valid and effective to exempt a vessel from duties that were imposed in 1921; but that U. S. Rev. Stat. sec. 4229-30 and 4 Stat. 2, exempting Prussian vessels from these taxes, were no longer operative. For facts, see note supra. The Sophie Rickmers, 45 F.(2d) 413.

Carriers - Second Cummins Amendment - It was seven years after the Carmack Amendment of the Hepburn Act of i9o6 before the Supreme Court began that series of decisions, extending from Adams Express Co. v. Croninger, 226 U. S. 491 (1913), to George N. Pierce Co. v. Wells, Fargo & Co., 236 U. S. 278 (1915), which directly resulted in the First Cummins Amendment of March, 1915. One has only to read those cases, reviewed in 13 Micn. L. REv. 59o, and other notes referred to in 17 MICH. L. Rzv. 183, to see that the language of the Cummins …

What does a judge do when he decides a case? It would be interesting to collect the answers ranging from those furnished by primitive systems of law in which the judge was supposed to consult the gods to the ultra-modern, rather profane system described to me recently by a retrospective judge: "I make up my mind which way the case ought to be decided, and then I see if I can't get some legal ground to make it stick." Perhaps the widespread impression is the curiously erroneous one lampooned by Gnaeus Flavius (Kantorowitz). The judge is supposed to sit at …

Rights Of A Traveler To Use Here Articles Made And Purchased Abroad But Patented Here, Dwight B. Cheever
Michigan Law Review
The question to be answered by this paper is whether or not when an American citizen goes abroad and purchases there from a manufacturer in any foreign country any article whatsoever be it wearing apparel or an automobile which is patented in this country has such a purchaser the right to bring that article into this country and to use it in this country without paying tribute to the American patentee or his assignee. As to small articles the question is of course unimportant, for no one would think of going to the expense of a suit over the use …
