Jurisdiction In International Application Of United States Antitrust Laws, Hiroshi Fukuda

Cleveland State Law Review

However, the trend to apply United States antitrust laws to international trade agreements has given rise to another important question, namely the jurisdictional problem of antitrust laws. Many people, both in this country and abroad, criticized this trend as an abuse of power and invasion of foreign sovereignty. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to analyze the underlying theories of jurisdiction with respect to antitrust laws and to discover the existing jurisdictional limitations imposed by the courts on themselves.

The Western Hemisphere Trade Corporation:A Functional Perspective, Leo J. Raskind

Vanderbilt Law Review

Among the statutory forms available for the conduct of foreign operations the Western Hemisphere Trade Corporation, traditionally the Cinderella of the Internal Revenue Code, has been reoriented by the new provisions of the Revenue Act of 1962. Unlike its story-book counterpart, however, the Western Hemisphere Trade Corporation does not emerge in a state of new magnificence. The new act,by curtailing, but not eliminating, the deferral of taxation on earnings retained abroad by United States controlled foreign subsidiaries, has initiated a process of review and of reorganization of the tax planning of foreign operations. Since the new statutory provisions affect existing …

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 …

International Cooperation In The Peaceful Uses Of Atomic Energy, David F. Cavers

Vanderbilt Law Review

Today cooperation in the peaceful uses of atomic energy is occurring under bilateral agreements between the major atomic powers--the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union--and many other nations. Schemes of cooperation on a regional basis are well advanced in Europe and are emerging elsewhere. A new international agency with an almost world-wide constituency, Communist China being the chief omission, has come into being. After a three-year interval, the second of two great international conferences for the exchange of knowledge concerning nuclear fission and thermonuclear fusion was held in Geneva in the past summer. At Geneva, American scientists …

International Trade And Economic Expansion, Jagdish N. Bhagwati

Faculty Scholarship

The recent literature on the effects of economic expansion on international trade has been concerned with two principal problems: the impact of the expansion on the terms of trade; and the resultant change in the welfare of the trading nations. The solutions offered, however, are not fully satisfactory. Thus H. G. Johnson [5) and W. M. Corden [3], who attempt to tackle the first problem, succeed only in establishing the direction, as distinct from the extent, of the consequential shift in the terms of trade. In so far as the full impact of the expansion on the terms of trade …

Protectionism And The Future Of International Shipping, Ted Lynn Mcdorman

Dalhousie Law Journal

It is Dr. Ademuni-Odeke's view that international shipping is "an industry in decline" and "in a mess" principally because of the abuse of national policies designed to give preference to national fleets or protect national fleets from international competition. The desire of nontraditional maritime nations to establish national merchant marines utilizing preference or protectionist policies has led to a confrontation with traditional maritime nations who espouse liberal economic principles, yet practice the same protectionist policies. The United States is the classic example of a maritime state which utilizes the full array of protectionist policies (flag preference, flag discrimination, state intervention, …

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 …

Plaintiff brought suit to enjoin the collection of a state tax on intangibles consisting of stocks held by plaintiff in domesticated foreign corporations. The lower court enjoined the defendant, a county treasurer, from collecting the tax. On appeal, held, reversed, three judges dissenting.

That Pierced Veil-Friendly Stockholders And Enemy Corporations, Norman S. Fink

Michigan Law Review

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 …

A Tariff Primer, Stanley J. Emerling

Cleveland State Law Review

It is evident from the examination of these cases that the proponents of a tariff policy are well supported by Constitutional authority and logic depending on the time and necessity of the situation. Economically also there are many instances in which a reduction in or denial of tariff policy would be to the detriment of our country. The only point worth taking in summary of this complex problem is the fact that a mere permissive use of a tariff doesn't necessarily mean that the country's best interests are always served by a too rigid application of such measures. The reciprocal …

The Western Hemisphere Trading Corporation; In Outline, Samuel Laderman

Cleveland State Law Review

One of the last frontiers of effective tax reduction exists in the exporting field. This device was specifically created by Congress to enable American corporations trading in foreign countries within the Western Hemisphere to compete with foreign corporations and has been approved by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. There is no federal law providing for the incorporation of Western Hemisphere Trade Corporations. The corporations are organized under applicable state law and qualify as Western Hemisphere Trade Corporations.

Trade Regulations-Deceptive Practices, Earl R. Boonstra

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 …

The International Bank For Reconstruction And Development--A New Departure In International Finance, Robert L. Garner

Vanderbilt Law Review

Early in World War II, financial and economic experts of the Allied Nations concluded that if economic health was to return with the peace, the family of nations would have to forego the bad economic manners which had become commonplace between the wars. The conviction that a new and better economic household for the world had to be planned resulted in the United Nations Monetary and Financial Conference at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in July, 1944, in which representatives of 44 nations participated.

The Conference met to solve two major problems. The first of these grew out of the chaotic …

"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 …
