those firms who have replied to the circular from the Committee,
it appears that of the British Firms who have responded not
only has no question been raised against the various Shipping
Conferences in existence but in many cases unqualified approval
is expressed on the subject.
Both from a Merchant's and Ship-owner's
point of view, (and as will be seen some firms represent both
interests) it is claimed that trade has benefitted by the
Conferences owing to the manner in which they have been carried
out. Ample tonnage to meet all requirements of trade, level
and reasonable rates, regular service, better handling of goods
and few losses. One of the replies is qualified by the remark
that the Conference is beneficial to merchants as well as
Shipping Agents "so long as there are no illicit rebates and
returns made" but there has been no suggestion that such illi-
cit returns have been paid.
Another answer is to the effect that
shipping combinations have not tended to fetter traders but on
the contrary secure them equal facilities for competing on fair
and level terms.
It is only when we come to the non-British
firms that any dissentient voice is raised against the existence
of Shipping Conferences. Of these, two come from German firms
and one from a Japanese firm.

It appears desirable to quote these in full
"The firm deals with the Conference Lines
"in the matter of receiving and shipping cargo
"and that the Conference maintains a uniform
rate of freight. The Conference Lines grant
rebates to shippers who confine the business to
"their lines. We are of opinion rates would be
"more favourable to shippers if free competition
"existed among the Shipping Companies".
