To: The Chief of Engineers, United States Army. I. There is transmitted herewith report on the subject of ‘For- eign Trade Zones or Free Ports” prepared under authority of section 500 of the transportation act of 1920 and section 8 of the merchant marine act, 1920, by the joint forces of this office and the Bureau of Operations, United States Shipping Board, under the supervision of Mr. A. H. Ritter, who is in immediate charge of the cooperative work. 2. Information regarding the principal free ports of the world and their influence upon the commerce, industry, and shipping of the countries to which they pertain has not heretofore been available in such form that the experiences of these countries could be analyzed in connection with the consideration of the general subject of estab- lishing free ports or foreign trade zones in the United States. 3. On account of the interest now being manifested in this subject, and especially because of its bearing upon the matters entrusted to this department and the Shipping Board under the terms of the acts mentioned above and other acts of Congress, it is believed that the report should be printed. It is recommended that it be forwarded to the Shipping Board to be published as Miscellaneous Series No. 3. For the board: Dawn I. Surran, Magor, Corps of Engineers, Resident Member of the Board.
