TO PROTECT SAILORS FROM
 NEW Y0Rk'S UNDERWORLD

New York, Dec. 20.-Means by wh;All soldiers and sailors can be protected from a reception committed organ ized by the underworld to take from them their wages and savings during the review here next week of the American battle fleet were formulated here today. The subject was consid- cred at a conference between repre- sentatives of the provost marshaPs of fee, the army sanitary corps, naval reserve corps, the law enforcement di- vision of the army and the district at torney's office.
 This protection, according to an an- nouncement tonight by Alfred J. Tal- ley, assistant district attorney, is par ticularly for the 35,O00 sailors of the fleet, sbut will be extended to all men in uniform visiting the city during the military pageant. "Men and women thieves have been mobilized," he declared, ito see that no soldier or sailor with money es- capes." It is estimated that the sail ors of the fleet will have with them an aggregate of nearly $7,000, 900. Thousands of naval and military police will be on guard, being station ed wherever the men are likely to con- gregate in numbers.

 Stating that commercial disputes breed wars, AIr. Marshall continued:
 T have, of course, no means of knowing what the representatives of the allied governments may be willing to take up with the American people at the peace table but venture the assertion that the good will which now exists between the allied govern ments and our own will not last five years unless reciprocal trade relations, fixed in justice. are arranged between us. Peoples learn slowly and soon forget.
 The theory that men are going to deal justly with each other regardless of law to punish injustice is a mil lennial dream. Che allies and Amer ica, by reciprocal trade relations and by the right of power and duty to cut off commercial transactions with any people on earth that proposes to dis | turb the peace of the world, can SC very far toward promoting that peace which we all just now so sincerely de- 1 sire.
 Without knowledge. I express the ] fope that we will not let go by this
 opportune time for removing what will undoubtedly be a source of fric- ton III the Iulure unleSS Q6dll WlIa speedily and justly.
 "If no equitable adjustment of the 1 business of the world shall be made then, as business men who are deeply | interested in the commerce of Amer l ica, you realize as we'll as I do that it's weakness in the past has been the lack of ships upon the sea. Each of us knows that one of the
 reasons for that lack has been the
 way in which we have insisted that
 our ships be manned.

 hope that, by international agree
 ment, it may become the Jaw of the
 sea for all seagoing powers. But, fl | it does not, then we are confronted with three propositions; either to re- peal the law or to subsidize shipping
 or to have governmental control of our merchant marine, conveying the produce of our merchants to foreign
 shores without any profit to the gov ernment of the United States.
 Inherently opposed to government ownership, I should, nevertheless, in-
 finitely prefer it to substituting private lines. This question is one that de
 serves your careful study and the very best of your honest judgment"
