HURLEYS STATEMENT
Says Purpose of Fleet Is Not to Conquer Trade, but to Win the Pres
 ent War.

WASHINGTON, Aug 23.-German propaganda designed to cause dis sention among the Allies with stor- ies that the United States will make use of it's enormous fleet of trans ports and ships for trade conquests after the war, is the subject of a statement issued by Director Hurley of the Federal Shipping Board today.
 He declared that every Nation lined up against autocracy could be depended upon to detect the source of these suggestions.
 MT. Hurley said that the United States in building her merchant mar inc fleet plans first to win the war, and later to overcome her own ne glect by providing ocean transports tion for her own. trade.
 Many consider it rather signifi- cant that German writers are admit ting the success of the United States in building up great fleet after the persistent attempts to convince the German public that German sub marines were accounting for so many Allied vessels.
