URGES PROTECTION
OF FOREIGN TRADE.
Admiral Rodgers Holds U. S.
Must Safeguard Interests
in Other Nations.

American business men who invest
| money abroad under concessions prop
erly obtained from foreign govern
ments, should be accorded diplomatic
protection, as we'll as American tour
lists, Rear Admiral William Led
yard Rodgers, U. S. n, re-
tired, told meeting of the
Anti-Monopoly League at the Raleigh
Hotel yesterday. He defended the
policy of the State Department with
regard to foreign concessions and op-
posed a resolution for an investiga-
tion by the Senate Of this policy,
which Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana, reputedly is expected to in
troduce.
international concessions are mere
ly business bargains whose justifica-
ton is to be found in mutual ad-
vantage" said Admiral Rodgers.
'"This country depends for its prosper
ity on foreign trade. In that general
prosperity every one in the country
has a stake. The business men who
go abroad and take up concessions
and invest capital are a part Of the
business system of the country.
",rhe whole world is an economic
unit, in which the great manufacture
ing nations are competing Ior trade,
and in this competition we must keep
our place. The rest of the world be-
lieves in relying upon force in the
background of all diplomatic effort.
For the United States to adopt another
attitude in present conditions of civili-
zation would mean decadence and
ruin"
Frederick J. Libby, secretary Of the
National Council for Prevention Of
War, took issue with Admiral Rodgers,
insisting that the imperialistic policy
which the United States has pursued
toward Latin America is condemned by
the basic principles on which free gov
ernment is founded, and by the ideals
which our founders proclaimed to
mankind"
The meeting was opened by Benja-
min c. Marsh, executive secretary Of
the Anti-Monopoly League, whose
name was recently changed from the
Peoples Reconstruction League.

CITY TRAFFIC ORDINANCE
HELD NEED BY HOOVER
Uniform Laws May Be Solution of
Problem, Secretary Tells
U. S. Chamber.

Development of municipal traffic
ordinance is the first step to be taken
toward solving the growing problems
of municipal traffic, Secretary Hoover
said yesterday before a meeting Of the
committee on municipal traffic ordi-
nances and regulations at the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States.
The committee is endeavoring to de-
velop a model municipal traffic ordi-
nance TO apply to all cities.
A tentative report submitted to the
committee today suggested that the
traffic problem is intensified by made
quate street areas. "Urban transpor-
tation," The report points out, has
reached such volume and compleXity
as to impede free movement of Vehi-
cles and pedestrians. This congestion
occasions an important economic loss"
Provisions of the model traffic law
being worked out will include all
phases of handling traffic by munich

CHICAGO, December 10.-Balked
for weeks by the elements, bride
groom who raced halfway around the
world by land, sea and air arrived in
Chicago to meet his fiancee, who
informed him their wedding had been
postponed until today.
Forsythe Sherfesee, financial ad-
wiser to the Chinese government at
Peking, completed the last lap of his
journey when he stepped from an air
plane at the municipal field last night,
Just hours after the time scheduled
for his wedding to Mrs. Emily Borie
Rverson of Chicago. Mrs. Ryerson is
the widow Of Arthur Ryerson, the
wealthy steel man, who lost his life
when the Titanic sank.
A storm on the Pacific soon after
he left Yokohama, Japan, delayed the
arrival Of Mr.. Sherfesee's ship at van
couver, British Columbia, two days. A
record snowfall in the Rockies neces-
STATED a rerouting of his train to st.
Paul. Mimi, and set his schedule back
several hours further.
Determined that the wedding should
be held as planned if humanity pos
sible, Mrs. Eyerson chartered plane
to fly to st. Paul, pick up the bride
groom and bring him here.
But it was a losing battle with the
elements, for again strong headwinds.
snoWbound roads and bitter cold
Weather cost many valuable hours.
When it was learned the plane could
not possibly arrive in time, Mrs. Ryer-
son attended a scheduled reception,
although informally. and announced
the marriage would be celebrated
today.
Arriving in st. Paul Sherfesee was
met by pilots of the plane, who told
him of the plan to fly to Chicago.
