Plunkett Says Sailors and
 Landsmen Never Agree

New York, Feb. ! R-An Ameri- can merchant marine was advocated yesterday by Rear Admiral Charles P. Plunkett ''as an absolute necess- ity" to the country.
 Speaking before the Chamber of Commerce of the state of New York the admiral. who will retire Feb. IS at the age of 64, said he was "a It. tie handicapped" because of . reso- lution adopted by the organization approving the message of President Coolidge advocating the sale of gov ernment owned ships to private in terests.
 And I cannot. while I am on the active list," he said. publicly ex- press any views which are different from those of tho splendid. fine American who Is now the president of the United States. ......
 But l am a sailor and he is landsman, and have yet to find q time when the sailors and the lands men entirely agree. They have al- ways had differences of opinion in regard to matters affecting the sea. not the land."
