Vice President Presi-dent Marshall, in an address here tonight before the Carlisle chamber of commerce, gave his views on some questions now under un-der discussion in connection wi1 h the peace conferences, prefacing his remarks with the explanation that he had no thought of endeavoring to affect President Presi-dent Wilson's negotiations. On the question of a world league or understanding to prevent war which, he said, all right thinking men agree is desirable, de-sirable, Mr. Marshall declared that until all men are of good will wars will not cease unless nations desire peace at any price, He said tlie allies nnd the United States could go very far toward promoting pro-moting peace, but predicted that unless reciprocal trado agreements are made between be-tween the? associated nations, existing cordial relations can not last. Urging extension of the Ameriean merchant marine, ma-rine, he voiced opposition to government ownership, but declared it prefcrablo to a ship subsidy. Speaks Generally. "It Ik farthest from my thoiicht upon this occasion to utter a single word whieh might in any manner be eons I mod as endeavoring en-deavoring to affect the negol la lions of t he president in Kurope," s;r the vh-o president, presi-dent, in opening his address.
