SEATTLE, Wn., June 25.-(P)- Leigh c. Palmer told the National Foreign Trade Council that when he became president of the United States Fleet Corporation, he found it suffering from too much easy money. Instead of getting down to real business, and trying to come somewhere near living within it's income, it was depending unduly upon the National Treasury"
 He said that the appropriation, which was cut this year to S30,00O,- 900 from s43,0OO,O00 as in the pre- vious budget will be $24,000,00O for the fiscal year beginning next month; $1S,00O,000 the following fiscal year, and i've will continue the policy of reducing operating losses with i'm provement in service, while the country is endeavoring to arrive at Ia constructive policy in the matter of merchant marine as a whole"
 
 He also said that the "country faces three possibilities in respect ing the merchant marine in the for eign trade, namely, first: The con tinual Government operations costing about s4O,OOO,OOO annually, and third, the gradual, but certain dis appearance of our flag from interna- tional trade route, and the return to pre-war vessels"
 He advocated a steady transfer of vessels to private ownership, with the Government continuing to operate lines as an essential interest, but unattractive to private capital.
