IIWKV KKI'TKKN AGAIN TO QI1T
(Continued From Page One)
declared thai the president is determ
ined to end dissension between ship
ping hoard commissioners.
Mr. Coolidge thinks It has been
-diown that some . members of the
hoard are not in harmony with, his
merchant marine policy, and his ef
forts to promote efficiency and econ
omy in government. On the whole he
realizes, however, that the board has
shown a tendency to co-operate with
him and he believes the situation will
improve materially from now on.
No New Plan Proposed.
It was stated that the president has
in mind no new plan of handling the
government merchant marine and
would not resort to a change In policy
affecting the shipping board unless
forced to do so by the hoard Itself.
It was the president's understand
ing with board members, it was de
clared, that ' they 'Were to go ahead
with the operation plan he approved
and t hat meanwhile the executives
would make no effort to press for
legislation changing the status of the
hoard.
In regard to the merchant marine,
it was reiterated thai the president
believes it should 'be maintained with
a view to providing fur national de
fense and for benefiting the country.
It was pointed out that the presi
dent was of the belief that the gov
ernment fleet should be transferred lo
private ownership as soon as practic
able and for this reason had sup
ported I 'resident Palmer of the
Fmorgency Fleet corporation in his
efforts to sell ships to private owners.
The shipping problem is a difficult
one. Die president realizes, chiefly he
cause It is a losing enterprise so far
as the American government Is con
cerned. This fact, he believes, makes
those directing the shipping policy
subject to almost continual criticism,
en courages (plat riding bet ween those
in charge and increases the tendency
to shift blame.
