IWashington, May 29.—A plan for disposing of the battleships Idaho and Mississippi to a foreign ‘power for just what the United States paid for their construction was laid before the senate naval affairs committee by Secretary Daniels. . Greece is understood to be nego- tiating for the vessels. The United -States never ‘has sold battleships' to a foreign power, al- though it has condemned them and afterward sold them without arma- ment. The ships have been in commission since 1908. The Mississippi cost $5,- 832,000 and the Idaho $5,894,000. Secretary Daniels asked for an amendment to the naval bill permit- ting the sale and providing that the money be used in the construction cof one dreadnought in addition to the two dreadnoughts already provided for in the bill as passed the house. Could Practice Economy. Secretary Daniels explained to the committee that although he expected to get about $12,000,000 for the two ships he would be able to make up the $14,000,000 needed for a ‘mew dreadnought by economy in other lines. He said that the Idaho and Mississippi are efficient ships for har- bor defense, but not modern enough to go into line of battle. Although the name of the nation negotiating for the purchase was kept closely guarded it was said Greece i8 anxious to put her navy more nearly on a footing with Turkey, which re- cently bought a new dreadnought built for Brazi! in an English ship- yard. The proposal for the purchase came from Greece. Mr. Daniels’ proposal met with the approval of a majority of the commit- tee and an amendment embodying the plan was prepared for presentation to the senate.
