Alternative Proposed

Chairman Payne said If Congress de-
sired to change this policy to public
ownership of ships the passenger liners
should not be sold and Congress should
direct the board to spend the $75 900, :

600 estimated as necessary to convert
them from troop to passenger vessels.
Payne said passenger ships were
scarce now and building prices high,
but that these conditions might change
and the value of the ships be corre-
spondingly lessened. Our conviction
is that we will not hereafter be able to
sell the ships for the cost Of recon
ditioning plus the price at which we can
now SELL" said Payne.
Questioned as to the possibility Of
the vessels ultimately being sold to for
eign interests. Chairman Payne told the
committee the ships could not be trans
ferred from under the American flag

GOOD SHIP HENRIETTE,
 ONCE WRECKED, AGAIN
 GAILY SAILING SEAS

VANCOUVER, B. C., July 1.-The old Henriette, which for the past twenty years has. been Q familiar craft on this coast, is now rejuv- enated and sailing the southern Pa cific as one of the smartest look ing sailing craft in those waters. So declares Captain A. WOodside. of San Francisco, who bought the old boat after she was through with the Grand Trunk Pacific service. Captain Woodsidc pulled the en- zines out of her, rebuilt her from her deck up and rigged her as a railing schooner at cost of $85,- 900.
 The Henriette was originally an iron barkue sailing under the flag of France She was wrecked on the Columbia river bar and sold for a Uong to some Japanese salvers who gotlsher afloat and with the. 0id of twin engines ran her up and down this coast at handsome profit. Sev- eral successive owners made for tunes from her before she passed in- to Captain Woodside's hands.
