WASHINGTON, Dec. S.--Proposals to
convert the six great American battle
cruisers to be scrapped under the Hughes
program into palatial ocean liners are be-
ing widely discussed in conference and
senatorial quarters. There seems to be
considerable divergence of view as to
the feasibility Of the scheme.
The British navy, which has had
large experience in scrapping warships
since the arnistice, has seen all its
former battleships, cruisers and other
men war broken up and sold for old
iron, steel, copper and other second hand
material. No single case is on record,
British admiralty spokesman said, of a
warship being turned into merchant
craft. Evidently British ship owners, it
was pointed out, do not consider there is
any direct commercial advantage in OBJ
tanning merchant tonnage by such a
conversion method.

Of whose pocket the money must come,
the thought INN ediately presents itself
that that institution already is in an
exceedingly sad and sorry financial con-
dition. I should say offhand, though l
would want to reserve final Judgment
until the marine engineering experts have
spoken, that a battle cruiser Of our Lex
irgton, Constellation class would need a
tremendous amount of overhauling be-
fore it could be put into shape for
passenger ship purposes. Even though
these vessels are nearly all in the first
stages of contruction-only one, l think,
as far advanced as 93 per cent and others
not yet 3 per cent built-the feat OF
making them over into liners seems at
first thought almost a prohibitively
prodigious one."
The idea of converting the battle
cruiser, originally was advanced by Ad-
miral w. S. Benson, former chairman and
now member of the shipping board.
NAVY HEADS PLEASED
WITH PROPOSAL.
The proposal was received with con-
siderable interest in navy quarters and
apparently pleased naval officers from
Secretary DENLY down. Secretary DENLY,
expressing the natural view of the Navy,
which contemplates ruefuIly the propo-
sal to send the big warships to the
scrap heap, said the shipping board
plan was very interesting" He gave
the definite impression he sincerely
hoped something could be done to save
the ships from utter destruction.-Copy-
