Secretary Daniels told the Senate Naval Affairs committee a plan to dispose of the battleships Idaho and Mississippi to a foreign power for what the U S paid to build them. Greece is said to be negotiating for the ships. The two vessels have been in commission since 1908, costing about 5.83 and 5.89 million dollars respectively.
