Speaking at the British Steel- Association Juncheon, to work which Mr. Johnson referred, Mr. Francía Lorne, a London architect, said he considered that legislation such as that proposed by President, Roosevelt should be universal, and. perhaps now was an opportune: time for the various Governments and the various underwriting com- panies to make it so.,
Three Liners Burned Within the last year or so, he said, three large liners, one in the English Channel, one in the Red Sea; and one off the coast of New Jersey, had been burnt out with a considerable loss of human life, largely on account of the fact that so much of the material entering. into their decoration" "hað; ́been combustible.
That was probably not the fault of the companies which bullt the Hners, but largely of the demands of public taste, which liked to have panelled rooms. A Tudor or Jacobean woodpanelled lounge In an ocean-going Liner was as out of pince... as could possibly be Inia- gined.
