O'Conner, M.P., re- cently, “they would have built the channel tunnel years ago.” In these days of airships and electrification it is searcely pos- sible to understand the intense opposition which so far has pre- vented the construction of a sub- way between England and France. That a tunnel under the 20 miles of which separates Dover from Calais could menace the safety of the nation is barely comprehensible.. Yet this popu- lar feeling has always’ been strong enough to defeat either powerful governments or strong financial groups when they tried to put the project through.

Mr. Mark luckily could not get free although he tried to do so.

Her lifelong failure to tri- umph over this public prejudice constitutes a remarkable index to British obstinacy. Arthur Fell, a member of par- liament, points out that a tunnel | between France and England would be invaluable to this coun- | try in time of war for the dis-| tribution of food supplies. The| British naval authorities at pres- ent demand a force of at least ten cruisers for the protection of trade routes, so as to enable food to enter the country during war times without undue risk. These cruisers would cost up to $50,-"| 000.000, or about half the cost of building the tunnel, while they would deteriorate in value shortly after construction. TEACHER wires and held them.
