THE CHANNEL TUNNEL.
THE OPINION OF A PRENCH ENGINEER.
M. Sartiaux, chief enginoor of the French Northern Railway, and adminis trator of the French Channel Tunnel Company has given his views on the proposed tunnel to the Echo de Paris. He seems to think that opinion in England has changed in favour of the Beheme: He regards the sea passage as a great obstacle to closer relations not only betwon England and France but between England and the whole of the Continent. In support of this view he quotes statistics of the year 1911 in order to show that the development of passenger traffic between England and France is much more restricted than the corres- ponding development between France and Germany or France and Belgium, in to the combined populations of the tuantries concerned. In 1911 there were 2,808,011 travellers between Franco and Germany and of a combined popula tion of 100,212,000. There were 4,364,540 travellers between France and Belgium and Holland out of a combined popula On the other hand, tion of $2,820,000.
who there were only 1,002,000 passengers passed to and fro between England and the principal Continental ports of the Chaune, the North Sen, and the Baltic. M. Sartiaux reckons that fire average number of journeys which each inha bitant of Great Britain undertakes in his own country every your amounis to 30; whereas there is only one journey under taken between France or vier verso for every inhabitants of holl countries,
He draws the same conclusions from the statistics of international trade. Between 1904 and 1911 French trade with England increased from £88,760,000 to £116,920,000, or about 30 per cent. During the same with Germany period French triste increased from £47.090,000 to £81.400,000, or an increase of over 70 per cent. Moreover, up to 1911 10,000.000 tons of a total of 12,543,140 tons of goods exchanged between France and England consisted of coal. Con, thereforo, represented about 90 per cent of the total tonnage of Anglo-French trade. The con clusion drawn by M. Sartianx is that taunel is an economic necessity.
From the strategie point of view M. Sartianx considers that, apart from the facility with which the tunnel eld he flooded or blown up, there would also be on both sides of the Channel great open-air viaducts as approaches to the tunnel in the cliffs, and they would form Fexcellent targets for the British Fleet. The traction in the tunnel would be electris, and the cables could be cut in a But moment on one side or the other

in view of the Anglo-French Eniente. people in England are beginning to think that the tunnel would really be advant- ageons in the interest of national defence.
As to other question, the alleged British fear of the spread of French ideas, M. Sartiaux points out that neither in Belgium nor in Germany, with which cornmunications are so easy, have French ideas in the least displaced the "No," national sentiments or cietomis.
he concludes, "the tunnel will not change British national sentiment, which is so Is it not the impeccable and so great contrary that will take place?"
THE EFFECT ON BETTIER SHIPPING. Sir F. S. Cripps writes to the Times as follows:
The greatest objection to the Chantel tannel proposal is not a military one-as Sir A. Conan Doyle supposes-but a com- mercial one. At the present time we are the carriers for the world. Most of tho goods to and from our country, instead of passing over foreign-owned railways, are Tho conveyed in English-owned ships. tunnel could easily be destroyed in time. of war, in which case it could not help the food supply. Again, supposing our food supplies were diverted from English ships to foreign railways and the system became well established, you could not in case of war, involving the closing of the turne, suddenly revert to the former plan, as the slips world not be available. Ships cannot be docked, for use only when the tunnel is blocked during war. It may be answered that a single tunnet would not greatly affect the trade routes. But it must be remenshered that if one tunnel is found to answer, a dozen others our shipping may follow suit, and so trade would receive a serious blow.
Our shipping trade is supreme and the eary of the world. Why then should we weaken our position?
"JAPANESE RECIPROCITY."
A GERMAN VIEW.
The well-known Gerinan periodical, Die Zukunft, edited by Herr Maximilian Harden, cuntains an interesting article by Dr. Papellier, of Kobe, dealing with Japanese réciprocity.
