THE CHINA

CHANNEL TUNNEL.

WILL IT EVER BE- BUILT ?

London, July 3, A great deal has been heard about the Channel Tunnel during the past few days and although nothing has come of the activity there is a general feeling that the project is now nearer accomplish- ment than ever before in its 50, years' history. That is not to say, however, that it will ever be built.... but simply that the scheme is now known to be a practical and paying one which can be undertaken by private en- terprise whenever the Govern- ment of the day gives its sanc- tion, and in view of the division of opinion into pro and anti- Tunnellers there is always the possibility that the "pros" may one day become more numerous and powerful.
