[Exclusive to the Dally Press,""]

London, August 8-Tunnel pro-, jects which will send thousands of men burrowing through the earth are being advocated here to solve England's unemployment problem.

The proposal, to build a tunnel to France under the English channel has been revived with the Labour Party's return to power. Among other schemes are a gigantic freight subway under London, a tunnel from Sectland to Ireland, and tun- nels to the Isle of Wight and the Isle of Man.

Freight Subway,

They plan, however, cline to get below the channel, and to build a standard gauge railway nine miles on the French side. with 75 miles of track running un- derground from the great docks along the Thames to every impor- tant point in the business district.

The Rt. Hon. Mr, J. H. Thomas, Lord Privy Seal, who is charged with finding a cure for unemploy ment, is considering the proposal, and the Act of Parliament under which the work can be begun has already been drafted.

The proposal to build a Channel tunnel has met with increasing favour both in England and France in recent years. The tunnel is the longest ever contemplated by engineering experts, 41 miles in all, although the length from shore to shore only is 24 miles...
