END WAR

A GERMAN scientist, Hermann Soergel, has a plan to save Europe from war-by building a dam at Gibraltar and from Sicily to Tunis and turn- ing the greater part of the Western Mediterranean into 500,000 square miles of new fertile land, with a lake in the middle.

His scheme would also provide electric power for all Europe and Irrigate 300,000 square miles of African sands,

A by-product of this engineering feat would be the recovery of quan titles of ancient treasure, which would probably uppear as the waters receded, reventing sunken galleys of ancient Rome and Egypt, he snyn.

The plan is to keep out the At lanile and Indian Decans, Once that is done, the Mediterranean would lower liscif at the rate of 105 metres a year and power sta- flons many times bigger than those at Niagara would be built at Gib- raltar,

Something like a League of Nations would be set up to control the power generated there, which would be ssed along through all the power stations in Europe.
