A commission in Paris which has been discussing this project also .is considering the building of tunnels ung der -the Bosphorus connecting Europe with Asia and one from t::ibra1itar con- necting Europe with Africa. • The- English Channel Tunnel Com- pany already has done a. vast amount of work in anticipation of the resump- tion of actual construction of the tun- nel to France.
