There is an alternative scheme which
would go far to provide quicker and
smoother means of communication
without any of lite alleged risks attend-
ing the channel tunnel. That is Ile- -
scheme of it channel ferry, to which the
Government has given explicit encour-
agement. There is nothing either new
or chimerical to lids idea. It was en-
dorsed by act of Parliament at the last
session, and a company whose board of
directors include such names as Lord
\Veardale, Sir (:harles Rivers -Wilson
and Admiral Sir Cyprinn Midge, formed
to carry it out. Referring to this scheme
the Tirnes remarks: -
"Failure of the channel project for
reasons which ars' amply justified leaves
us under something like an obligation
to try the alternative If a harmless ono
can Inc provided. Of present conditions
of the channel passage we certainly
have no reason to Inc proud. The ferry
scheme raises no strategic danger,
would Inc far cheaper and speedier to
eslnblesh than the tunnel and offers
many of the ntantnges which were
itemised by lis rival."
