At least a flicker of life has been breathed into, old plans for a tunnel connec : France and Eng- land as a result of the new Eurc 1 war.

Several powerful periodicals contended that such a tunnel would make Continen- tals out of Englishmen, and would expose England to invasion at any time. The British War Office was aroused against the plan by the Army Commander. the Duke of Cambridge, who also was a cousin of weighed the plan Queen Victoria, A commission and reported that, if such a tunnel was built, it would be necessary for Britain to maintain a large arrison at the English entrance to the shaft, and be necessa for the nation to adopt for the sake of eternal preparedness \sion. A talking point for opponents of 1el was the fact that not long after it was opposed, back in Napoleon's time, France land went to war with each other. the Dover-Calais tunnel reportedly came up for discussion again but was rejected on the ground that it was too costly and mbitious an ungertaking to be prosecuted during The same objection still holds gh might even cor ription and En During the World W: 1e course of a war rue today, but circumstances are such as might warrant the project. The tunnel would cost about $300,000.000. But, if it shortened the war by even 10 days it would pay for itself, since the Allied daily estimated at $30,000,000.

The country needs men of his caliber to meet the exacting requirements of the financial departments of the Government Suspect Detective Steries (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Detective stories, the most inoffensive sort of literature as far as political and social ideas are concerned, are called subversive in Italy. Transla- tions of the tales of Agatha Christie, Edgar Wallace and the host of other spinners of yarns spooky and mysterious, have been banned by fiat of il duce. No longer can the tired Italian business man forget the ever-present state by an excursion into the fascinating realm of literary sleuthing. This door to mental relaxation has been shut by the government because detective yarns might give Fascists bad ides A detective must build up a strong case in order to apprehend and convict the suspect. There must be evidence in plenty. ‘The culprit, however heinous his crime, is innocent until proven guilty by due process of law. How different from the methods used by the all-powerful police in a police state! Suspicion, not evidence, is enough to bring conviction. The suspect is guilty unless he can by some miracle prove himself innocent. ! For the good of the regime Italians must cease reading these dangerous novels—products of a de- cadent west. It is indicative of much that no Edgar Wallace has risen to pen great detective fiction in any of the dictatorships, Detective stories are a by-product of the democracies, an expression of the legal process which has made them. Henceforth, the hapless Italian can turn to a re-perusal of il duce’s latest balcony effort for relaxation.
