ALLENTOWN, Pa., November 25— A project to convert the entire Atlan- tic coast, from Labrador south, into a balmy climatic paradise that would rival southern California has been called to the attention of President Harding by Emerson P. Jennings, prominent manufacturer of Lehigh- town, near here. It would involve constructing a peninsula off the coast of Labrador, & project that has been much discussed for many years. In his letter to President Harding Mr. Jennings suggests that this coun- try would take the matter up with the British government and have it finance the work. Inssmuch as the chief beneficlary would be the United States. Jennings would have the cost credited on the British war debt. In this manner, he sayw. international finance would be stabilized. ‘Would Shunt Cold Currents, The peninsula. which he suggests| should be bullt, is that proposed prior to the world war and which would extend to the end of the fishing banks, thus shunting the cold arctic currents out to mid-Atlantic and permitting | the gulf stream to flow north to the | mouth of the St. Lawrence and then| eastward, Citing the Panama canal as a!
