WASHINGTON. Nov. ga ro-
ject to provide an independent At

tons, in order TO render them eco
nOmically independent OF Germany,
is receiving a great deal Of atten-
ton in France and Switzerland. ac-
COrding to a report TO the depart
ment Of commerce from Consul Gen.
G. Bic Ravndal at Mates, France.
This project, the consul states, has
aroused much interest at Nantes,
whose municipal authorities are con-
ferring with commercial interests
in Switzerland with a view 10 com
bined action. The business men Of
Lyons also are said to be watching
the movement, with deep interest,
although they have not yet joined il.
The general idea seems to be to
construct suitable rail connections
between the inland production cen
ters and one of the Loire ports
Nantes, St. Nazaire, La Rochelle or
Bordeau II also is considered pos
siblo that the project may be for
warded by the construction Of cam
ais linking up the Rhine and Rhone
rivers with the navigable lake sys-
tenn Of Switzerland.
Certain existing railroads are
available to form the back bone OF
such construction. Port facilities al
ready have been developed at sew
eral Of the ports because Of war de-
mands and railroad yards and ware
houses ample for the beginnings Of
such a project are available at both
Nantes and St Nazaire.
II is thought that after the war
the American passenger and freight
traffic with Central Europe as well
as with Franco will tend toward the
Loire ports In preference to the more
distant channel and North sea
pCrts. which, owing TO their lOca-
ton and TO meteorological condi-
tions, disproportionately increase the
cost OF navigat ion and insurance.
