WORK IN FRANCE FOR
ALL WHO WISH TO WORK

PARIS, June 24.-There is work right
now in France for every man who
wants to work, according to M. Cla-
veille, minister of public works, who
told an Associated Press representative
that the lack of labor alone is holding
back some of the important public
work for which material was assembled
while the war was going on.
Besides the immense task of rebuild
ing Northern France, NJ. Claveille point
ed out the following projects which will
be executed as soon as the labor can
be found: The enlargement of the canal
from the Rhine to the Rhone to give
Alsace a better outlet for her products
to Central France and to the Mediter-
ranean, extension of several other ca
nails; enlargement and Improvement of
the ports of Algiers, Marseilles and
Brest, with the extension of railroad
lines leading to those ports; the build
ing of water power plants of several
hundred thousand horse power in the
Alps, the Pyrenees and around the CEN
trial plateau to furnish electric power to
railroads and lighting current to cities,
including Paris; the leveling Of the wal
OF Paris; the extension of the Paris
subways into the suburbs as soon as
the Notifications have disappeared, and
eventually, the digging of the tunnel
under the English channel.
