PROPOSES CONGO
POWER FOR EUROPE
Belgian Engineer Declares It
Ample and Plan
Feasible.

BRUSSELS. Aug. 27.-Transmis-
sion OF sufficient motive power
from Africa to drive all the trains,
light all the towns, and run all the
factories OF Europe is the aim OF .
scheme described here by tire Bel
gian engineer. F. Anderheggen. in
the National Beige"
The Congo River, in Africa. saio
the originator of the plan, dis
charges at least 10000 cubic meters
of water per second, from its reser-
voir at Stanley Pool, over the Liv-
ingstone Falls to the sea outlet at
Bona and Matadi.
Two hundred million horsepower
is thus wasted, said Mr.. Anderheg-
gen, who suggested that this vast
mass Of water-force should be car
ried through pipes under high pres
sure into electric generators in the
Lower Congo.
Thence in the form Of high ten
sion electric current, this vast
power would be sent to Europe.
along the Atlantic Coast, through
Senegal and Morocco. and beneath
the straits OF Gibraltar.
Carried over a distance Of some
5000 kilometers. the power orig
inally available at the source would
suffer a loss of so per cent; but
enough would still remain for the
haulage. lighting and factory power
requirements Of Europe, he asserted.
This scheme, says its daring orig
inator, is no more utopian than the
Panama Canal scheme. First, there
is plenty of native labor available
in the Congo. Second, the cement,
iron, copper, and other requirements
are no more difficult to obtain for
this purpose than for that of rail-
way building.
Proportionately, the job would
cost no more than the railway that
is going to link up Leopoldville and
Katanga. Less time would be re-
quired for the job thar. was needed
for cutting the Panama Cansi.
