On the other hand, such important cities as
Triest Venice Marseille, Salonik Smyrna
and others could be expected to protest loud
and long at any plan which proposed to take
the water away from their harbors.
Beyond these considerations, there Is the
question whether the feat is physically possible.
Many engineers, no doubt, will insist that the
job simply is beyond accomplishment. But the
Atlantropa Union believes that it is entirely
feasible, and plans to open public exhibition
shortly to win public support.
Certainly the whole project is the most enor
nous bit of face lifting that man has ever
dreamed of performing for old Mother Earth.
The Straits of Gibraltar by the way seem to
have fascination for engineers Two other
grandiose plans far less spectacular than this
one but very daring nevertheless, are under
consideration there.
ONE scheme, recently conceived by French
~ and Spanish capitalists calls for the
digging of tunnel under the straits to provide
direct rail connections between Europe and
Africa.
This tunnel would have to be 80 miles in
Evening star., 1933-06-25

length counting its approaches, and would
have to go to depth of about 1900 feet Not
only would 1t link Europe and Africa more
closely together; it is proposed that railway
line be extended from it to the seaport OF
Dakar, on the west coast of Africa from which
point Brazil can be reached by steamer in four
days.
This would bring Europe much closer to
South America and would give European
porters a great advantage over those of the
United States in the race for South American
business.
The other scheme is similar to this one, in
that 1t also calls for Europe-to-Africa rail-
road across the straits via tunnel only the
tunnel. in this case, would float!
A Spanish engineer has suggested that the
tunnel be built elliptical metal tube, in
sections. and anchored to the bottom at a
point only SO feet below the surface.
Building the tube installing it and anchoring
1t firmly enough so that it would resist the
strain put upon it by the current through the
straits would, of course be titanic engineering
problem; but the Spanish engineer believes that
1t would be less difficult than digging a tunnel
under the bottom Of the straits.
And, Of course neither of these plans conn
pares in size with the proposal for the dam.
1t should be added, perhaps that the ct,t-in-
half Mediterranean would not be strictly a
landlocked sea- in the sense that access to ocean
shipping would be cut off, even if the great
Gibraltar dam were built.
Included in the plans for the dam are plans
Tor great locks and ship canals
The chief difference would be that very few
Mediterranean ports Of the present day would
continue to be ports If the dam were built
most OF them would become inland cities, some
OF them many miles from salt water Not least

region of fertile soil, green grass, trees and
pleasant farms.
All of this of course, would depend on sue
cessful construction of a dam at Gibraltar
and when you stop to examine few OF the
figures involved you can see that this Is probably
the most gigantic engineering feat ever sug-
gested by any one.
Americas Boulder Dam Is considered giant,
with a length of about 600 feet and a height
of around $50. The Gibraltar dam would have
to be some Is miles In length, and in places the
straits to be damned are 5000 feet deep!
1t is estimated that the dam at its base would
have to be more than a mile thick Just how
the work at the 3,000-foot depths could be ac-
complished is not quite clear. since divers can
not go down much more than 800 feet One
suggestion is that gigantic pontoons, or barges,
would be filled with great quantities OF rock
and earth and sunk at designated spots, until
the foundations had been laid
Furthermore a strong current flows through
the Straits of Gibraltar, with velocity OF
around miles an hour, And at the very
bottom there is a slower current which flows
in the opposite direction.
TO make matters worse, one of the chief things
] engineers have to guard against, in build
ing DAM is the chance that water may start
trickling through the wall of the dam, under
mining it and causing it to collapse. This is
usually prevented by giving the dam a facing
of reinforced concrete. But it is believed to
be quite impossible to lay facing of reinforced
concrete half a mile below the surface.
All in all, it is estimated that the building OF
this dam would cost at least $4, 900, 900, 900
which in view Of all Of the difficulties involved,
seems like a moderate estimate.
Incidentally Architect Sorgel plans that the
dam would be 162 feet wide along the top. Here
there would be space for roadways for motor
traffic railroad tracks and the like, giving Eu-
rope direct rail and auto connection with Africa.
Naturally enough, all of this stupendous plan
would have to await the consent of a number of
world powers, and whether such consent could
be obtained is problematical
Gibraltar naval base around which Great
Britain has shaped her strategy for generations,
would completely lose its value if this scheme
were adopted-for instead of guarding the straits
it would simply be lonely, rocky hill many
miles from salt water
1t is also open to question whether England
would want anybody building dams across her
vastly important Suez Canal.
Spain would stand to benefit greatly, since
she would have direct land connection with
her African possessions. The same would be
true of italy, which would also come close to
doubling her present territory through posses
sion of land which is now at the bottom of the
