DEBATED anew
Winston Churchill Warns
Britain Of Starvation in
the Event Of War
By EVERETT HOLES
limited Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Mar. "a. IUP)-Onc
Of Britain's greatest statesmen,
former Chancellor of the EXchc-
uuer Winston S. Churchill, has
revived the violent controversy of,
a tunnel to France under the
English channel.
Nearly SO years ago his father,
Lord Randolph Churchill, led the
fight against such tunnel when.
il was one of the most bitterly
fought issues of victorian times.
The father argued that Eng
lands welfare and safety depend
ed upon her inSularity-i isolation
from Europc's war clouds.
His son, ridiculing those "dcep
and enduring prejudices" that
have blocked the $50, 100000
scheme, contends that modern
means Of warfare such as the air.
nlanc and submarine have made
ihe turbulent, 24-milc, stretch of
water not protection but men,
ace.
WARNS OF STARVATION
"The danger which modern
Britain has to face is not invasion
but starvation" he declared IN a
Daily Mail story. .... ,.
1t would be extremely diff
cult, if not impossible. to feed
! ondon's millions if the estuary of
the Thames were made too dan
gcrous for shipping" -
Churchill took into account tho
fragile condition of European re-
lations. GCrmany's occupation OF
the Rhincland, and the constant
warnings that blockade of the
seas would bring Britons to the
verge of starvation"
I'VE arc" be said, Gin our pres
cnt air weakness, vulnerable as we
never have been before. and as no
other country is now.
BELITTLES AIR MENACE |
"N hen | think Of the dangers
to which we arc exposed ! marvel
at the illogical standard. of values J
of those who dwell complacently
under the air menace anu, yet are !
alarmed at the sugges-
ton of a channel tunnel. =. /
at. seems to me-. the perfect
case of swallowing the camel and
straining at the gnat."" -: 49,. 49,.
; Churchill pointed out along
with his major economic and de-
tense arguments in favor of the
tunnel that thousands of American
tourists en- route to the Contin-
ent-dreading the widely. publ
cized sea-sickness of a channel
crossing-would pa SIS through
England to use the undcrsea tube.
Back in 1871 when Churchill
was Home Secretary he argued
that such tunnc lwould be an
additional strength to Britain's /
security and his view was
shared by the admiralty and Sir
John French, chief of the 1mpcri-
al general staff: |
PROPOSAL BURIED IN 1880
The proposal was vetoed by the
committee of Imperial Defense,
and rested quietly until
it was revived and promptly buri-
ed by a special committee of in

DULUTH. Mimi, Aug. 13
I.NSO.-A dense cloud Of smoke
obscured the sun here today as
fire, famed by hot winds, roared
unabated through the timberlandS
Of northern Minnesota and Wis
conSin.
Handicapped by lack Of equip
ment, manpower, and the long
absence of rain, exhausted fire
fighters struggled vainly to check
the flaming onslaught.
Residents of the communities
Of Fairbanks, BaSSet and Tolml
prepared to evacuate as the wall
Of flames rolled relentlessly toward
their homes in the Markham-Palo
area where the charred body OF
one man has already been found.
More Men Needed
Additional men were rushed to
the aid of 400 fighters battling a
blaze at Pequaywan Lake, Is miles
southeast of here, as the fire
jumped control lines and began
spreading through the dry timber
land.
Firefighters raced raging flames
in the sandstone area, seeking to
get ahead of the fire and build
firebreaks. Near NogaS a new
conflagration ragged, out of con-
troll. Another blaze was reported
at Cruiser Lake.
Families Moved
Along the Arrowhead River,
north of Hovland, fire is sweeping
over hundreds of acres Of timber
land, while in the dense forest OF
the Moose Bay region more than
10 fires are burning.
Communicated trucks moved
families from the village Of HaW-
thorne, Wis, and other nearby
communities as fire in the Brule
National Forest jumped control
lines and roared unabated through
the pine forest.
