INTRODUCTION. •'* \*\ This pamphlet is issued while the Channel Tunnel Scheme is under the consideration of the Committee of Imperial Defence, with the object of bringing" together, in convenient form, particulars for which on the part of the public generally there is now an ever-increasing demand. It will be remembered that the project was revived early in the present year, when His Majesty’s Government called for special reports upon the subject from the three Departments immediately concerned—Admiralty, War Office, and Board of Trade. These reports have to be presented to the Committee of Imperial Defence. That body will, in turn, make to the Cabinet recommendations upon which the decision of the Government will be based, and announced to Parliament in the session of 1914. Attention is herein directed to the several inquiries, which, in April last, Mr. Arthur Fell, M.P., addressed to the Prime Minister, and the replies of Mr. Asquith are appended. A verbatim report follows of the proceedings when a deputation, representing all political parties in the House of Commons, waited upon the same right hon. gentleman, and urged that the proposed submarine railway between England and France should be constructed as soon as possible. In view of the fact that the only opposition now offered to the Channel Tunnel is based upon the Memorandum laid, in 1883, by Lord Wolseley before the Joint Select Committee over which the Marquess of Lansdowne presided, the document is reproduced in extenso. Even at that time the fears expressed by Lord Wolseley were not shared by the Military Committee (headed by Lieut. -General Sir Archibald Alison, Bart.), nor by Major-General Sir Andrew Clarke (Inspector-General of Fortifications), General Sir John Adye, nor General Sir Patrick McDougal. But with the successful advent of aircraft, the conditions of National defence have since undergone very material change, and many of the objections that were formerly advanced by military experts have, as a result, been removed. One of the strongest living supporters of the scheme is Lord Sydenham (late Secretary of the Committee of Imperial Defence), who has made an important contribution to this pamphlet, and supplemented it by a Note, in which every conceivable precaution for the defence of the Tunnel is outlined. Articles by the late General Sir William Butler, G.C.B., and Major-General Sir Alfred Turner, K.C.B., (late Inspector-General, Auxiliary Forces) are reproduced, together with one from the pen of Lieut. -Colonel Alsager Pollock (who was at one time strongly opposed to the Channel Tunnel), and another by Commander E. Hamilton Currey, R.N. As an appropriate commentary by a great political leader, space has likewise been devoted to the speech which Mr. John Bright delivered in commendation of the project exactly thirty years ago. Mr. Gladstone's speech in support of the Channel Tunnel (Experimental Works) Bill of 1890, is also reprinted. A full account of the scheme in its present shape is contained in the proceedings of the Franco-British Travel Union Congress, held in September last, when Baron Emile d’Erlanger (Chairman of the Channel Tunnel Company) dealt with its military and financial aspects, and Sir Francis Fox, M.Inst.C.E., with the engineering details. A pamphlet written and issued by Mr. Arthur Fell, M.P., on “The Channel Tunnel and Food Supplies in Time of War,” is also republished, and a full translation given of a remarkable article contributed to the Revue des Deux Mondes by M. Albert Sartiaux, Chief Engineer for Roads and Bridges, and General Manager of the Northern Railway of France. Another from Je Sais Tout has been translated, and, by the courtesy of the editors, is reprinted. Articles have also been extracted from the Press of the United Kingdom, which is giving cordial encouragement to the scheme. Finally, commercial testimony is offered, including a summary of the very striking evidence given by the late Sir Robert Giffen, of the Board of Trade, before the Joint Select Committee of 1883. If the decision of His Majesty’s Government be such as to permit full inquiry into the subject by Parliament, ample evidence upon these and all essential points will be tendered by competent and trustworthy witnesses from many parts of the country.7 ^ ^ 1 he Editor.

The resulting changes in perceptions of time, speed and distance alter political and popular understandings of relations between local, national and international, and between society, state and economy. It is also indicative of a shift in the development of the state; from the ‘pre­ modem’ to the ‘modern’ in the first timeframe, and the ‘modern’ to a new stage that could be termed ‘global’ more recently.

Through a series of case studies, including an examination of the role of religious controversy in fin-de-siècle Parliamentary politics, it shows that religious belief and practice were more important in turn-of-the-century Britain than has been appreciated. The argument that the onset of secularization in Britain as defined by both a decline in religious attendance and personal belief can be pushed back until at least the 1920s or 1930s is not new. Yet, the insight that religious belief and practice remained a constituent part of late-Victorian and Edwardian national identity and public life has thus far failed to penetrate political, social, and cultural histories of the period.

In 1892 it absorbed the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants of Scotland. It was the dominant partner in the 1913 amalgamation with the General Railway Workers' Union and the United Pointsmen's and Signalmen's Society which established the National Union of Railwaymen. Reference: P.S. Bagwell, 'The Railwaymen: History of the National Union of Railwaymen' (2 vols; George Allen and Unwin, 1963 & 1982). The division between the records of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and those of its successor, the National Union of Railwaymen, is not entirely clear cut. A number of files and minute books span both organisations. In all cases such items are listed as a part of the National Union of Railwaymen archive and cross references are provided. The following points should be noted: • all records of branches of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales are listed as National Union of Railwaymen records at MSS.127/NU/6/BR1-22; • records of the Conciliation Boards established after the 1907 dispute are listed as records of the National Union of Railwaymen's Movements Department under reference MSS.127/NU/MV1; • publications of bodies other than the National Union of Railwaymen and its predecessors (including the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) are listed under reference MSS.127/NU/5/1-5.
