ENGLISH TO BE t •WORLDUHCUABE Subject Arouses Considerable Discussion Among Frenchmen of Learning. 4 FRENCH IS SECONI CHOICE Germans, Knowing Their Language Was Inadequate as World Tongue, Boosted Artificial Languages, Such as Esperanto. By LLOYD ALLEN. (Western Newspaper Union Staff Correspondent) Varis.—lt’s beginning to look as it English will be the world language of the future —with French as a close second choice and with German running a poor third. This discussion of a ‘‘world language" which is occupying considerable attention around Paris, reveals among other things a strange chapter of German duplicity and trickery. It now seems certain that the Germans, knowing the German language was inadequate as a world tongue, tried their best to get the world to think favorably of certain “cooked-up” languages—made to order things as it were, in order to prevent French or English from being considered as the legitimate world languages. ; These artificial tongues, such as Es> peranto, which was probably the best known to them, in America at least, were fairly numerous and each one was given some sort of an odd name. They wore called Esperanto, Ido, NovoLatin and several other queer-sound-ing names. Naturally enough there were a few people in nearly every country that took up these tongues and learned them. But at best the languages were, and are fads, and are unequal to the great task assigned them—the task of becoming a world tongue. An International Language. Paul Mieflle, a French scholar, a college professor who holds the chair of English at the Lycee and who is a wellknown promoter of international education. is authority for the foregoing remarks anent Esperanto and German, His brochure on the subject of a world language has attracted considerable' attention in France and England recently. While some political economists are talking about the establishment of an international currency that will be worth its face value all over the world, and while others are talking of a kind of international government that will prevent future wars, of international control of the drug traffic, and several more “internationalized” subjects, including international welfare, the Frenchmen of learning are discussing the international language of the future. And they admit, modestly enough, that English will probably be the favorite as a world tongue, because English first nf all Is the best known and most widely spoken language of business and mercantile transactions in the world today. Acknowledging that English is bound to be the favorite the French professors claim their own language will naturally take second place in preference to German. Possibly the Germans some years ago foresaw the coming popularity of i English and French and the consequent I shoving of the German language into | third place In the race, because it was before the war even that the “kultnr crusade” for popularizing Esperanto nnd Ido and the other artificial languages started, according to Mietlle. English and French. Briefly, it is Mieille’s idea and the opinion of other noted French and English scholars that the world needs two languages for its future welfare —English and French. While there was a lot of speculation some years ago about finding a unlver sal tongue, such as Esperanto, we had as living languages in this world of ours the two tongues that completely filled all requirements. There was really no need for inventing a new language. There has been n kind of official adoption of the idea that English and French shall be the world languages of' the future in the fact that proceedings at the peace conference have been conducted in these two languages. The procedure has been cumbersome, it is true, but It has been possible for practically all of the delegates to understand everything that takes place in the way of speech making. The French clique of educators promoting the plan of making English i and French the common international tongues want the peace conference, or ( the league of nations, to perpetuate , the procedure of the peace conference and make both tongues the official languages for conducting the business of the leagu-8 of nations. ] Semiofficial communications have neen addressed to the various govern--1 mlnv Were 1!Bed up a ßainst Ger- , I Kover’nmfnH many offici a>s of all these i ’ nSCm *T ,ntnending the ' gone on record eT"! and rtpputies have 1 n recora as favoring the scheme. | w „ c ®stiy p ee p 1 m.: Ba r 1 ; worth $50,000, according fe ‘ against the Vanderbilt hotel man X I meat.
