‘BASIC ENGLISH' 1 NEW LANGUAGE OF 850 WORDS Sounds Clumsy in Writing, but It’s Easy to Learn; Just Try It. ‘Ba*ir English" ha* leaped into prominence in hl rounlrx aince Commix*ar Maxim Litvinofr ued it in a transAtlantic telephone with his wife. It'* a “language" consisting of root words—•bout *.V>—of the complex English tongue.' It’s designed as a sort of eats medium of conversation for all nationalities. Bern’s a storv about Basic English written ia Basie English By i nited Press WASHINGTON. Dec. 3 The writing of this story is in Basic English. the new language of 850 words, which has the approval of many leaders in education. If it sounds clumsy in the writing, that is because of the scarcity of words in the language. Basic English uses many words to tell the same idea that old languages tell in one word. Professor C. K. Ogden of London is the inventor of the language. He is of the belief that it will be in use soon in all countries of the earth. Mme. Maxim Litivinoff, the woman the Soviet commisar is married to, is in approval of the language. H. G. Wells, the British story teller, is in approval. Many other leading men are in approval. . Six Kinds of Words They are in the belief that basic English will help unite the earth and keep its nations out of war. The language is simple. It is put together of six kinds of words: Operators, natural substances, necessary names, common things, collectives and qualifiers. Operators are words like come get. give, keep, let. make, put and be. Natural substances are words like air, blood, butter, chalk, coal, copper. cork and cotton. Necessary names are words like act, addition, adjustment, agreement. amount and animal. Common things are words like angle, arch, arm, baby, bag, ball and basket. Collectives are words like ap proval, behavior, brass, bread, care, clothe and comfort. Qualifiers are words like able, angry, awake, black, boiling, bright and broken. Tells General Ideas The language Is to tell general ideas, it is not to tell specific things and so has to be used to describe foods (for instance) in this way: A white root that makes the eyes water, (onion). A green plant food with a round! heart, (cabbage.) A sweet red root, used as food, (beet.) A green-yellow berry with hair on the skin, (gooseberry.) A cake rolled thin and cooked two times, (cracker.) The language is lacking in grace. I It is easy to learn. Professor Ogden, Mme. Litvinoff. Wells and they who think the same way are of the belief that its lack of grace is not so important as its ease of learning and that it is useful now to the earth. In a few years, they are of the belief that it will be more useful. PHILADELPHIAN BUYS N. Y. EVENING POST J. David Stern Declines To Discuss Terms. By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. B—J.

All New- York may not have gone on a bender to celebrate repeal, but in the eyes of some of the natives things looked rather tip-sy around the library on Fifth avenue. They'll tell the cockeyed world! Even the sightseers were seeing things. The dizzy whirl of big city life, you know. Anyway, it was a big evening for everybody ... east side, west side and all a-ROUND the town!

Regime of Hitler Called Move to Save Capitalism

Professor Hoover Describes German ‘New Deal’ as Economic. BY DR. HARRY ELMER BARNES Times Special Writer. Recognition that the Hitler regime in Germany is one of the most deplorable developments in the political and cultural history of modern times should not prevent one from trying to understand how the Nazis were able to rise to a position of domination in contemporary Germany. By understanding the movement, we can come to learn what it feeds upon. By eliminating the wrongs to Germany ■which have made possible the Hitler atrocity, we may possibly be able to undermine the new system. Hamilton Fish Armstrong, editor of Foreign Affairs, has written perhaps the best brief introduction to the rise of Hitler and the results of his policies in Germany. For one who wishes to get the present German situation in a nutshell, this volume may be heartily recommended. Mr. Armstrong’s well known anti-Germanism has been kept under commendable control. It should not be forgotten, however, that Foreign Affairs, with Mr. Armstrong as its editor, was one of the most powerful influences in America which kept alive the false theories about German war guilt and the Treaty of Versailles, that were more responsible than any other single element in producing the Hitler uprising. Professor Hoover, already wellknown for his excellent book on Soviet Russia, now gives us the most satisfactory survey of the transition from the German repub-

lic to the Nazi dominion. Others j may have described better the per- I sonalities and episodes involved but! no other book that I know of in English has so satisfactorily dis- j cussed the institutional changes involved. Professor Hoover writes from a first hand knowledge, having spent the last year as a resident of Ger- j many. She shows that Hitler’s ad- ; vent was due to resentment of the I Germans over the war guilt lie and the unfair Treaty of Versailles, to the resulting instability of unpopu- j larity of the republic which had signed the Treaty of Versailles, and j to the splits and quarrels among the Mexican Socialists. He holds that Hitlerism is something more than a movement for treaty revision or a savage persecution of the Jews. In an economic sense, it is the German “new deal” through which a desperate effort is being made to save German capitalism. While not in sympathy with Hitlerism, Professor Hoover writes objectivity and shows that, whether we like it or not, Hitler and his group are likely to remain in power for a long time to come. Joseph Lewis, the well known free thinker, has brought out a pleasant little volume contrasting pre-revo-lutionary and post-revolutionary Spain and laying much stress upon the religious emancipation which

the revolution has brought about. There is no greater contrast between the German and Spanish revolutions than that involved in the medieval bigotry of Hitler as set over against the liberalism, tolerance and enlightenment of the present rulers of Spain in the realm of religion and the intellect.

Farm Life Exposition Visitors Hope to Live in Country.

By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. B.—A little house in the country, a cow, chickens and a few acres of good earth appears to be the ambition of a majority of city dwellers visiting at the International Live Stock Exposition. A poll revealed five out of every seven visitors questioned hoped to leave the city some time for a small farm. Middle-aged men appearfed most interested in farm life. City women generally were rather cold toward it. Farmers and their wives, however, were unanimous in expressing satisfaction with their lot. They have no desire for the tall buildings and bright lights as a place to live. The lure of the farm for city folk has resulted in record attendance at the thirty-fourth annual live stock exposition. Attendance during the first five days exceeded 207,000, a new record.
