THE

Universal Language By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON. Jan. 12 People are asking if some of the delegates and officials at the disarmament conference are not handicapped by the use of languages unfamiliar to them. En glish and French are the official languages of the conference. English was decided upon at first, and then French out of consideration of the French delegation and because French has so long been the accepted language of diplomacy. Thi3 means that the delegates have to do their own translating or have the speeches translated for tbem whenever any tongue except their own Is being used. It is often impossible to carry over into a translation exact shades of meaning, and therefore the question of an international lanjruase again Is raised. Would not an artificial language, Esperanto, for instnee, Bolve this problem? Considering the diplomatic attitude toward laneruage, it probably would not. The diplomat knows that much of his conversation can be interpreted in half a dozen ways. He intends it to be so. To show his cards before gauging carefully the other players' hands and being absolutely sure of his own is generally fatal. As it isn't often in the game that all the cards are on the table, so it isn't often that the diplomat speaks unreservedly. This is -where the manufactured lan guage is inadequate for diplomacy, a profess or of philology points out to us He says that in a language like Esperanto or Volapuk it is practically impossible to hedge or to veil a meaning. In a manufactured language there are equivalents for ordinary English words, but the vocabulary is limited If Esperanto had a wealth of synonym, puch as we have in English, half th simplicity of the artificial language will be lost. So, only when diplomats talk straight from the shoulder will artificial language be of any use to them, he says. Another objection to a universal language made by the same language scholar is that pronunciations differ so that the exact words spoken by an Italian, a Swede and an American would not sound at all alike. Difficulties of Esperanto. Even leaving out the question of foreign accents this difference is not able. A in Esperanto is always broad, as in ah, but an American used to sounding his a's rather flat would be apt to produce kampo, field, quite dif ferently from the way given in the book. The foreigner, not allowing for the influence of local pronunciations, might not understand the word at all. The endings, o for a noun, a for an adjective, and e for an adverb, which make reading of Esperant easy, are an.other source of confusion in comers alion, as they tend to be obscured in rapid talk. So that, from his experiments with artificial languages, this professor doubts whether diplomats could understand one another as well in Esperanto as-in English or French, and the obscurities which -would arise might not come where the diplomats intended. The endings of words in Esperanto have been quite a bone of contention. They are designed to simplify the grammar. But some language students hold that in practice, extremely simple grammar is a weakness. This has been pointed out by Hugo Munsterberg, the psychologist. He finds that our complicated system of having a plural noun and a special form of the verb to go with it is wise. If we use "run" for all forms of the verb, for instance, and depended on the noun to show plurals we would "nave, "the boy run," "the boys run." This sort of thing might make tho language easier to learn, but Munster-

berg shows economy. that it would be false "We should need an excessive strain of attention, and reading and listening would become an exhaustive labor," he says. Having several signposts on one sentence to point out the samo meaning, makes conversation far less exacting. Because of the controversies over Esperanto and similar inventions they have never achieved the widespread use their advocates hoped for. Indications point now to English as the popular medium of .intercourse between nations officially and in trade as well. Once. German, French and English were tho three contestants for inter national recognition. Now, German has lost much of its popularity with other countries. The advance of French has been restricted because French has had to share with the Spanish In popularity among foreigners. Many students, able to take only one of the two languages, have chosen Spanish because of its predicted importance. So far as communication in South America 13 concerned, Spanish is important. Americans are said to have caused resentment in come cases because they came to sell goods in South American countries, and expected everyone to talk English -with them. Spanish is not making rapid progress, however, as an international language. The Spread of English. English is making progress. There are more than 150,000,000 native English-speaking people today. About 120,000,000 speak German, and then come Russian and French with 90,000,000 and 60.000.000 respectively. Not only is English spoken regularly by more people than any other tongue, but it is also widely spoken as a secondary language. The Americans and English are not specialists in languages. The proportion of English people who master any other language than their own, is small. The camplacent American refuses to spend time on languages, figuring that the foreigners will learn English. Because the English-speaking countries are so important we have been able generally to "get away with it" English has become almost a neces sity of the foreigner. Whether he is interested in foreign trade, or Uvea in a little village through which tourists pass, he finds a smattering of English necessary. As an internationally used language English has the advantage of being derived from both Teutonic and Romance languages. Thus, it has many woras laminar iu iituyio pijchhus both types of language, ad it is more acceptable to both than a language entirelv dissimilar to their own would be. Because of the widespread use of English, ono of the other uses of an artificial international language is disappearing. It has been claimed that an international language would make travel easier. The American finds that almost anyone who would take the trouble to learn Esperanto, understands enough English to supply his wants.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

Esperanto is advocated. This is for trade and communication by airplane and radio. Here, if anywhere- a com, mon language that can be quickly mastered would be of service. A better means of communication between airplanes crossing Europe Is said to be especially needed. Perhaps here i3 an opening wedge for Esperanto, or some other international language. There has been much enthusiasm professed for Esperanto in particular. Esperanto societies still function. Steps have in several instances, been taken to put the language into practical use on an official basis. Peace advocates at one international convention officially adopted Esperanto as one of the languages for their meet ings. But there, somehow, the project sticks. With all the interest aroused, people go on using the old languages. An experiment with Esperanto for airplane communication would be interesting and might prove of practical value. The Theatres MURRAY May Collins, who plays the leading feminine role in "All's Fair in Love, j starting at the Murray theatre for four days, commencing -today, has a very "different" nickname. It is "Elbows," and was given to her on the occasion of her first Broadway opening. Miss Collins is but 17 years old. and this Goldwyn comedy is her second motion picture venture. She calls herself "flapper," but in film circles she is already marked as a star, because of her unusual ability to see herself as others see her. "It was three years ago you see I was very young, when I opened in 'She Would and She Did on the legitimate stage, with Grace George. I was terribly in earnest .and quite heartbroken when the papers ignored my efforts at acting and raved about the dimples in my elbows! I took it so seriously that the company dubbed me 'Elbows.' " , Nevertheless, her work was recognized, for she made an outstanding hit in the Shubert production of "The Outrageous Mrs. Palmer," and several other Broadway plays. Her flrft picture was "Wife Insurance," and her second is the Goldwyn production of "All's Fair in Love." MURRETTE G. Gardner Sullivan, scenarist of "Mother O Mine," the Thomas H.
