PLEA FOR FRENCH LANGUAGE
The Paris Matin Asks That II Be
Officially Used by Society Of
Nations.

Paris.-The Matin makes plea for
the adoption of French as the official
language of the society of nations 1t
points out that French has been the
language of diplomacy slnce.the eight
eenth century and that 1t was the Ian
guage of the Algeciras and The Hague
conferences. and 1t argues that, while
French is not superior to other lam
guages. 1t is recognized as peculiarly
adapted for clearly and unamblguously
expressing fine shades of thought.
The Matin recalls that at Karlstar
in 1905 after the protocol regulating
the dissolution of the Swedo-Nor-
wegian union was drawn up in the two
Scandinavian languages 1t was decided
that for greater precision and to avoid
all doubts as to its Interpretation a
third text of the protocol should be
written in French.
