WORLD TONGUE
TO BE ENGLISH
Majority of Answers to Query
Nominate Our Language.

STOCKHOLM, jan 19.-Some time ago
the board of the peace congress of the
north issued a question to the profess
sors of language at the universities Of
different countries in order to ascertain
which language would be the most suit
able and have the greatest prospects
for acceptance as a universal language
for correspondence and conversation,
Side by side with the language of the
country in question. Nineteen answers
nave been received up TO date, and among
those, twelve are opposed to the artih-
eial languages-Ido, Esperanto Volapuk
and express the opinion that the Eng
lish language has the greatest prospects
Of being accepted as the universal Ian
guage, Besides this, two have declared
for French, one for German, one for
Esperanto, and three for lido.
= The professor in Sanskrit and "com-
parative language research" Mt the Lund
university, Nils Elenburg, has made the
following statement.
For my part, am convinced thot
under present conditions, English would
be most suitable, and have the greatest
prospects of being accepted as an in
ternational world language It is spo-
ken by those two nations, the English
and the American, which, after the vic
tory of the allies will play a leading
political part to q still greater extent
than heretofore. 1t is also the trade
and business language mostly used, ana
besides, it is the widest spread tongue
over all the continents. The study Of
this language would not only serve
general practical purpose, but also be-
come medium through which 4 more
intimate knowledge of literature which,
perhaps contains the most important
educational value conceivable"
Similar statements have been made by
Archbishop Nathan SOderdlom and the
bishop of Copenhagen, n. OsterfeId t.:
! Carl Benedicks, professor at the Stock
holm high school; Charles L. LANCE.
secretary-general for the Interparlant
Union; Wilhelm Gronbeck, professor at

professor at Leiden university; Josef

being formed in New York. Young Dav-

wanted to go very badly. In fact he
