True To
Type
English Reduced
to $50 Words
in Basic
BY GILBERT SELDES

Miss Alice Hughes, who gets
around and sees what the stores
are offering for sale, has been
after me for several months to
tell more about Basic English.
] don't know why Miss Hughes
needs to know about any Eng
Gsh other than the English she
writes, but at any rate her curl
oSity can now be appeased be-
cause the whole system Of this
extraordinary language which
uses $50 ordinary English words
to do the work of the 10000 or
30 we generally use, has been
expounded in a book, 1.-The Sys-
TEN Of Basic English" by C. K.
Ogden, which Harcourt, Brace
b Co. have published.
In the book, Mr.. Ogden trans
1ates into Basic the speech made
by President Roosevelt a year
ago on the reopening of the
banks. I quote paragraph in
both versions; one is President
Roosevelt, one is the transla-
tion. Which is this?
And / tDGnt to tell our citi-
Gems in eUery part OF the nation
that the National CongreSS-Re-
publtcGnS and Democrats alike
-Sho1Ded By this action a devo-
tton to public 1DeltGre and a
realization of the emergency
and the necessity for speed that
It IS difficult to match in all
Our history"
And Which Is This?
"And it is my desire to say
to men and 1Domen in euery part
OF the nation that the National
Congress - Republicans and
Democrats equGlly-made clear
by this act its sense of the in
teTeStS of the public, of the dan-
gers before as, and of the need
to do something quickly. 1t is
hard to give a parallel for this
IN all our history"
I don't think that anyone
could say off-hand which is the
Presidents or even which is
better. If you take a familiar
work, such as the first chapter
Of Genesis, and read the first
three verses in Basic you may
be irritated by the absence of
familiar phrases but you will not
say that the new version lacks
either style or dignity.
"FirSt. God made the heaven
and the earth.
"And the earth 1D1S 1Uithcut
form and there 1UGS nothing in
It and the dark tDGS upon the
face of the deep. And the Spirit
OF God 1UGS ntoUing oUer the
face of the 1UGterS.
"A7d God said, Let there be
light and there 1DGS light"
A World Language
Basic is intended as an auxil-
larry language. It is the Ian
guage used by Maxim Litvinoff
when he spoke from Washing
ton to his English wife in Mos
COW and it probably was easier
for the foreigner to learn it
than for the native. For us to
get used to Basic means that
we have to eliminate-or as
Basic would probably Say-put
away many words. For the
foreigner it means he would
have to learn actually $50 words
for all except technical pur-
poses.
H. G. Wells has predicted that
Basic English would become the
official language of the world.
He and Mr.. Ogden both look
upon it as a bridge "across
which the generations can make
their wa to whatever lands are
promised" One Of these is the
land of international peace. I
am not so sure Of this, but I
think Mr.. Ogden's "Basic Eng.
Ush" is a fascinating study.
