ENGLISH 'CHIEF
WORLD TONGUE,'
EDUCATORS TOLD

The English language
spread like wildfire after
World War II and is now
"chief of the worlds
tongues. according to a
Government official.
Oliver j. Caldwell, Assist
ant Commissioner for Inter-
national Education in the
Office of Education. made
this report to the College
English Association, meet
ing here.
After the war, Mr.. Cald-
well said, English became
a standard medium of COM
munication even am ong
non-English speaking ma
tionS.
1T seems safe to say that
one person out of every
seven or eight living today
may be defined as English
speaking or a student of
English, and many more are
in the process of learning
English" he continued.
This makes it the chief
of the worlds tongues.
Only Chinese exceeds it
numerically, but Chinese is
broken into several dialects
and is largely confined to
one continent"

Called PeriIous
byMrs. Meyer

Mrs. Agnes E. Meyer, wife Of
Eugene Meyer, chairman of the
board of the Washington Post
Times Herald, last night offered
a three-point program for lift
ing Americans in general out OF
what she called the "mediocrity
Of mundane thought and express
sion." which help maintain the
barriers of international diff
ferences."
The characteristics of Ameri-
can democracy can never be I'M
derstood by friend or enemy
Mrs. Meyer declared. until I'VE
succeed in translating our best
traditions and accomplishments
into languages understood by
other nations" So far, she said
I'VE have failed"
The speech was presented al
an open meeting of the three
day list annual Modern Lam
guage Association convention in
the Hotel Statler. 1t was read
by Sidney Lyman, a local au-
thor. Mrs. Meyer was unable to
attend.
Fulbright Speaks
Senator Fulbright, Democrat
of Arkansas. also addressed the
gathering. The audience was
welcomed by Henry Grattan
Doyle. professor of Romance
languages and dean of the Co.
lumbar College, George Wash
ington University.
Mrs. Meyer described the prob
lem as one primarily of seman-
tics" and urged it be solved
by "instilling in our youth a
deeper understanding of their
own language" Increasing
American interest in tile study
of foreign languages" accom-
panied by a greater knowledge
of foreign cultures"
Mrs. Meyer pointed out that
many of "our significant con-
tributions to humanity right here
at home are frequently looked
upon in foreign lands as products
OF pure materialism, rather
than matters Of the heart" India,

She held that the United

credited the fact in part to the
neglect of foreign languages in

enslave as well as free minds. f"
Mrs. Meyer said. But she eau
toned this country against being
taken in by the calculated"
misuse by unfriendly nations Of
the trend toward development of
a common language.
She supported the trend but
warned that it is being used to

fact which has placed some
Americans ION the defensive"
In that connection she sug-
gested that this country rid it
