But is English a good language for everybody to spe.ik'r Third, trade. The American dollar has swept the money mar kets of the world, and the pound sterling is not far behind it. Did you follow the stock reports in the late crash oh. didn't you! and did you notice how securities all over the globe \\ere affected:' It was a touching tribute toourtinan ciai leadership, liut if "dollar" is not a better word than "franc" or "lira." what do these facts mattery Finally, talkies. Talkies made in Hollywood are riding triumph ant over all the foreign bans, pro pagandi/ing the Knglish language. American edition, wherever the sun shines. They may well prove the most effective instrument yet invented for spreading Hngiish. liut ought Knglish to be, spread? It is intrinsically a bcUer language than I'Yench or German or even Chinesey This is the moral ques tion which IUCKS behind the facts, and tins is the question which we must now consider, liack in •'><><> li.C.. to take a parallel instance. Hellenic Greek bicame a world language. It supplanted to a large extent many local tongues, among them the Hebrew and Aramaic of Palestine. Vet either was incom parably a better language than Greek, simpler, more effective, easier to learn and to use. Fate is playing on the nations today no such shabby trick as when shecom pel led the Jews of Palestine learn Greek. to It is a curious fact that language as we now know it develops not from the simple to the complicated, but the other way round from the complicated to the simple. When ever we can trace more than one stage in a language's history we lind that the earlier speech is more difficult, more unwieldy. Latin is complication personified compared to three of its n.odern children, French. Spanish and Italian. So far as modern Greek has changed from ('lassie (Ireek. it hassimpli lied, ('optic ha> lost many of the complications present in the tongue of the hieroglyphs. To be sure, we have never met a language a-borning, and so we .'-an only guess that somewhere a stage of simplicity must have preceded those complications upon which outearliest gaze rests, liut that is a matter of speculation. What we do know as a present linguistic law is this: time simplifies a tongue. Gradually the language begins to forsake its numerous declensions and conjugations, its optative, cohortative, predicative moods, and all the other flummeries of primi tive speech. Gradually there be gins to emerge a lean, efficient diale:-t. This simplification has not al ways been considered a linguistic virtue. The proper adjective to use in d« scribing antique languages was rich, and for more recent de velopments, degenerate or deca dent. What was the Greek" verb if not rich, with the hundred vary ing dresses it might weary And THK 1'KUCAN docs not the mordern Knirli-h verb display a decadence \erijin^ upon shamelessiicss \vitli only two'.'
