Basic English .' ' . -
Basic English, -which took a spurt when Prime
Minister Churchill on si visit to this country
gave it a boost, was taken for a ride In the
current Harpers magazine in an article by
Rudolph Flesch. Basic English is the collection
Of 850 words which were chosen by Prof C
K. Ogden of Cambridge university as the es
sential words in the English language for prac
tical use. The idea behind the selection is that"
jtheir use would simplify our own speech and -make
the English language more readily the
language of all nations. 1 .
The words chosen are naturally root or key .
words which can carry full loads of meaning.
This means that many words are omitted. For
example among animals no names are includ
ed for lions, foxes, wolves, kangaroos. And in
the list of foods words like tomatoes, cabbage,
spinach, carrots, liver are omitted (that might
recommend it to non-lovers of spinach and
carrots). The basic omits such words as chair,
lamp, rug. It includes army but not navy; and
has neither "bathtub nor kitchen sink. :
But is not the "tendency of language toward
specialization in meanings? When the auto
mobile came into use that word was a coined
word from Greek roots, and some' collateral
words were borrowed from the French: chauf
feur, garage. But many new j words were used
or old words given a specialized meaning, liKe
hood, differential, universal. Now basic will
work only if it has words with enough flexibili
ty to cover the wide field of communication
economically. ' i
We wonder, too, if in our dealings with oth
er peoples a practical Basic j is not developed.
We had in the northwest in the early days
a Chinook jargon which was a blend of Indian,
French and English used in j talking with In
dians. Is it not true that in the South Pacific
for example the natives are picking up a prac
tical English which will "get them by ."But un
doubtedly many of the words are not out of
the Basic vocabulary. They are learning words
like jeep, coke, pilot, plane, spam, bulldozer,
bomb. Try to find them in Basic.
Of course this is not the real test of Basic
but it does show how necessity encourages
communication in terms of what is immediately
involved. But the idea applies in other fields.
Your foreign banker dealing in foreign ex
change Would need a different Basic from that
of the oil promoter or the missionary.
Flesch, though he scoffs at Basic predicts
language simplification, saying:
To sum up Basic English; is neither Basic
nor English. But in. our amusement at its
! freakish aspects, let us not forget that Basic is -'
' still a thousand times better than the academic
or bureaucratic jargon we have to wade through
every day; that it is the first attempt in the
history of mankind to create a simplified lang
uage within a language; that its analysis of
word meanings is an indispensable technique
that will have to be taken over by whatever
system of simplified English we are going to
adopt
For simplified English is bound to come.
In another generation or two, it will be quietly
added to the list of commonplace miracle
gadgets, and used wherever it can help foreign
school children and adult students.
Well, simplified spelling had ; even more to
recommend it, but how fast has it been adopted?
The language is a growing thing. Children and
foreigners begin with primers containing few
words. They advance in knowledge and use
of words as their needs require and abilities
permit. For the complexities of modern life
and thinking require wide -vocabularies, even
though modern writers have not done any bet
ter with larger word lists than Shakespeare
nd Homer.
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt has been inducted
Into the "Super Royal Order of Hyperterres
trial Hoppers." Eligible only are those who
have crossed the equator in a military air
craft. If FDR gets a fourth term she will prob
ably make herself eligible to the order of Su
perterrestrial Hoppers, especially if there are
any votes on Mars.

show that we are not forgotten. We can look
for a return visit next fall.

The War News
By KTRKE L. SIMPSON -'
r Copyright 1944 by the Aaeociated Pratt
The mad month of March is fading amid a flurry
of axis-allied preparatory activities which leaves
no doubt that the war in Europe is zooming to
Its crisis for Germany, or that the pacific battle
stage has been reset for new tests of Japanese
. staying power. I
From all sides the foes of the besieged axis mates
: are dosing in despite all the distance odds against,
them. Pinched between the Russian offensive in
the east that knows no seasonal halt now, the
; fury of allied air attacks from the west, and the
slow but unwavering Anglo-American diversion
pressure in Italy, HHitler is obviously "readying
the inner walls of his shriveling European fort
' ress. 1 ; . ':- r.: I
No surer sign of what Berlin knows to be im
pending in the west, and from the east against
that inner defense ring still keeping the war out
of Germany itself except by air, could be asked
than nazi occupation of Hungary.
The fiction of a nazi-erected European new or
der hegemony founded on popular acceptance .of
Ili'Jerism in unwilling Balkan countries has been
dropped by Berlin. It has no real place in nazi
war conceptions and could not stand up under the
necessities of military expediency.
Nowhere within fortress Europe outside the rdch
except where it rests on German bayonets, gestapo
espionage and strong-arm repression is nazism
firirJy planted. Just how strong It still is in Ger
many itself coming events may soon disclose. A
year and more of nazi defeats and retreats have

;tt L..:e, helped imponderatly in the soltening up
of the European continent for allied invasion. ,

TVA' Appropriations I
The senate voted Friday to end the financial
: autonomy of TV A. This means that if the house
concurs and the president signs the bill, TV A
.will no longer be free to spend its income with
: out reference to congress. It will have to go to
congress for funds the same as other branches of
government In this regard it will be on the
same footing: as the Bonneville administration
which annually presents its budget' for ap
propriations to congress. Bonneville " has got
ten on very well under this arrangement, and
TV A should be able to do likewise, f ;
One j of the fundamentals of popular gov
ernment is control of the purse by the parlia
mentary body representing the people. Reten
tion of this right was the cause of one of the
great battles in English history between par
liament and the Stuart kings. Congress is today
fighting to regain that power which it has
signed away, too generously in appropriation
measures made since 15)33 with no strings at
tachedblanket grants of money to the execu
tive, j" " -
Independent agencies, like the TVA, like to
run their own show. They do not like to have
to wear any bridle either as to law or money.
Even when they start out with noble purpose
to "do good" for the people possession of so
much power leads to extravagance and arro
gance. TVA will not starve for appropriations,
any; more than Bonneville which has been gen
erously dealt with by congress. It does not
mean the crushing of TVA to insist oft its run
ning the gauntlet of congressional committees
for its appropriations. Then the responsibility
passes to congress to scrutinize its requests, pro
vide funds that are necessary and deny those
which are merely scatter good. I
Thej country is being fed some sordid details j
of the; love-life of the man rated as its No. one
comic actor. This off-stage business Isn't fun
ny. It is not merely the involvement of a famous j
person but the revelation that fame and wealth
seems to make men think they are above law,
above moral control. But it remain i question!
whether the disclosure will promote moral con- j
trol at least by posting a warning or whether!
it will encourage others to imitate; the not-!
ables. Is

WASHINGTON, March 25 Mr. Willkie is beat
ing the bushes of Wisconsin in a hotter hunt for
delegates than any presidential candidate ever
attempted before. J f
While he flails on with great publicity (twelve
or fourteen Washington political writers were in
- - eM4g
W 'St.
I A i ' 1 announcements that the dele-L-AZlI
1 gates are "uninstructed.w
Pant Manon For instance, New Mexico
has chosen eight delegates,- supposedly unpledged.
If my information is correct, the choices were made
to read seven for Dewey and one for Willkie.
. -At the head of the delegation Is Mrs. Ruth Hanna
McCormick Simms of the old Illinois isolationist
McCormick family and Cleveland's Hanna, who is
certainly NOT pro-Willkie. f ;5
Florida has chosen 15 delegates just as softly
Those who make it their business to know such
things, line up the delegation prospects as: Dewey
3, Willkie 3, MaeArthur 2, Bricker 3.
In North Carolina, Dewey won the whole dele-
gation of 22 by unanimous action of , the state con
vention. ! -j
In New Hampshire, where the results were more
widely proclaimed, the results were not as clear,
The- only two instructed delegates are for Dewey.
Willkie claims she of the others fwho are un
pledged, including the former isolationist leader in
the senate, George Moses, whose designation in
this way at least raises doubts. But accept Win
kle's claim, ' and three New Hampshire delegates
are doubtful, if not for Dewey. ; il: ; i.
The grand total of delegates chosen thus far,
acording to my count, runs: f : ; j j
Dewey 38, Willkie 12, MaeArthur 2, Bricker 1,
doubtful 3. ;: V. - ; , . 'i
The inescapable conclusion must; be that Will
kie is running away with the publicity, Dewey is
running away with the delegates. When you con
sider that Wisconsin has only " 24 Idelegates, the
. current discrepancy between headlines and facts
must be apparent. Mr. Willkie's overwhelming dif
ficulties, even if he happens to win Wisconsin, are
-likewise evident"- -V:f.'
But why did Mr. Willkie choose Wisconsin and
invite in the Washington political writeis to wit
ness! Wisconsin is old LaFollette! temtory, the
primary stronghold of isolationism in i tile United
States. LaFollette, the elder, voted against the last
war, and led the fight against the treaty of Ver
sailles. Why then fight here in the toughest sec
tor?: . ' - w c--s: --:;vr .'
Apparently there wasno place else to fight In
: Michigan, he would run into Dewey? as favorite
son; in Illinois, into even worse difficulties; Ohio
is Bricker's: in Nebraska, he can only run against
Stassen; California has been neutralized, and so on.
Thus, even the choice of locale; for this fight
is hardly a sign of strength. . ,; ,
Technically, however Willkie has, tf strong ad
vantage in Wisconsin. Dewey has only 18 dele
gates entered in his name, which means he has al
ready lost 8 of the 24 before he starts. Further
more, he did cot choose his delegates, nor did his
people. In fact he tried to stop the movement and
what is left of his candidacy there only represents
a local movement in his behalf. 5 f - "yj
Offhand, therefore, you would expect that Will
kie would get the bulk of the delegation when the
, .polls close April 4. Then lus real troubles have be

A college friend of mine kept
a diary', of first impressions.
Whenever he would meet a new
person he would; write down his
immediate- estimation' of that
person.' Then in; the years that
followed we spent many enjoy

what he had written about those
who had no become our friends.
In the majority, of cases those
first impressions had been far
from the truth! . '
We do ourselves and others an
injustice when we rely upon fan

judgments. Many of us have to

Finland, risking Russian invasion
by rejecting peace offers, is pin

on allied fighting manpower lim

The Finns reason that in resist

who otherwise could be used di
rectly against German, hence the
United States: and Britain; would
have to supply the equivalent to
make up the grand total manpow
er figured necessary for the com
ing three-power assault on Ger

So they hope the US and Brit
ain will influence Russia to offer
them better terms.
Study on the job: the armed for
ces, foreseeing a long period of
service for many men including
occupation troop after the shoot

time worthwhile for those held in
uniform. ! .. ? j '
Both the army and navy are
working on extensive educational
programs; reaching up through the
college level, to be provided for
servicemen wherever they may be

at home.
This is in addition to plans for
free schooling of discharged vet
erans.

The war department, disappoint

Men Under 18

Of Service
The opportunity to s e 1 e c t the

appeal to young men between the

office building. j
t Among those in this area ap
plying for navy training are the
following: David K. Baker, War

This may be one reason for the

Rations: "OPA is "working on a
plan to give more rationed food,
especially meat, at on-the-job
meals for men in heavy industry.
Loggers will be the first to bene
fit. OPA estimates their nutrition
al requirements at 5200 calories a
day, against a normal 2500.
At present some extra ration
points are assigned for workers In
isolated areas, but the new pro
gram is the first recognition of
special nutritional needs.
"To control or not to control:
Crop controls will be a gib ques
tion when republican party farm
leaders gather at Chicago April
3-4 to confer with farm organiza
tion leaders.
Some party chiefs believe th
GOP should go on record as stout
ly opposed to any future crop con
trol program. They contend that
farmers and consumers alike want
programs , like the AAA elimina
ted. I
Others, like Rep. Hope of Kan
sas, often mentioned as a likely
secretary of agriculture in event
of a republican victory, believe
controls should be imposed on
marketing, in event of surpluses,
but not on production.
Labor: the war labor board is
prepared to yield some recogni
tion to so-called independent un
ions by giving them subordinate
positions, but that won't settle the
issue. The AFL and CIO have
full WLB membership status. Cries
of discrimination will be heard
again soon from the independents,
chiefly Matthew Smith's confeder
ated unions of America whose ex
ecutive board will meet April 2.
AFL-CIO; If the AFL loses its
traditional exclusive US vote j at
the forthcoming international la
bor conference, or even has! jo
share It with the CIO, it will snub
the meeting.
