Open Letter by Legion President Dear Citizens, This year. as in other years, the Canadian Legion; throughits 11194 branches and auxiliaries in Canada, Is calling to the people of the doniin• ion that they should observe more than ever in solemn rernembrtuice the symbolism which leas become an integral part of Remembrance day observances, and asks that every man, woman and child wear a poppy. front Saturday, November 0th, to Thursday, November 11t1i, in memory of those who laid down their lives in the great war and of those men and women who have made the supreme sacrifice in the present conflict. This appeal is not made on behalf of the legion or its members but On behalf of all ex -service men who are in need, The collection and adminis- tration of the poppy fund has been entrusted to the Canadian Legion, This, however, does not mean that the poppy fund is par=t of the funds of the legion, It is kept entirely separateand is not even treated as a part of the relief fund, It is rather consid-I eyed as a trust fund, which the leg- ion administers for the benefit of all ex -service men. In granting relief, members of the legion receive no preference but all ex -service men stand on an equal footing, Any man who has served and who 1s in need, has a claim on this fund. The poppies and wreaths which you will be asked to buy are made by au organization of disabled ex -service men. These men are absolutely incapable of earning a living in any other way, and but for this industry, would be a charge on the public funds. If pOPPY day did nothing but keep these men self-supporting and self-respecting citizens. it would still be worth -while. The organization of poppy day, the sales of wreaths and poppies, the handling of monies collected, the in- vestigation and relief of all applic- ants, are done by voluntary workers. No roan or woman connected in any way with this receives one rent as wages, salary, bonus, commission or allowance for expenses. All monies collected are placed in a special ac- count which is controlled by a board of trustees of this branch. Every ex- penditure made is approved and every account checked by the board. Every applicant for relief is investi- gated carefully but sympathetically. Relief may take the form of food, clothing, fuel, rent or medical assist- ance. It is practically never issued in cash, Over a million citizens of Ontario wore a poppy in remembrance last November. 5.000 wreaths were placed in churches and at memorials, in honor of the dead, Should any of our friends desire further information on any point in connection with poppy fund activities our branch secretary will be glad to. apply it. The Canadian Legion is grateful for the hearty support they have always received from the gen- eral public to make the lotof the dis- tressed ex -serviceman easier, and it s our hope that there will be no partial or permanent black -ort for hem. Give and give freely! ALEX MUIR Branch President iree ers.reee r, end evening and r • wee &..eel with great attention.

But one of them. a well educated young Russian. declared 1 that it would take five years' resid- ence in Moscow for an Englishman to master Russian. English has superseded French as the language of diplomacy and though very desirable to know as an auxili- ary. French is far from univ=ersal, Of living languages, Chinese, English and Spanish have the widest public. At Harvard 'University Mr, Churchill gave the efforts to spread what is known as°Be.sio English his blessing, Foreigners the world over who do not know each others' tongues often use English to converse. English is widely used in India, where there is a complexity Of dialects. A Montreal manufacturer travelling in China said that he had often heard Chinese busi- ness talking to each other in "pidgin English" far this same reason. Though of course matey Indians and Chinese speak perfect English. As tourists know. English is widely spoken throughout Europe, On a visit to Germany shortly before the war 1 used, when seeking to find some street or place, to ask the first passer-by. And in Berlin or other cities one often gets a reply fn Eng- lieh. Just after Italy had capitulated we read in the press how angry Ger nhan officers refused to speak 1t'4,3 to local officers and address,, ap- rudely in English.

For twenty years Basic English has been making its way in the world, Designed b ya language psy- chologist, C. 31. Ogden, of Cambridge university, it has been helped along by otiher linguists who have set their hearts on mitigating the curse of Babel. Some say there are 1,700 lan- guages in the world, others make it 2,300, In a globe shrunk by radio and the airplane a eamrnon language would help. It would be of great assistance in creating better under- standing among the nations. Many artificial languages have been tried, including Esperanto, a compos- ite, But people prefer to learn a ready-made language for it offers greater rewards. To -day English leads in world circulation. It is the langu- age of trade in every port, and a working knowledge of it is easy to pick up. About 800 millions of the world's people already speak English in varied degree, And it is claimed that 850 specified words, to which many people confine themselves though they are acquainted with thousands, can serve all practical purposes, Basic boils down to about 850 words. There are ten operation words — prepositions, pronouns, etc., absolutely essential. There are 400 nouns — names of such common things as account, act, addition, work,' writing, year. And 200 names of pict- urable things like chain, cheese, wall, watch, wheel. Basic contains 150 quality words, such as able, acid, angry, thin, white and wrong. Basic embodies just eighteen verbs. Those selected are come, get, give, go, keep let. make, putt, seem, take, be do, have, say, see, send, may and will, And, needless to say, they have to be workers overture. As an example 111 Basic the sin does not rise or set. It gets up and goes down.
