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!

Basic English
Once in Paris at a boarding 'house
filled with foreigners of various nat-
ionalities, where the conversation
was conducted in French 0f sorts,
the other pensionnaires said that
English was the easiest of languages
to acquire. 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. It Is " . red

fact that foreigners knowing little
English speak it with confidence
while English - speaking travellers,
fearing ridicule, shrink froni airing
even a fair knowledge of the native's
own language.
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
