THE COMING OF SOUND 17 varied gifts. In this way alone the infusion of new blood is simply incalculable. Nor can I see how, in the long run, the movement can fail to be international. It is not necessary to advance visionary arguments in defense of such a belief. We may, or may not, live to speak and hear a universal language.
