To-day, however, the universal language known as Esperanto, a survival of the fittest from several tongues designed in recent years for general use, is making real progress in various parts of the world. The report of the General Secretariat of the League of Nations for 1922 says : "Language is a great force, and the League of Nations has every reason to watch with particular interest the progress of the Esperanto movement, which should become more widespread and may one day lead to great results from the point of view of the moral unity of the world." The astonishing progress of Esperanto in its conquest of a polyglot globe is dealt with by John K. Mumford in a recent most readable article in the New York Herald, in which he says : Since 1920 on an average a new book in Esperanto has appeared every other day.
