Ryota's Old Daybook: Language Arts & Basic English

  Another Letter in the Thai Paper

Mr. Bill Templer's letter on Basic English, printed on The Nation, an English newspaper in Thailand, got a good reaction. Another letter, this time by someone from Thailand, was printed on the 11 September copy of the same paper.

"Simplified English Might Make Diplomacy Less Difficult" is about Mr. Surapon Vatanavigkit's experience, when he was at Western Michigan University, of reading a book on Basic, and about statements made by Winston Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

The book which Mr. Vatanavigkit came across was probably a number of books made into one: an account of the system and some examples in Basic.

The news of the second letter printed on the same paper was sent to me last week from Mr. Templer. It's very kind of you!
