LEARNING FRENCH
Another third of a century must elapse before Alsace-Lorraine will become a French-speaking province, in accordance with the language policy of the French Government. Anxious to avoid any constraint or compulsion, the Government is proceeding slowly with its programme of teaching French to the inhabitants of the recovered irovirices. An official estimate recently stated'that only about .10 per cent, of the Alsatian population acquires a knowledge of French as the usual language every five years. At this rate the entire .population should be able to speak French by about 1965 or 1970.
