Book Description
Excerpt from Compte Rendu Du Congres International D'essais De Semences, Vol. 6: Discussions At The International Seed Testing Conference Verhandlungen der Internationalen Konferenz Fur Samenprufung On behalf of the Royal Ministry of Agriculture and the Danish Seed Control commission, I have the honour of bidding you a hearty Welcome here. In this country we of course use the Danish language; the most natural thing for me would be to address yon in Danish - but only the delegates from the other Scandinavian countries would be able to understand me. In countries where the language does not belong to those that are wide spread, it is necessary on an occasion like this to use one of the great languages. La langue francaise a ete depuis bien longsteinps la langue des diploinates qui a remplace le latin maintenant hors d'usage. chose bien regrettable; l'ido, l'esperanto ou meme le fameux volapuk n'ont pas encore pu remplacer le latin bien aime, supprime par le zele nationaliste de tous pays. Si j'avais une inission diplomatique, je ferais de mon mieux pour m'adresser a vons en un franeais pas trop barbare - mais cette conference n'a rien a faire avec la diplomatie - au contraire nous sommes reunis dans I'interet de nos buts co1nmuns. Deutschland hat das Verdienst, die erste Samenkontrollstation vor 52 Jahren errichtet zu haben. Insofern ware es mir sehr naheliegend, die deutsche Sprache hier zu benutzen, eine Sprache, mit welcher man in den skandinavischen Landern, sowie in Holland, recht vertraut ist. But the same may be said about the English language; when I have the honour of addressing you in English, it is not only because English is the language of very great populations, or because of its relation both to the French, the Scandinavian and German language, but especially because the idea of this conference emanated from English circles. Sir Lawrence Weaver, accompanied by several English gentleman interested in Agricultural questions, visited Denmark the two past summers.
