MOSCOW, U. 8. 8. R, May 19.—Fol- lowing the successful work of the “cen- tral committge for the introduction EI the Latin alphabet” among the na- tional groups of Southern Russia and Central Asia, which hitherto have used Arabic letters, announcement has been made that the committee headquarters will be moved from Baku, in the south, to Moscow. This change of base will add to the driving power of the simpler alphabet from Italy as opposed to the cumber- some letters introduced into Bulgaria | and Russia by St. Cyril in the ninth; century. That any great result will de- velop immediately in Russia is unlikely, JEE | but at least this event shows the in- k | creasing isolation of the people still expressing themselves through Cyrillic, letters, as opposed to the rapidly grow- | ing millions who are reading and writ- ing by means of the uncomplicated letters of the West. ‘Will Affect 30,000,000, When at Alms Ata, capital of Kazak- stan, a few days ago resolutions for Latin letters were given publicity, it was announced that the change would affect no less than 30,000,000 people of 36 groups within the bounds of Soviet Russia. The change will affect virtuglly all of Russian Central Asia using the Arabic alphabet, including Kazakstan, the Kirghiz Republic, the Caucasus Regions, Tajikistan as well as Mon- golia and the territory inhabited by the Buriats.
