      I wish to underline
 915021200  0131  0 725011 1
     the need for some new
 915021200  0111  0 626011 1
     provisional theory of
 915021200  0111  0 626011 1
    translation--new in the
 915021200  0 91  0 527011 1
      sense that it should
 915021200  0121  0 726011 1
      be diagnostic rather
 915021200  0121  0 726011 1
        than hortatory,
 915021200  0171  0 923011 1
  concerned with actualities.

    It is not the principles

 915021200  0131  0 725011 1
