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.
