BRITAIN and America, as Oscar Wilde saw it, are two countries divided by the same language. No one would agree with Wilde more than a Swedish lexicographer immersed in a mighty labor of scholarship that has occupied his last 26 years and will not be completed for at least another two.

The Government is determined, he said, to "blow the whistle impartially on labor and business" for any moves "that threaten economic stability and expansion."
