in a bulletin recently issued bj the international fixed calendar league from london england whether definite action is in sight as anticipated by the league cr not 1s31 will be marked by a gathering of delegates of all the governments of the world at gen eva in october for the purpose of determining whether an im proved calendar should be univers ally established and when and how is should be made effective defects of the present calendar are legion according to a state ment by the league fundament ally these are 1 the lack of equality in the lengths of months 2 the fact that months do not contain a whole number of weeks 3 that the days of the week shift each year to different dates and 4 that the dates for easterwhit- suntide and the other holidays are changed each year national committees formed the need for a revision of some kind seems to be pretty generally admitted on the basis that the ir regularities of the present calendar are plainly evident annoying and costly committees have been or ganized for some time in most european countries and in brazil chile mexico china japan and the united states where question naires have been sent out in tens of thousands in order to ascertain public opinion in the matter in some countries notably in ger many great britain ireland and the united states committees have been active in educational work the usa committee has already reported that american opinion is favorable to calendar reform and that the proposed 13month year is preferred it is stated that at the end of 1930 more than iis com panies in that country had adopted the system while hundreds of en quiries have been received for in formation as to how 13month calendars for private corporations are operated in france the committee ap pointed by the national economic council an ollicial body over which the premier presides completed its study of the subject during the past year and recorded its pref erence for the 13month calendar german railway educational and other authorities have reported in favor of the plan in great britain it is stated many business and labor organizations have been al ready impelled by the defects of the present calendar to use four- week periods instead of months while since july 1 1930 post ollice settlements between all nations have been paid in fourweek periods it is further reported that vital statisics and health records are now kept by the league of nations and all nations in four- week periods defects of present system advocates of calendar reform before the league of nations cite the following as the principal de fects of our present system first the divisions of the year the months quarters and half- years are of unequal lengths months vary from 28 to 31 days quarters from 90 to 92 days while the first halfyear therefore con tains two or three days less than the second these inequalities cause confusion and uncertainty in accenting statistics and schedules while comparisons are difficult and inaccurate second the calendar is not fixed changing every year each year be gins on a different day or the week the exact reproduction of the calendar of any year takes place every 28th year hence peri odical events cannot be fixed with precision third constant shifting of the number of working days in months causes continuous confusion at present the difference between various months is as high as 19 per cent workers are troubled by the unequal intervals between dates for pay days and those whea rents and monthly installments are due the fifth weeks groceries would never have to be bought out of the same monthly salaries or allowances if the new calendar were instituted three plans suggested out of the many plans for im proving the calendar which have been submitted to the league of nations there are exactly three which are likely to receive serious consideration the others are re garded as too absurb or too revolu tionary to get widespread support the first promoted by a british railroad man is the socalled thir teen months plan which ingenious ly provides that every month shall be exactly alike consisting ot twentyeight days and beginning on sunday at the end of the year the odd 365th day would be known as year day an international holi day with no place in either the monthly or weekly programme the name of the new month would be sol between june and juy february of this year is cited as the perfect month commencing on sunday the first and ending on saturday the twentyeight the adoption of standard 2sday months would mean that the same date in any of the proposed 13 months would fall upon the same day of the week both the current day and date could be constantly recorded on clocks and watches a second suggested change known as the swiss plan is less revolu tionary it provides a twelvemonth calendar in which each quarter is identical the first two months of each quarter are to have thirty lays each and the last month thirtyone days the last day of the year as in the first scheme would be a year day holiday the third scheme which owes its arrangement to an american and which is sponsored by a body of representative scientists educators and labor leaders through their membership in the world calendar association is generally regarded as the plan which presents the few est obstacles to universal adoption it suggests twelve mouths divided into four quarters of exactly equal length supplemented by an extra year day at the end of the fourth quarter which would be in effect a double saturday combining with new years day into a three or fourday rest period this plan pro vides that the first month of each quarter shall contain thirtyone days and the two following months thirty days each it thereby im proves on the swiss plan
