The association was set up with Sahashi as chief and collected around 2,000 yen from each employee's monthly salary to build up a fund for congratulatory and condolence payments as well as trips organized for employees, the investigations showed. The fund was run separately from the company's accounts and controlled by Murata and others. ＮＯＶＡ元社長ら 横領で逮捕 経営が破たんした英会話学校「ＮＯＶＡ」で社員が福利厚生のために積み立てていた３億円余りを猿橋望元社長らが解約者への返還金に流用していたとして、大阪府警察本部は、猿橋元社長ら２人を業務上横領の疑いで逮捕しました。 逮捕されたのは、去年１０月に経営破たんした英会話学校「ＮＯＶＡ」の元社長、猿橋望容疑者（５６）と、当時ＮＯＶＡで経理を担当していた村田利彦容疑者（４９）の２人です。警察の調べによりますと、猿橋元社長は、村田容疑者に指示をして、ＮＯＶＡの社員が毎月１０００円から３０００円給料から天引きして福利厚生のために積み立てていた３億２０００万円を勝手にＮＯＶＡの口座に移して流用したとして、業務上横領の疑いが持たれています。ＮＯＶＡは、事実と異なる説明で受講生を勧誘していたとして、去年６月、経済産業省から一部の業務について停止命令を受けたことなどにより、この時期、解約が相次ぎ、猿橋元社長は流用した３億２０００万円を解約者への授業料の返還に充てたとみられています。調べに対し、猿橋元社長は容疑を一部否認しているということで、警察は、当時のＮＯＶＡの経営状態を詳しく調べ、猿橋元社長らの不正流用の実態解明を進める方針です。 |

 | Prago Manifesto (esperanto) 1. DEMOCRACY. Any system of communication which confers lifelong privileges on some while requiring others to devote years of effort to achieving a lesser degree of competence is fundamentally antidemocratic. While Esperanto, like any language, is not perfect, it far outstrips other languages as a means of egalitarian communication on a world scale. We maintain that language inequality gives rise to communicative inequality at all levels, including the international level. We are a movement for democratic communication. 2. GLOBAL EDUCATION. All ethnic languages are bound to certain cultures and nations. For example, the child who learns English learns about the culture, geography and political systems of the English-speaking world, primarily the United States and the United Kingdom. The child who learns Esperanto learns about a world without borders, where every country is home. We maintain that education in any language is bound to a certain view of the world. We are a movement for global education. 3. EFFECTIVE EDUCATION. Only a small percentage of foreign-language students attain fluency in the target language. In Esperanto, fluency is attainable even through home study. Various studies have shown that Esperanto is useful as a preparation for learning other languages. It has also been recommended as a core element in courses in language awareness. We maintain that the difficulties in learning ethnic languages will always be a barrier for many students who would benefit from knowing a second language. We are a movement for effective language learning. 4. MULTILINGUALISM. The Esperanto community is almost unique as a worldwide community whose members are universally bilingual or multilingual. Every member of the community has made the effort to learn at least one foreign language to a communicative level. In many cases this leads to a love and knowledge of several languages and to broader personal horizons in general. We maintain that the speakers of all languages, large and small, should have a real chance of learning a second language to a high communicative level. We are a movement for providing that opportunity to all. 5. LANGUAGE RIGHTS. The unequal distribution of power between languages is a recipe for permanent language insecurity, or outright language oppression, for a large part of the world's population. In the Esperanto community the speakers of languages large and small, official and unofficial meet on equal terms through a mutual willingness to compromise. This balance of language rights and responsibilities provides a benchmark for developing and judging other solutions to language inequality and conflict. We maintain that the wide variations in power among languages undermine the guarantees, expressed in many international instruments, of equal treatment regardless of language. We are a movement for language rights. 6. LANGUAGE DIVERSITY. National governments tend to treat the great diversity of languages in the world as a barrier to communication and development. In the Esperanto community, however, language diversity is experienced as a constant and indispensable source of enrichment. Consequently every language, like every biological species, is inherently valuable and worthy of protection and support. We maintain that communication and development policies which are not based on respect and support for all languages amount to a death sentence for the majority of languages in the world. We are a movement for language diversity. 7. HUMAN EMANCIPATION. Every language both liberates and imprisons its users, giving them the ability to communicate among themselves but barring them from communication with others. Designed as a universally accessible means of communication, Esperanto is one of the great functional projects for the emancipation of humankind Ñ one which aims to let every individual citizen participate fully in the human community, securely rooted in their local cultural and language identity yet not limited by it. We maintain that exclusive reliance on national languages inevitable puts up barriers to the freedoms of expression, communication and association. We are a movement for human emancipation. |
