Bio de Janeiro: Dr. Porto Carreiro Neto,
general secretary of the Brazilian Esperan-
to League, announces a great victory for
Esperanto in his country. The Postal and
Telegraph Department of the Government has
given official recognition of the interna-
tional language by publishing a set of twe-
nty post cards with views of the country,
imprinted in Portugese as the national lan-
guage and Esperanto as the International.
Brazil thus follows the lead of Lichten-
stein and Hungary.

NAZI SPOKESMAN DENIES GERMAN GOVERNMENT
OPPOSES ESPERANTO
NEW YORK ILEARS SANA PREXY
New York City: The Zamenhof Birthday Festi-
val Dinner of the N.Y. Esp. Soc, took place
December 2 at Lychee Garden, 10th Street,
Prof. Hy. W. Hetzel, president of EANA,
spoke to an enthusiastic gathering on "Dr.
L. L. Zamenhof, A Benefactor of Mankind".
Washington, D.C. December 14th. ------
Closing his address with the cry " Vivu
Esperanto", Herr Gerrit von Haeften of the
German Embassy, received tonight an ovation
from 400 Esperantists and guests at the
Zamenhof observance. Herr von Haeften de-
nied that the Nazi government opposed Esp-
eranto; it rather favors  the spread of the
movement and the ideal of harmony thru un-
derstanding.
First diplomat on the program, Mr. Edw.
Weintal of the Polish Legation spoke on the
"Homeland of the Majstro". Senor Don Pedro
Rivero of the 'Venezuelan Legation and Mr.
Tswen Ling Tsui of the Chinese Legation
both spoke on behalf of their respective
governments, strongly favoring the interna-
tional language.
The former Persian Minister here, Dr.
Ali Kuli Kahn, contributed stirring words
urging removal of national barriers.
Entertainment included the Filipino
String Ensemble led by the Esperanto pro-
pagandist, Dr. Mauro Baradi. Other artists
were Ruloph Hcman, violinist; Mrs. J.
Stewart, pianist; Miss Florence King, son-
rano. The junior and senior dramatic cir-
cles presented plays and the Bonegularo
sang.
Mr. Hugh Shatford was introduced as
editor of the Amerika Esperantisto by Gen-
eral Secretary Thomas F. Gaines. Dr. Chas.
Shellhorn was presented as Leader of Friend
of Esperanto.
The Chapter reported an increase in reg-
|ular members during 1933 from 17 to 107.
fjOfficers were elected for 1934: Mr. Ernest
Dodge, president; Mrs. J.C. McDowell and
Mr. Adrieno Kimayong, vice-presidents; Miss
Frieda Thume, recording secy.; Mr. J. Ernest
Smith, corr. secy.; Miss Rose Matera, Treas..
Reappointments were: Max M. Villareal, pub-
licity director; Joseph Leahy, librarian &
supervisor of classes.
The record attendance was largely due
to the Junior Members directed by Miss
Aminda Jo Kruka and to the efforts of Mr.
H.B. Hastings, Mrs. CM. Lewis, Mirs. L. K,
$ogara' and the entire Chapter._________

SCHERER LAYS TUGH OF HIS
SUCCESS TO ESPERANTO AIDS
Returning to recoup before Mb third
U.S. Tour next spring, Jos. R. Scherer,
our world-famous samideano with "the in-
ternational stomach", looks hack on a
most successful second U.S. lecture tour.
While globe-trotting as speciala deligito
de Geneva (I.C.K.) thru 43 countries, his
simplest plan four times out of five was
to lecture in Esperanto. So effective an
entree was Esperanto that he lays to it
much of his success in obtaining the thou-
sands of photos and facts which in turn
makes effective his lectures on the intim-
ate life of foreign peoples. Appreciative
letters have flowed in from such institu-
tions as Texas State College for Women,
State Teachers' College in Springfield,Mo.
and High Schools in Dallas, Texas, Ashland
and Cleveland Hts., Ohio. Scherer's aud-
iences keep his assistant busy selling Es-
peranto keys, 50-200 of which are always
absorbed. S-ro Scherer is Fondinto and
Dumviva Honora Membro of the Esperanto
Club of Los Angeles.
ESPERANTO — SECOND LANGUAGE
"Do you speak Russian?" is invariably fol-
lowed by "Do you speak.Esperanto?" when
Russian, police and customs officials are
questioning new arrivals. So saidMyra Page
newspaper woman just returned from Russia
when lecturing before a liberal group in
Washington, D. C.

STOP, LOOK, LISTEN1.
From Spain comes a letter in
which 'volas' is spelled 'bolas1,
while Esperanto is spelled once
"Espelanto" in a recent magazine
(Far Eastern, of course).  Thus
betraying the unconsious urge to
slide from the true pronunciation
into local or national ones.  We
of Usono should vigilize the
vowels of "kato" "mondo""lundo"
"birdo" etc., avoiding any sem-
blance of short-A in cat, short-0
in font, short-U in blunt, obscure
I in bird.  The value of spoken
Esperanto as a "universala inter-
komprenilo" depends on a clear,
precise pronunciation and en avoid-
ance of the innumerable differences
which make dialect. - - - E.G.D.
LA PREFIKSO "MAL" EN KATALUNA

"En Kataluna lingvo trovigas jenaj

prefikson:
KATALUNE......................... ESPERA1ITE
malagrados .................... malagrabla

Kompreneble la prefikso MAL ne
estas uzata en Kataluna lingvo  lau
la sama reguleco kiu faciligas
ĝian uzon en Esperanto,   sed oni
povas  en Kataluna lernolibro pri
Esperanto,  komprenigi la senoon
de la Esperanta MAL per  tiuj   kaj

t'o promote the auxiliary language and the "internal idea" (harmony thru mutual under-
standing), Esperantists are allied in a national-international organization. The Un-
iversala Esperanto-Asocio operates in English speaking countries of North America as
the Esperanto Association of N. A. The movement is purely educational, hence neutral
in political and religious controversies. Thus it unites persons of most varied con-
ditions and convictions.
