VORTOJ    DE   LA    PREZIDANTO
Estas mia agrabla devo, kiel nova prezidanto de EANA saluti la Esperantistaron de
Ameriko.  Mi intencas alparoli la membrojn diversfoje dum la jaro en la paĝoj de la
Amerika Esperantisto.
Ke mia elekto estis ciu-voĉa multe min surprizis, car rni nenie faris privatajn au ora-
torajn promesojn. Pakte mi antaŭvidis, ke unu el la multaj plisaĝaj, pliaĝaj, grizka-
paj samideanoj de Usono elektigjos al tiu laborplena honoro.
Sed la esperoj plenfide esprimitaj de diversaj oratoroj dum la kongresa bankedo mon-
tris al mi ke oni atendas miraklojn de la nova prezidanto.
Nu, miraklojn mi ne povas fari, sed nun, post la elekto, mi volonte promesas, labori
lau miaj plej fortaj kapabloj por la revivigo de la Esperanto-movado de Ameriko. Sed
tio estas ebla nur loan kaj per la helpo de la tuta fidela gesamideanaro.
La tuta armeo de Zamenhofanoj devas sin prepari ^or novaj atakoj. Kaj se ciu samid-
eano, konvinkita pri la utilo de nia lingvo por la homaro, staros sur sia posteno,
tiam certe ni vidos miraklon.
Ni ne plendu pri la malgrandeco de nia armeo. Hi povas trovi pliajn soldatojn, izol-
ulojn kaj timemulojn. Vivas en Usono pli ol mil gesamideanoj kiuj devus denove aligi
al EANA. Ni iru kaj trovu ilin, die, ĉirkati ni, en niaj propraj urboj. Nia unua
tasko estas ilin inspiri al tuja re-aliĝo al la membrolisto de EANA.
Poste ni havos la tempon kaj devon ekipi ilin per pli bona gramatika scio, per novaj
entuziasmaj pafiloj, kaj per pli forta propaganda municio. Sed unue ili devas denove
aliĝi.  Ilia aona kaj nombra helpo estas urge bezonata antatf la forpaso de la autuno.
Tiam kun pli granda armeo la estraro povas diri al mondo> Ni travivis la krizon! Ni
denove estas batalpretaj!
prof. Henry W. Eetzel, kiu dum dek jaroj, kaj tra la terura krizo fidele servis kiel
prezidanto de SANA, elektiĝis Honora Prezidanto. Estis kortuŝa momento, kiam akcept-
ante la honoron, li promesis esti eĉ pli aktiva kaj pli energia varbanto por EANA -
spite de la nova titolo.
A
Samideanoj tra tuta Usono!  Junuloj kaj grizharuloj!  Cu vi ne volas fari similan
rezolucion? Cu vi ne volas promesi helpi al la nova prezidanto pligrandigi la membro-
list'pn? Cu vi konsentas klopodi, ke vi alportos, antau la fino de la atftuno, au se
eble jam dum la somero almenau unu plian membron al EANA por ke nia nacia asocio de-
nove ekfloru kaj prosperull?

Amerika Esperantisto________           July-August  1S35__________American Esperantist
BACK      FROM     NEW     YORK
Who said New York was cold, reserved, inhospitable?? They had not met the Esperantists
of the community: We, from the hinterland, arriving on Sunday (June 30), were given
an open-hearted informal reception that thoroughly banished all thought of strangeness
or uncertainty as to our welcome. After noting the beneficent smiles that wreathed
the benevolent countenances of Mrs. and Mr. Eby, Mrs. Quinlan, Mrs. Fellows, Mrs» and
Mr.Sayre, Mr. Dormont and Mr. Maury, that delightful evening in the Hotel New Yorker,
we could, and did, retire with pleasant anticipations that a successful meeting was
assured -- and we were not disappointed. The Congress Committee had left nothing un-
done - the selection of Headquarters - Hotel New Yorker, with its splendid appoint-
ments and service - even the weather was ideal (indicating close communion with the
powers above). Among the Sunday arrivals we noted such 'high light{ in Esperantujo,
as Henry W« Hetzel, Philadelphia; Joseph R. Scherer, Los Angeles - and the world
beyond; Mrs. C. Fosselraan, E. G. Dodge and H. B. Hastings, Washington, D. C; Fred H.
McMann, Troy N. Y.; Lee Stern and the Simons Bros, of Cleveland, Ohio; Alfred J.
IJoessler, Toronto and Mrs. Dagmar Bagger, New Haven, Conn.
July 1, at 9:15 a.m. (D.S.Time), President Henry W. Hetzel introduced Mr. Louis I .
Comstock, President of the Merchants Association of How York, who outlined, in con-
siderable detail, the discoveries and inventions of utilities for the betterment of
mankind, going quite deeply into that need of mankind that has persistently called
for improvement since "The confusion of Tongues" on the Tower of Babel -- language.
He cited the fundamentals of language in general, and the particular need of an inter-
national medium of communication - a need which was being rapidly taken care of by the
unparalleled production of that prince of linguistic geniuses - Dr. L- L. Zamenhof,
after which he extended the greetings of his Association.  Mr. Paul Moss, License
Commissioner, representing Mayor LaGuardia, in a few short, sweet remarks, welcomed
the Esperanto Association to the City. All of which, of course, was greeted with
applause.  Mr. Hetzel, in his usual happy style, thanked the speakers.  After a cred-
entials committee had decided on "Who's Who", the Secretary read -fragmentarily- min-
utes of the 27th Congress, and gave combined report of Secretary and Treasurer (the
latter being absent).  Accepted. Samuel C# Eby, President of the New York Esperanto
Society, in a few words (but every word freighted with hospitality) extended a cord-
ial welcome to the delegates.  Mr. James F. Morton, Paterson, N. J., in his usual
delightful manner greeted the Congress in behalf of The Bahai Movement in America.
Greetings were given from the following places, personally by: Jos. R. Scherer, Calif.
Fred A. Hamann, Wisconsin. Rev. Giles H. Sharpley, Iowa. Rev» Everard Thomson, Penna.
Lee D. Stern, Ohio.  E, G» Dodge, Washington, B.C.  Miss Kate Plamplin, Texas.  J. J.
Sussmuth, Toronto, Greetings by wire: Berthold Schmidt, Tampa, Fla. V7m. Plamplin,
San Antonio, Texas. I. C. Pellet, Brattleboro, Vermont. Dr. Lehman Wendell, Minneapolis.
World Club Union, Hew York City»  Pola Esperanta Asocio, Detroit»  Greetings by letter::
Itala Esperanto Federacio, Milan, Italy» Arthur Brooks Baker (Founder of the "Ameri-
can Esperantist") Los Angeles, California» G» Winthrop Lee, Concord, Mass.  Rev. John
H. Fazel (Head of the Young Peoples Department) Topeka, Kansas.
Resolutions, and Nominating Committees were appointed, to think over matters in their
respective lines the balance of the meeting.
Secretary said there was not as many names on the mailing list as on '33-'34 list,
but that those on it paid for being there - no 'dead heads'.  Also spoke of the de-
moralizing effects of the "New Deal Drive» of '33-'34 -- when for One Dollar, you
were given - or offered - membership in EANA and UEA, a supply of books and seals -
and in some cases, an'extension of six months membership.  Some got everything, others
nothing but the receipt for the Dollar. None of the recruits caught by that bait have
renewed, and many of the old members who took advantage of the "bargain" refuse to
return -- the gist of their justification being "if it could be done during the de-

pression, it surely can be done now, with prosperity here "(either Rip Van Winkle
still snoozing, or some of the subtle family). When it came time for the reading of
the reports from absentee committee chairmen, Mr, Dodge (Chairman of the Exec. Coram.)
came nobly to the rescue of the Secretary - as he has done on many occasions - and
read the reports of: Publication Coram. - Prof. A. Konngott, Austin, Tex. and Examina-
Comm. - Prof. Edwin L.Clarko, Winter Park, Fla. Young Peoples Dept. - Rev. John H.
Fazel, (80 years young), Topeka Kan. Mr, H.B. Hastings, Chairman of the Finance Comm,
read his report, stating that while it was not quite what he wished, still he iras hope-
ful - the winds were being tempered somewhat to the shorn lambs - or words to that
effect.  Mr. Joseph R. Scherer, Chairman of the Propoganda Committee, told of his man,,'
lectures, which though not given as lectures on, or for Esperanto, nevertheless alway
brought in Esperanto as the principal element in attaining his objective while explor
ing in foreign lands. Mr. Scherer elaborated on the suggestion, carried in Prof.
Clarke's Report, that all who possibly could, should take the examinations. All
approved.  Prof. Fred A. Hamann was unanimously chosen as official delegate to the
Universal Congress in Rome, Italy, August 3-10.
President Hetzel explained some of the 'workings' of the "Spertularo" - to take place
in the evening - and the dire possibilities of any deviation from the straight and
narrow paths of Esperanto — later - even some of the best swerved slightly, but paid
the penalty (5c!) cheerfully. At 12:40 we adjourned to feed.
Afternoon. - The resignation of Henry W. Hetzel, as President, to take effect at end
of the Congress, was read by the Secretary.  After some discussion and many express-
ions of regret, resignation was accepted.  The motion by Mr. Dodge, that Mr. Hetzel
be elected Honorary President was unanimously accepted.  Mr. Hetzel assured the Con-
gress of his continued interest and activity in the movement. Resolutions were pre-
sented by Joseph Dubin for the introduction of Esperanto into the Government Depart-
ments, and also its adoption by Boards of Education as a regular study. At this point
in response to the fulsome pleadings of Press photographers for photos of the more or
less handsome Estraro, a recess was taken while the crime was being perpetrated-those
involved as accessories: H. W« Hetzel, J, 1-1. Scherer, E. G. Dodge, H. B. Hastings and
viaj sek. The matter of the American Esperanto-Academy an institution patterned some-
what after, the Esperanto-Institutoj of other countries was discussed. After a pro-
lixity of words the idea was approved. Mr» Frank Sutch told us, most glowingly, of
the pre-eminence of Atlantic City -- and the Majestic Hotel - as the place for our
29th Congress. Mr. Matheson was equally certain of the much better opportunities for
comfort and happiness at the Palmer House, in Chicago. Mayor Frank Couzens and the
Board of Commerce of Detroit wired that Detroit was THE place, and they were waiting
for us with open arms.  Miami, Fla., wants us there next summer and promises to make
the proper intercession to have the weather just right. In fact we've been informed
of enough places - each far exceeding any others in attractiveness - so that, if thej
wish, each delegate can have one all to hi.-i(her) self,  Still the Exec, Comm. has an
open mind, and'will listen for further applications. Here we quit for a space, to
feed and gain strength for the coming ordeal of the "Spertularo" - details of which
are too delightful -- let those who were there (I was not) tell it.
Another JJay. - First order of business was action on the proposed Amendments of the
Constitution (Oh, yes we have a contitution and our president respects it.) See
report on another page.
In the afternoon we were conducted through Radio City. The views and many demonstra-
tions of operations in the National Broadcasting Company's department and the wonder-
ful panorama of the city and surrounding country, as seen from tho top of this 70

storied structure, amply repaid all who took advantage of the generosity of the pro-
moters.  The trip concluded with an hour of entertainment in Poetry Center, Mrs.
Cora Fellows gave two very interesting readings, Rita Sadagursky (aged 7) and Helen
Solloi (10) recited splendidly in Esperanto.  Mr. Sayre gave a short, but very inter-
esting, summary of the inception and conduct of Poetry Center under direction of Miss
Anita Brown.  The Public Meeting in Congress Hall at 8 was well attended by Esperan-
tists and' their friends.  An illustrated lecture "Travel in Japan, with the aid of
Esperanto" by Mr. Joseph R« Scherer, was enthusiastically received.  One lady ques-
tioned the assertion that "no cherries followed the beautiful blossoms on the Cherry
Tree". He assured her that it was not any stranger than the American Dogwood blossoms,
- but no dog. Prof. Thatcher Clark'of the Clark School of Languages, demonstrated
the "Rythmic Method" of language teaching, in a very amazing as well as instructive
manner -- one auditor remarking "Prof. Clark makes the funniest pictures with his
mouth" - they were illustrated sound pictures.  Much interest was sho\vn in the Book
Table, presided over by Rugama Bonesper, who was tireless in his willingness to ex-
plain the good things in the many books displayed.  A short address by Mr. Hetsel
closed a very enjoyable day.
Last Day. - Mr. Dodge read a list of members who had passed examinations Por Kapableco,
furnished by Prof. Clarke, who wanted the addresses of those whose whereabouts was
unknown to him, People who have been sufficiently ambitious to study enough to pass
an examination, are too valuable assets of the movement to lose track of, and it is
the desire of the Estraro that any one knov/ing any of those people, to try to win them
back to the fold, or at least notify the Central Office of their whereabouts.  The
President was instructed to write letters of sympathy to the relatives of recently
deceased members.  The Exec. Comm. was instructed to get in touch with the Post Office
Department, on the subject of the issue of an Esperanto Jubilee Commerative Postage
Stamp for 1937.
On various motions, of the kind that start out with: "The Secretary be instructed to
purchase, with funds from the Treasury", the Secretary repeatedly called attention
to the painful fact that "there was no such animal" as 'funds' - the income always
being less than even the expense of getting out the "Amerika Esperantisto" -- much
of the expenses were paid out of the pockets of a few more or less willing victims —
the alumnus who sings of dying forThfLEr "Dear Old Alma Mater", are pikers compared
with a real Esperantist, when it comes to what they will do for "dear old Zam".
Eventually these interruptions resulted in the suggestion that an example for home
collectors be set by the Congress, in response to which there was a stampede towards
the rostrum by our nabobs, v/ho deposited before the Secretary about steenteen dollars.
Secretary reported that he had moved the office(Notu la novan adreson - 1517 H Street
N. W.) which now will cost double the rental paid the past 18 months - the item of
rent is not on the EANA records -Secretary pays that, in addition to furnishing all
the office equipment - and much of the other expense.  The following officers were
elected - each on a single ballot cast by the Secretary:- President - to fill out
term of the resigned Hetzel, -- one year - Joseph R. Scherer, Los Angeles, California.
Vice-President - James F. Morton, Paterson, W. J. - 2 years.  Treasurer, Miss A.
Josephine Krulca, Washington, D» C. - re-elected for 2 years. Secretary Joseph Leahy
and Ass't Secretary Gerald F. Small, are hold-overs, elected in 1934 for 2 years.
Resolutions of thanks were enthusiastically voted to the Congress Committee, the New
York, Brooklyn, Harmonic- and Bergen County Esperanto Societies, the Hotel New Yorker
management and The Press, for their splendid co-operation in making the Congress a
success. And that's that.  The Banquet, v/ith tables (4) arranged to form the letter
E, started at 7, with 60 Malsatuloj seated. After partaking of two and a half dollars
worth of groceries etc», and'the assemblage seemed strong enough to appreciate it

the speechifying began.  The opening address by Mr, James F. Morton and his reading
of the Congress poem» by H« I. Keyes, amply repaid every one who had to wait so long
for a chance to listen - Oh yes, J. F„ M. can come again, and all who have heard him
will wish to bring a friend,  «La Blanka Vualo" was dramatically recited by Morris
Bortnick. Bortnick is also an artist with the brush, as all who saw the splendid
painting of Dr. Zamenhof, and the banner of Welcome to the Delegates, on the back
wall, will testify. Princess Lillian Red Wing, full-blood American, of the Winnebago
Indians, Wisconsin, spoke, (in clearest English), very entertainingly of her exper-
iences, and demonstrated the Sign Language of the Indians - their method of communi-
cating with Indians of different languages -- the difference between the languages of
Indian Tribes (nations) is as varied as that of the different European National Lan-
guages.
Recitations in Esperanto, were given by Rita Sadagursky and Helen Solloi, after which
they were presented, by Princess Red Wing, with Indian bracelets. Miss Gay Lee,
Hearst Radios - Station WINS, spoke of radio activities and the potentialties of
Esperanto therewith. Short addresses were made by Dr. A. Me Schwager and Rugama
Bonesper, Esperante,  Mr. Sayre happily recalled some of the "greats" and'hear greats"
past and present, of Esperantujo --of how he carried, in his mind for many years, the
idea that our Vice-President was a poet - he apologized and Mr. Morton, with his well-
known characteristic magnanimity, gave him a full pardon» The singing of Mrs. Fellows
translation of the "Isle of Capri" ("Insul* de Kapri") was a treat. The closing
speech was in Esperanto, by president Scherer9 who called attention to the great
strides being made by the Esperanto movement, its power for good, in bringing the
world closer together by mutual understanding» the Internal Idea which was such a
powerful element in connection with the kara lingvo in imbuing the student of Esper-
anto with the spirit of co-operation.  He stressed the need of additional members and
the duty of every real Esperantist to enlist at least one of his friends in the move-
ment.
Our grand old Hymn "Espero" is entitled to considerable sympathy for the mistake of
some one, in calling for its singing when, apparently, the singers had not arrived.
A few of those present did their best, assisted at the piano by Charlie Simons --
the flesh was willing but the voices were weak.  Every Esperantist should practice,
not only speaking the language, but singing its Hymn.
Owing to mechanical difficulties, Mr. Hugh Shatford, Washington, D. C, had to post-
pone his phonographic demonstra.iion of a 15 minute play "Tezo Perdita", which had
made quite a hit over the radio (W 0 L) in Washington. With slight change, this
sketch can be used anywhere.
The real significance of those old, well-known terms;  "Manna from Heaven" and "Balm
of Gilead" was thoroughly appreciated by the Central Office, when that sweet little
check came from the Congress Committee, calling for the left-over cash, after paying
Congress expenses»  To a treasury getting used to a feeling of opulence any time it
saw an amount over a dollar» that check looked like a MILLION.  Of course, it quick-
ly developed other characteristics of Manna»
Just in meeting Rev, Giles H. Sharpley you had the complete answer to "how is it that
the whole city of Waverly, Iowa - even the Postmaster and the Police force, is study-
ing Esperanto". Meeting that smiling, jovial bunch - Lee Stern, Charlie and Edgar
Simons - you at once began to anticipate what a glorious time you will have if and

Only those of the angels could compete with the happy smiles of Mr»  and Mrs.  Nat
Sadagursky when their sweet little daughter was winning the hearts, and applause,  of
her auditors?     How could they help it??????
You had to he a lightning artist to catch Lev/ Maury - though his work as Chairman of
the Congress  Comn.  was supposed to  end with  the beginning of the Congress, he was
indefatigable in moving about to see that evex-ything was right»    And no one could
possibly lose  sight  of the fact  that the  ladies  of that  committee were  'on  the  job'   -
Mrs.  Sby was so devoted to her part - getting the money -fixing the donor with an
enchanting smile - and the insignia that was necessary to carry them through the
'works',  that she had no  opportunity of visiting the  'Talking Chamber'   until  'The
Big Feed'   on the last evening.    Where ever you  looked you saw either Mrs.  Quir.lan or
Mrs. Fellows,  or both, making sure that any little 3pots, that might have been over-
looked by the fleeting Maury, were covered,  and that everything was being done for
the happiness of all.
And do not  —you cannot— forget that large, handsome,  smiling gentlemen  - Sam Eby,
whose all-embracing good-natured smile compelled the answering smile,  and made you

How can the genial Harry Hetzel sit in an audience, hereafters,  and refrain from tell-
ing 'em "you will please come to order»,   "the chair rules otherwise»,   etc,  and in-

The seven proposed amendments published in our April number were referred by the Kon-
greso to an able and sympathetic committee» consisting of James F« Morton of Paterson,

The Committee reported favorably on all seven proposals, except in recommending alter-
ation or omission at three points» The Committee recommendations -- further de-
veloped in one instance by motion from the floor — were one by one unanimously adopt-
ed. Hence the proposed amendments which you can read by referring back to your April
"Amerika Esperantisto" are now a part of our Constitution except as explained below.

sonally be members of E.A.N.As, omits language which would have extended that require-
ment to chairmen of standing committees.
Art. IV, Sec. 3, which reorganizes the Executive Committed so as to include both the
Fresident and the General Secretary, is made to end with a sentence which establishes
the President as ex officio Chairman of the Committee except for any period when the
President may designate another committee member to act as Chairman in his place.
In Art. VII, Sec. 3, the proposal published in April included four changes, shown in
capital letters. Only the first and third of these were adopted. It still remains
the rule, therefore, that proxies cannot be used to give unrestricted voting power
to the one holding them, but can be counted only in accordance with specific advance
instructions written in by the givers of the proxies.
Since the Constitution of E.A.N.A. has never been reprinted in full since the pamph-
let edition of many years ago, it is hoped to give our members in an early issue of
"American Esperantist" the full text of our Association's Constitution as it stands
in effect today.

Association to make contact with and propagandize in every suitable manner influen-

Be it further resolved that the Esperanto Association of North America shall urge

associations or groups of citizens within their local or state communities;
And the officers of this Association are hereby instructed to carry this resolution

A RESOLUTION FOR THE ADOPTION OF ESPERANTO
WHEREAS civilization progresses through the invention and adoption of tools adapted
to its purposes; and
WHEREAS the further progress of civilization requires the adoption of instruments
helpful in the furtherance of peaceful and friendly relations between peoples; and
WHEREAS the experience of history indicates that language barriers constitute a
serious obstacle to understanding and friendship between nations; and
WHEREAS the history and experience of the Esperanto movement show that a secondary
and neutral international language, such as Esperanto, is an effective instrument
for the development of such"understanding and friendship, and
WHEREAS the United States Ambassador to Belgium, Honorable DaVe H. Morris, has de-
clared that a diplomat however familiar with a foreign language, is always at a dis-
advantage with one who speaks it as a native, and that from this inexorable psychol-
ogical law situations result that are sometimes ludicrous and sometimes serious, and
has urged the teaching and adoption of a neutral language such as Esperanto, to which
all nations have equal claims; and
WHEREAS the navies and merchant vessels of all countries have found a common signal
code to be essential to the safety of both ships and passengers, and

at the YoM.C.A. for the past 10 weeks closeAJune 27th with an English-Esperanto pro-
gram. A short Esperanto talk was given by Dr. W.J. Robb who first brought Esperanto

others met in weekly session to study the new international language. Rev, J.H. Fazel

ESPERANTO PLAY "TEZO PERDITA" was prepared in script by the "Radio Workshop in Wash-
ington, D,C. Hugh Shatford, active in local club, collaborated, and then took a part
in the play when it was broadcast over W 0 L, June 27th.  Several of the cast joined
classes, as repitition of the excellent propaganda points in the play convinced them
of the value of Esperanto.  A recording of the play was auditioned at W I N S radio
station - New York City - at Congress time by Mr. Thomas, program director, who rec-
ommended it as worthy subject for the air. A large percent of the script is in Eng-
lish- copies are available at Central Office, 15^ postpaid.  The Radio Workshop was
formed at the suggestion of the local Esperanto Club, to remind Washington, and vic-
inity listeners of Community Center Activities -- one of which is Esperanto instruc-
tion.  The Workshop is under the direction of Miss Alice Kieth.
Mr, Hugh Shatford is teaching the Esperanto class in Central High School by the
"Rythm" method, as demonstrated at the N. Y. Congress by Prof. Thatcher Clark of the
Clark School of Languages, Broadway, New York.  Prof. Clark is an Esperanto enthusi*
ast, who lets the fact be known, in his language broadcasts over W 0 R (Newark, N.J.)
of French Rythmic and "Four Languages-at-Once«.  It's great - that's what they all say
whose perceptive faculties are right.

DR. TOBIAS SIGEL, the "Grand Old Man» of Esperanto, celebrated his 73rd Birthday, May
14th - those who know him say he could easily pass for 50. He mastered the Esperanto
language many years ago, and has for years taken a very helpful interest in the Esp-
eranto Movement. He has practiced medicine in Detroit over 46 years - is the "Grand
Old Man" of the Medical Profession there, where he was City Physician in 1900. His
chief interests aside from his profession and Esperanto are his six grandchildren,
and his summer home at Lake Orion.  At his 72nd birthday a friend wrote a feeling
tribute, which began, with these verses:
The fourteenth of May and seventy-two,                      Alike the friend of rich and poor
Your natal day, a pleasant thought.                            You never shirk a kindly deed.
There's many a treasure wrapped in you,        The limelight never hold a lure,
With the whole worlds riches can't be bought.   The Golden Rule, your only creed.
You shake the hand of black or white,
You never question creed or race.
Your conscience says you're doing right
When you behold their smiling face.

For I dipped into the future,  far an human eye could sea,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be,
Till the war-drum throbbed no  longer, and the battle flags were furled
In the parliament of man, the Federation of the world.
Then the common sense of most shall hold a fretful realm, in awe,
And the kindly earth shall slumber,  lapped in universal law.
Not  in vain the distance beacona.    Forward, forward let us range.
Let the great world spin forever down the ringing grooves of change.
(Translation by Seman Tarano.)

Eh  la Parlament'   homara,  en la Mond-Federaci'.

The Des  Moines"   (Iowa)    Register-Sunday,  July7 1935, carries  a page review of the

ridiculous»    There are so many facts connected with Esperanto that any deviation is
entirely uncalled for.    Me doff our hat to the writer, and the "Register"1.
"Ehila Evening Bullentin"    July 8, 1935- THE HOPE OF E3PERANT0-
" Meeting in New York of the Esperanto Association of North America ia a reminder of the
continued enthusiastic activity of these adepts  in an artificial tongue proposed as
a universal language, not in the sense of supplanting other tongues, but of supple-
menting them and becoming a common means of communication among men of normally
diverse speech.''
"ii is  the well-nigh universal vogue of English,  that is  a main obstacle to  the suc-
cess of any attempt to popularize as an international language any artificial sub-
stitute,.   Eut since its  introduction by Zamenhof,  in 1887Ĵ Esperanto has acquired
an enthusiastic following in  every land;   it has a substantial literature and zealous
advocates who hope to have it offset  the misadventure of Babel,  and by promoting
understanding among the nations serve the cause of peace*/'
