Central Office V0L. 48 NO. 13_____________Subscription Cj 1.00 per Year November 1935 VORTOJ DE LA PREZI DAN TO KIOM VALORAS ESPERANTO? Dum mia mondvojagado tra k7 landoj mi vidis multajn Esper- antistojn en landoj riSaj kaj malpli ricaj. Okaze mi renkontis en Usono samideanojn kun konstantaj salajroj kiuj diris al mi ke ili "ne povas" pagi kotizojn al la nacia kaj internacia Esperanto-organizoj, ofte "ec ne" por la nacia sole. Sed mi vojagis en landoj kie ekzistas samideanoj kiuj ricevas salajron de nur $10.00 gis $15.00 por laboro de tuta monato en privataj oficejoj aS ec en postoficejoj. Per tiuj malaltaj salajroj ili devas vivteni tutan familion, sed tamen, ili estas fidel- aj membroj de Esperanto-societoj. En tiuj landoj la kotizoj por la loka, nacia kaj internacia Esperanto-organizoj signifas la salajron de unu gis du semajnoj. En Norda Ameriko certe ne ekzistas multaj samideanoj kiuj ricevas tian malaltan sal- ajron - eĉ ne por la laboro de unu semajno. La plej multaj samideanoj en nia terit- orio devas labori nur unu au^t'agojn por gajni la necesan monon por pagi la Esperanto- kotizojn kaj ec por aboni diversajn Esperanto-gazetojn. Post la supraj konsideroj certe neniu samideano plu hezitos slspezi almenau $1.50 por la membreco en la nacia asocio (ail se eble $2.75 kun la plena membreco en UEA kaj la jarlibro). Cu Esperanto ne TIOM valoras al vi? Jam nun Esperanto estas tre utila ilo por multmiloj da gesamideanoj en multaj landoj. Jam nun Esperanto vivas kaj servas al la homaro. Armeo da gesamideanoj rilatas amike inter, multaj diversaj nacioj. Jam nun Esperanto estas internacia lingvo - ec se ne ciuj homoj gin parolas. Ne ciuj homoj komprenas la anglan lingvon. Tamen gi estas internacia lingvo en certaj rondoj. Simile la franca kaj la germana lingvoj estas internaciaj lingvoj en aliaj rondoj. A O Ne ciuj homoj komprenas muziknotojn. Ne cHuj povas kompreni axb, nek HO. Spite de tio tiuj tri signolingvoj estas internaciaj lingvoj. Ili estas ege utilaj al la ed- ukita mondo. Same ankaii Esperanto jam nun estas faktero en la moderna vivo. Jam hodiau saĝaj homoj ne plu ridas pri Esperanto. Ni Esperantistoj scias ke nia lingvo estos iam pli utila kaj pli valora al la hamaro ol la automobiloj, ŝipoj kaj eS la aeroplanoj. Esperanto estos tiel granda beno kiel ni hodiau ec ne povas imagi. A A Kiam ni tiel pensas pri nia nobla idealo ni tuj konscias ke sur niaj sultroj kusas granda repondeco. Ni scias ke nia generacie ne plene povos profiti de la pli poste generate parolata internacia lingvo per kiu ni laboras. Ni ankau scias el propra sperto ke Esperanto, per sia interna forto, faras fratojn el fremduloj, kaj amikojn el malamikoj. Ĉu do ne estas nia aankta devo fari NIAN PART0N por la disvastigo de tiu lingvo? Niaj nepoj nin benosi A Cu unu tago?? Cu ne valoras oferi al tia grandioza movado la salajron de unu semajno, au almenau JLAJLSv f/ JOSEPH R. SCHERER Car evidente multaj gesamideqnoj tute forgesis KIAM ili denove devis pagi siajn kot- izojn, laŭ mia peto, informo pri tio estas sendata al la koncernaj gesamideanoj inter la pagoj de tiu ci numero de Amerika Esperantisto. Amerika Esperantisto -2- November 1935 American Esperantist REFORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE (October 15, 1935) Last month we submitted a brief summary of our progress in the drive to reduce E.A.N.A.'s debt and promised at the same time a more detailed report in the November issue of Amerika Esperantisto. With replies from sixty-one members (slightly less than 18#) we are pleased to report the receipt of forty donations totalling #188. In addition we have a number of pledges--some definite, some indefinite, and others more or less conditional. In our desire to make the month's showing as encouraging as possible we were at first tempted to include an estimate of these pledges. On re- flection, however, it seemed wiser to adhere to the more conservative practice of listing the pledges in future reports as they are fulfilled. We submit the following list of donations received since the beginning of the drive and invite your attention to COLORADO, th'e first State to show complete returns: F.H.S.,$5.00;O.V.M.,$1.00... 1.00; K.E.B., 1.00.........

We are mapping out three territories with a member of the Committee in charge of each. Within a few days the Committee member in charge of your territory will begin a thorough recanvass of those who have not responded to the initial appeal. This work will entail considerable personal correspondence and some expense. You can help us to lessen both by mailing your reply before your name is reached for recanvass, May we again remind you that checks or money orders should be made payable to The Esperanto Association of North America but mailed to the Chairman of the Finance Committee (Fred H. McMann, 169 Hoosick Street, Troy, N. Y.). If you wish, you may pledge your donation to be paid later. 7/hatever your decision may be, we urgently request your cooperation in our efforts to complete the canvass at the earliest possible date.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE SEPTEMBER CONTEST Our friendly competition of wits on the varied idiomatic uses of the English word «got« resulted in receipt of painstaking responses from eleven participants. Their versions, as graded by Honorary President H. W. Hetsel, have resulted in a tie £?£ first place between Miss Olive V. Marsh of Long Beach, Calif», and J. J» Sussmuth of Humber Bay, Ont. Next after them, there is another tie for third place between David R. pook of Toronto, Ont., and G. A. Field of Southampton, Pa. Because the present (November) number is being devoted to the one purpose of giving all our members an up-to-date reprint of the Constitution of our Association, we have "got" to postpone until the December issue our more detailed report on the "GOT" contest, - which will include a printing of the preferred and of the permis- sible translations of the nine proposed idiomatic sentences. For the same reason we have "got" to postpone till next month the announcement of a new and different contest INSTEAD OF SPENDING a quarter for two or three greeting cards to as many friends why not, for the same quarter (or another), send your Christmas or New Years Greeting to EVERY READER of the «American Esperantist»?
