VORTOJ       DE       LA        PREZIDANTO
Neva kuraĝo el  la Nordo: Dum tuta monato mi vagis tra Svedlando,  de urbo al urbo,  de
klubo al  klubo.  Neniam mi  scias antaŭe en kia hejmo mi   estos gasto por  la venonta
nokto.   Sed Siam mi scias  ke estos verda hejmo,  kaj  ke ce  la stacidomo atendas min
varmaj   koroj  kun verdaj  steloj  sur  la brustoj. Mi  estis gasto ce ciuspecaj  gesami-
deanoj,  de fabrikestroj  kaj bankoficistoj  gis instruistoj  kaj  fabriklaboristoj.  Unu
nokton mi  logis  en la tre bela kaj  komforta hejmo de kamenpurigisto,   kaj mi  sentis
min same hejmece kiel ce  la bankdirektoro.   Estas mirinde en  tiuj  ci  skandinavaj
landoj.   Esperanto vivas en  ciuj  societaj klasoj,  kaj noma frateco kaj amika gentileco
trovifas  ce  la manlaboristaj  same  kiel  ce  la blankaj  koiumoj.   Kaj mi  fotografis  kaj
fotografis-konstante.   Kaj  infanoj  parolis  kun mi   el  la koro  en  carmega Esperanto.
Neniam mi  sentis min tiel  kortuŝita kiel dum la monato oktobro en svedlando.   En  ciuj
hejmoj  troviĝas bela biblioteko,   kaj  oni  konstatas ke la libroj  estas  legitaj.
Post miaj paroladoj  oni  ciam invitas al komuna kafotrinkado. Mi devas rakonti
pliajn aventuretojn  el mia cirkau-monda vivo.   Kaj   ciam  la samideanoj  demandas min,
kiel progreeas Esperanto en Usono.  Tro ionge ili nenion audis pri E.A.N.A.  sed mi
promesas  ke en  la venontaj  jaroj  ili audos pli  kaj pli pri nia nord-amerika movado.
Hi ege atendas  ke nia movado  kresku kaj progresu-ankau" trans  la Atlantiko.   Car tio
por ili  estas nova instigo,  nova kuraĝigo.  Ni devas helpi unu  la alian ne nur en niaj
propraj  landoj,   sed internacie,   per kuraĝigaj  sukcesoj   kaj  kuraĝigaj novajoj.   En  tro
multaj  lokoj  de Usono  la samideanoj dormas. Ni devas komenci novan epokon. Ni vidas
ke ni povas sukcesi se ni  volas.  Ni venkis  en nur  If jaroj(tU) financan problemon
kiu sajnis esti  kaj   estis  kolosa.  Nun ni uzu  la saman volon  kaj  kuragon por revivigi
nian movadon.  Mi  studas  en  Europo novajn sukcesajn metodojn  por  ataki  la du  plej   gran4-
dajn malamikojn de Esperanto:   ili  estas  la indiferenteco de  la publiko  kaj   la malkur-,
ago de la samideanoj.  Ni devas  lerni de la proverbaj  formikoj.   Hi neniam malkuraĝi-
ĝas.   Sed ed pli  ni  povas  lerni  de  la nordaj,   ideori3aj  gvidantoj  kiel s-ro Malmgren
en  Stockholm,  de  kiu  aperadas nuntempe  en Heroldo multaj bonegaj  artikoloj   "Kiel pro-
pagandi  por  Esperanto".   Ciuj   legantoj   de HEROLDO devus  sin senti  felicaj  ricevi  tiel
utilajn kaj  ege praktikajn  lecionojn.
"Jen denove Heroldo".   Tiel  salutis  la cefartikolo  en HEROLDO DE ESFERANTO,  nova serid
No.   1  —  kiam je  la  11.   Oktobro gi  glore reaperis en  Esperantujo.   Tiu numero samtempe!
portas  la numeron 896.     Jam dum 17 jaroj  tiu  semajna gazeto aperis kun akurateco,  ĝis
kiam  la germana registaro gin malaperigis subite.   Se per tio ili  esperis mortigi  la
Esperanto-movadon...ili terure  eraris.   Esperantistoj ne povis influi  la germanan reg
istaron,   tion ni  konfesas.   Sed la germana registaro ne povas  grave malhelpi   la Esper
anto-movadon-tion ili   konfespS..   Jam diversfoje Esperanto ricevis batojn  en diversaj
landoj,   sed gi  Siam pli  forte ol antaŭe progresadis.   Same HEROLDO  kaj  gia eldonanto
TEO  JUNG,   kiu  donacas  sian  tutan vivon  al   la  Esperanto-movado havis malfacilajn
periodojn,  ĝis   la fina kompleta malpermeso.  Sed.."Jen  densve Heroldo"  kun la goj-krio!
kaj venko-jubilado de eterna fenikso.   Kaj nun, HEROLDO DE ESPERANTO  estas  ec la ofici;
ala organo de  la nova  Internacia Esperanto-Ligo.
Nun ni povas  eklabori  lau tute nova metodo.   Kaj ni volas montri al Europo ke ankaii
en Usono ni  povas progresi.  Ni  ciuj   komencu  la novan jaron per nova  entuziasmo.   Se
viaj  geparencoj   au  geamikoj ne  scias kion aceti por vi  je Kristnasko..kial ne .peti
tutjaran  abonon  je  la semajna Heroldo? au  eĉ membrecon  en I.E.L.   (MA au MAH)  Gi   estos!
via plej  bela Kristnaska donaco.'
Dum Novembro mi preleg-vojag'as en Danlando kaj Norvegujo.  Je la 20.  Nov.   mi  alvenos
per  ŝipo de Trondheim al Rotterdam,   kaj  prelegos   en Nederlando  gis  Kristnasko.   Sed
la festo-tagojn mi  guos en Svislando kun mia patrino,  ce onklo kaj gekuzoj.     Kaj  de
tie miaj  pensoj  flugos  al  ciuj miaj  geamikoj  en Usono.     Per  telepatio mi diros  al vi
Ĝojan Kristnaskon al ciuj   gesamideanoj   J

EANA AFFILIATE WITH I E L.  Readers  of the November number of   "American Esperantist"
became informed  of the  course  of  events which  led  the responsible  officials   of  the
Universal Esperanto Association to the grave decision of withdrawal from their re-
spective  offices,  in order  immediately to form a new organization,   like  in plan and
purpose but differing in name and location of its  central office.     The new organiza-
tion,  INTERNACIA ESPERMTC-LIGO,   is  already functioning in  a promising way-with  a
house  and offices  of its  own,   all  the National  Associations   (except Switzerland)
that  were  affiliated with UEA,  before the  change,   and several   others-that had been
-on  the  outside.     At  a date midway between  the October  and November  issues  of   "A E"
our central office mailed a special two-page bulletin  of information to the members
of EANA (all paid members being  eligible  to vote).     This gave  a condensed account
of the history  lying behind the present reorganization-with further details  in Nov.
"A E".     And a ballot was  attached,   on which  each member was  invited to answer YES
or NO  to  the question:   "Do you  favor  cooperation by the  Esperanto Association  of
North  America with  the  Internacia Esperanto-Ligo,along  lines   similar  to  its  previous
cooperation with  the Universale Esperanto-Asocio?".
Up  to the  time  of going to press,  replies have been received from  133 members.   With
but  a single  exception,   these replies have been   "YES".   The questionaire specified
that replies  should be received by November 20.   (That date was  chosen because it is
the  time when  copy for  the December  issue must be ready  for  the printer).  We  are not
surprised that many members have  let the specified time slip by without mailing any
ballot  on  the  question.     With  some  it has been  inadvertent;  with  some it  is  a modest
feeling  that  others  are better  prepared than  they to decide wisely on matters  so  far
from home as  the international  organization;   some have stated that  they  "dislike
putting my name  to a vote,  but to show I  am  'going along'   with the  central  office,
here are my dues  for the coming year," Although  the  issue is now decided (with but
a single dissenting  vote),   it  will be useful  for  moral  effect-if many of  those who
have not  voted will  send in  their reply-votes.
E.A.N.A.   will  from  the present  date begin  to  function as  a national affiliate  of  the
I  E L.   This will mean:   (1)  That each EANA member who does not become an   "active"
member   of  IEL in his  own right,  by paying  IEL dues,  will be  an   "inactive" member  of
IEL through payment  to  IEL by  EANA of  12  cents  out   of  his $1.50 EANA membership.
(2)  That  EANA will  elect  one member  to  the central  governing  Committee  of IEL.     (3)
That  in the pages  of   "American  Esperantist» brief  information will be  given from
time to time about the progress  of the international  league.     (4)  That the central
office  of  EANA will receive and duly transmit   the membership  fees  paid by those be
coming members  of IEL.   And EANa will be pleased to have as many as possible of its
members  crown  off  their membership in  the North  American Association by  adding  to
it an  active membership  in the International Esperanto League.
REPORT OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE
(November 15, 1936)
The battle for a debtless EANA has been won.  Our total is already above the
$725.00 set as the goal in this final drive, and there are still some pledges out-
standing, most of which are on an installment basis, that may eventually swell the
surplus to impressive proportions.
The encouraging start made at the 29th Congress in Detroit came as a hearten-
ing assurance of victory. But equally gratifying is the wide-spread general sup-
port which is carrying this drive well beyond victory.  Donations have been received
from thirty States, as well as from the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Canal Zone,
and Canada.  And six States--Utah, Arizona, Nebraska, West Virginia, Delaware and
Vermont--are in the 100% column.  Following is a list of all donations received to

INFORMATION ON INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP IN IEL. (Continued) —
many quarters, but of most interest to EANA members, by our president, Joseph R.
Scherer) is functioning at IEL headquarters. But according to the sponsors of the
lawsuit, he could not function at Geneva even if he would, because (they say) he was
elected only for London, though the question of 'locality' had not come up at the
time of his appointment.  Moreover, the officials of the old UEA organization have
resigned their positions in that body and could not go back even if they chose. But
in the second place, President Scherer in a recent letter has remarked that "the ex-
pected fall in Swiss living costs will probably be illusory in the main».  Because
his native country produces, besides cheese, only a few specialized lines of manufac-
ture.  Items included in the ordinary cost of living, for a city dweller, are in
great measure imported from abroad, and their prices at place of origin will largely
control their price to consumers. One further question will naturally occur to many
of our readers.  Will there not be some remains of the old UEA organization who will
wish to keep the old name alive? This was considered probable from the outset.  A
few days ago our office received a long document from some samideanoj in Geneva,
stating their viewpoint on organization matters. They are disposed to keep alive the
name and constitution of the old organization, though admitting that their ability to
function is now very limited. Among themselves they have set up a provisional new
President and Secretary. This is all proper and to the good, if they will limit them-
selves to harmonious action on details which really need attention; for there remains
the UEA library, also some other bits of property, which must in some way be conserveq
and kept in use.  It is the wish and hope of the EANA office that this provisional
committee in Geneva will confine itself to work which really needs doing; since we
believe it would be a distinct hindrance to the Esperanto Cause were they to seek in
any way to duplicate the international work which is now in the capable hands of the
IEL.
***************************************¥***
After writing the foregoing, we read in the November number of the Belgian Esperan-
tist, that the following National Associations have already affiliated with I E L i
Austria, Denmark, Holland, France, Britain, Portugal, Argentina and Latvia, and that
affiliation of the following is firmly promised at an early date:  Italy, Sweden,
Greece, Norway, Bulgaria and Hungary. Before the 'break', UEA had but nine National
Associations affiliated, so it looks as if I E L was «getting off to a good start" -
that several of the 'Nationals' had reasons for keeping out-as had some of our EANA
members - but all indicate their willingness to 'go along' with the new organization).

SIR PERCY HARRIS, member of parliament, in an address to the London Esperanto Feder-
ation Exhibition, Sept. 19th '36, said-inter aliaj-" I could not help thinking when I
came here today, that if one per cent of the money spent on armaments in Europe was
spent in teaching people an International Language, we might be nearer the unity of
mankind, on the road to peace, than by what is called 'armaments for defense'".
(British Esperantist). Kompreneble, FRIENDSHIPS are cheaper than WARSHIPS.

TOPEKA ESPERANTO ASSOCIATION held its annual meeting Nov. 6th and the following of-
ficers were re-elected; President-W. H. Stanley, 116 The Drive; V-Pres. Mrs. G. A.
Oglevy; Secretary, Mrs. Lida R. Hardy; Girl Scout Directress, Miss Clarice Zerkle;
Boy Scout Director, Rev. John H. Fazel-also Delegate of IEL; V-Delegate of IEL, Miss
Lovilia Hilty; Music Comm. Mrs. Hardy and Miss Hilty.
Rev. Fazel made a report on the Detroit Congress. Miss Zerkle, American represen-
tative of the Esperanto Girl Scout League, gave a short talk in which she asked the
cooperation of all Esperantists-and all Girl Scouts. Miss Zerkle is a very popular
High School teacher in Topeka. Miss Hilty gave a sample lesson in Esperanto with
the Wadham "Home Student" phonograph discs. Music, singing and readings in Esperanto,
signing up the non-Esperantists as "Friends of Esperanto", and refreshments served
by Mrs. Stanley brought a very happy evening to a close.
