A member of EANA has every right to think of himself rather as a "partner" or co-worker in an enterprise originated & maintained as one of the means for making this world a better world to live in. And if, in support of NIA APERO he is invited to contribute according to his ability and zeal—measuring his recompense not in what the Association can give to him, but in what it can give to the larger cause—he listens to the appeal with cheerful understanding, and he responds in so far as he is reasonably able. But he has a right to have the facts clearly explained, before he is asked to make a cash contribution, over and above the regular membership dues of $1.50, established in the constitution. Members of the Estraro and of the Finance Committee have looked the facts in the face. And it is seen that for alt least one more year, a substantial sum must be raised by enlisting "PATRONOJ de KARA".(ten dollar volunteers), or "SOBTENANTOJ de E^NA/ (five dollar volunteers),the same as was done for the year Just past, jsach Patrono or Subtenanto, will receive a neat little token inscribed with his (or her) name, and attesting the aid rendered; his(or her) name will be published in "Amerika Esperantisto''-unless he prefers to remain anonymous- and he enjoys in addition the ordinary rights of member shin up to the close of the next annual congress (contribution and annual dues inclusive) While expenses and ordinary income cannot be forecast precisely, it is bel- ieved that EANA must secure $250 this year from its Patronoj and its Eubten- antoj, without finding its books unbalanced at the end. Our members are entitled to know why this is necessary. The price of act- ive membership was fixed at the small sum of $1.50 (membership and subscrip- tion to "Amerika Esperantisto")at a time when the Association had little to offer its members in return for their support, and at a time when the gener- al depression made it doubtful whether the rank and file of our members could afford any higher dues than that. The official publication of those days was just a mimeographed bulletin of three or four pages (one month it was only two pages). The Association for a few months had no office of its own, but received the corner of an office as a friendly courtesy of a non- Esperantist owner of a business college. For eighteen months, EANA occupied a small office at a rental of $5 a month—which the General Secretary paid for out of his own pocket; but that office became no longer available, as the building was remodelled. After that It became necessary to move to the present office at 1517 H St., N-W., costing $10 a month. For the first year, one half of this rent was paid by the General Secretary, out of his pocket. But those early emergency conditions could not continue. Those days are over, and they ought to be over. At present EANA pays Its own office rent, as most certainly It should. It pays to the General Secretary the cost of his street car fare to and from the office—but not a cent for the many long hours of hia freely donated labor. EANA now publishes for its members an eight-page neatly photographedj and pleasantly Illustrated monthly paper of New-World Esperanto news and all-world Esperanto facts. It keeps on hand for sale a supply of the study books most called for. It prints quantities of inform- ational material in the form of leaflets, available upon request. It ans- wers hundreds of letters of inquiry, both from convinced Esperantists and from those outside the circle who may become Esperantists. All these serv- ices, together with overhead expenses, require money. Without money they cannot be continued. And the regular membership dues from the present list of members(350) do not furnish enough to make the budget balance. Hence it is earnestly and "fraternally"* requested that each member who feels that he oan, consistently, shall send to the Chairman of the Finance Committee (Mr.Fred H.McMann, 169 Hoosick St., Troy, N.Y.) his special free-will offer- ing,—if possible $10 as PATRONO; or if not this, then $5 as SUBTENANTO de Amerika Esperantisto September 1938 American Esperantist ( 3 J 4848#*Jp48'48 48 48-48 48 48- 48 48 48 4'r * 4!- 45- 48 48- 41- 45- % 41- * 48 45- 45- * 41- 48- 41- 4.- 48- 48- 48- 48- 48- Bsperanto. It is perfectly fair for you to ask, "Is such an. appeal to bec- ome an annual occurrence from now on,a permanent policyV" It is hoped that the answer may prove to be "HO". But of this the future must tell. If we had a moderate increase in number of members, and if each member paid ann- ual dues of $2 instead of $1.50, chances of a balanced budget would be GOOD. 0r ijE" e^ck member could bring in at least one new member at the present rate of $1.50, thus at least doubling the membership list, the budget would appr- oximately balance. Which of these two pathways holds the greater hope for a stable future of the organization in years to come, is a matter for wise de- liberation among the membership and for future action.(At the present time there is no room for choice, for an increase in the regular membership dues whether desirable or otherwise-cannot be effected unless by constitutional amendment at some future congress). In any case, for the year now upon us, EANA is confidently counting upon responses from an adequate number of FERVOHULOJ who will freely stand back of the organization and its program of service by contributing as PATRONOJ or as SUBTENANT0J de EANA. I am writing this article upon special request from the Ilnance Uommittee, (Chairman being engaged on special work this month) in whose hands the fur- ther labors regarding these matters will rest.

Pausing In Oklahoma Olty this summer there is a young man who burns brightly with the seal of a true crusader. He is R. M. Pease, a professional engineer from New York City here to do a special research lob for the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. That, however, Is not what he cru- sades about. Pease, purely as a hobby and because he feels that it Is an im- portant thing In developing peace between the nations, carries the torch for Esperanto. Esperanto, as you may or may not know, is the name given to a system of universal language invented by a Russian linguist some 60 years ago Today it Is generally recognized as the most successful of more than 200 attempts that have been made to es- tablish a world-wide tongue, which date back as far as 1527. It's a doing Thing Today It Is estimated to be spoken by between 2,000,000 and 6,000,000 people.all over the world, although an accurate figure is virtually impossible. It has been adopted by many inter- national organizations as a means of *—-You've got there, professor! something carrying on business and political transactions; more than 100 publica- tions are printed In Esperanto. In short, the language Is a going thing, and going more and more rapidly every day. One of the most important things that "Esperanists," as those who know and advocate the language are known, want to get across to others people Is that Esperanto is not In- tended to replace any national lan- guage. It belongs to no race, nation reltfelon or any special group, and there never has, been any effort to establish It In any country to re- place the native language. "It is, Instead, a supplemental or ■helping-language,'" explained Pease "When Esperanto Is widely known, as some day it will be, it will be neces sary for a person to learn only one foreign language in order to trave" or correspond anywhere." The Lessons Are Free Like other Esperantlsts, Pease of-^ fers to teach the language to any- body who Is Interested in the subject, free of charge. ' His engineering job keeps him busy from approximately 2 p. ra. to 10 p m, each day, but Pease is so interest- ed in seeing Esperanto get a foothold in Oklahoma City that he will devote 5 "S ^ 01 QH ©PC ™ +» . u o en* «n rd © .cJp & 3 ci P 0] 0) H g H O © 03 a> 03 O © • • R.

"It Is five to 10 times easier than the easiest national language, because of the fact that there are only 16 rules for grammar; it Is absolutely pho- netic and has no exceptions or Ir- regularities, which means only one Conjugation with all verbs regular.
