The central point of the congress, from the side of re-quickening the inner mot- ives for duty in the Esperanto cause, was the non-gectarian religious gathering on Sunday morning, presided over by Mr. J.D.Sayers, who also was chiefly responsible for bringing to us the eminent speaker of the morning. The following features of the service were in Esperanto; reading of First Corin- thians the thirteenth chapter, by Mr. Savers; two hymns ("Holy Lord, we praise thy name», and "Lead Kindly Light",) sung by the congregation; two duets by Miss Jones and Mr. Kelly, with Mrs. Cora L. Fellows at the piano; and the presentation from memory of Dr. Samen- hof's "Freĝo sub la verda standardo", by Capt. F.A.Postnikov, of Little Bock, Ark. The sermon was by lev. Cornelius Greenway, a native of Holland but now pastor of All Souls Uhiversalist Church in Brooklyn, and one of the best known clergymen in the greater New York. In his boyhood he had learned some Esperanto because his father and an elder brother had been enthusiasts for the language; but amid the cares of later stren- uous years he had allowed his familiarity with the language to fade. So he spoke to us in English. But that he is a devoted believer in the high aims which Esperanto stands for, was made strongly evident. Of particular note is the fact that Heverend Greenway acted as the private inter- preter for President Woodrow Wilson through the entire post-war conference of nations at Versailles, and so has known at first hand the jealousies, enmities, and misunder- standings which are bo largely caused and fostered by the differences of national lan- guages. We of EANA are the more deeply indebted to him for the fact that, besides preparing for us his inspiring address, he postponed the beginning of his vacation in order to present it at our gathering. We are indeed fortunate to he able to give below to our readers the text of Beverend Cornelius Greenway's sermon. I am fully aware that the purpose of the Annual Congress of the Esperanto Asso- ciation of North America is to hear reports on current activities and also to give an opportunity to the officers and members to decide on policies and programs for the year ahead. Yesterday was set aside to attend to business and tomorrow will be a day of play and of demonstration at the World's Fair. This day you have set aside to attend to things spiritual. You people know that man shall not live by business and play alone* He is a religious animal and the greater his outlook on the world, the more sensitive he is to things that are spiritual. It was in the year 1887 that Dr. L.L.Zamenhof gave to the world his new language known to you and me as Esperanto. He did so not with the purpose of adding another language to the long list of languages and dialects. He knew the power of words. He knew that peoples were kept apart by walls of misunderstanding, of hatred, of jealousy and of prejudice, largely because of differences of languages. There are not a few people who have the jitters when they hear a language spoken which they cannot under- stand. We have nations that are kept apart by verbal lines. But if words have been used like so many walls, I see no reason why they cannot be used like so many bridges that will unite nations. The Fellowship I have the honor to he a member of, has five spiritual planks in its creed. Two of these are very precious to all who are members. These glorious planke are; 1. Fatherhood of God 2. Brotherhood of Man What our Fellowship seeks to do through Beligion you seek to do through Speech, namely: bringing people closer together; seeking to break down man-made barriers and to restore confidence in the hearts of men. If that is the chief reason for cultivating a wider use of Esperanto, you deserve the gratitude and support of all who are lovers of God and his children, and Dr. Zamenhof's memory will be kept green. Last April 26th I read in the New York Times about a 58-letter Welsh word, a 1 Amerika Espernntist July-August 1939 American Esperantist single word containing 58 letters! Lees than a week later some one wrote to the City Editor of the Times that a 58 letter ward was nothing to write about, for the Swedes have a 93 letter word. And here we have a perfect example what words can do — an ardent Swede writing to a New York City editor that his language had a much longer word than the Welsh, even though the latter had a 58 letter word. A friendly skirmish about the length of a wordl Dr. Zamenhof knew that it is not quantity but quality that counts. He tried to bring people together through a language all could speak, even though they were horn under different flags in different climes. I have been informed that Esperanto is a growing language, that you can make your own words and compound words. I hope and pray that you will give no attention to the 93-letter Swedish word with an intent to better the Swedes. Let them have their 58- and 93-letter words; but you, when you create new words, pay strict attention to the proper choice and use of the word created by you.

If our regular membership can be increased in suf- ficiently great degree, we look forward to a time when both a larger and a better month- ly magazine can be provided as our official organ» This is a goal to look forward to; but it is not listed as a present necessity» For we are far indeed from apologizing for the small illustrated publication which we have succeeded in issuing the past year. Indeed, we think our members can find cause for pride and encouragement in comparing the present small but neat Amerika Esperantisto with the mimeographed bulletin of three, four, or occasionally five pages which was issued in 1934, 1935, and 1936, before final success of the struggle to liquidate the heavy debts left over from an earlier period and coming to a climax during the depression» How we are able to furnish eight pages in each issue, and occasionally advertisements have swelled it to ten. In this small compass we have tried to include the principal items of U.S.A. Esperanto news, a glimpse at the Esperanto world-field, some instructive articles about the language itself, some good propaganda material, lists of books which the live Esperantist will do well to pur- chase, occasional bits of Esperanto literature by our members — and even a good joke now and then» The changes in the physical form of Amerika Esperantisto have been most favorably received. If an occasional typographical error may offend your sense of pre- cision, we trust to your generosity» The .photoprint manner of publication, besides being the most economical on the market, brings to you the great advantage of an illus- trated) magazine» "Obstine do antaŭaa — kaj kuneJ" The study of Esperanto is known to be on the increase in this country. In sev- eral places the movement for "Esperanto in the schools" lias gained definite initial successes, which, though modest in their beginnings, carry great promise for the future» With this assurance of increase in the potential material for membership in a national Esperanto organization, shall we not confidently hope that our present membership will serve as a missionary force for securing new members of 1 A II A, so that the size of our forces enlisted and organized for the propagation of Esperanto may actually be doubled before the congress of next July? This ought to be possible» But this result will not come spontaneously» It will come only if you — and you — and you — shall work effieiently for our common goal» Ou vi? ************************* ***** ********* ***** ICjL . fypUZQJ lU^Sg ip, ia connection with MtMBRO KUN JARLIBRO (MJ) ricevas membrokarton, servokuponaron kaj la Jarl.bron EAHA, JOU Wish JarlltTO, MEMBRO-ABONANTO (MA) ricevas membrokarton, servokuponaron, la Jarlibron ka| la Esperanto IntemaclB, Or monatan oficialan gazeton « Esperanto Internacia » dum la iaro. tt„-..u» j *» _„_„■,a. *« > MEMBRO-ABONANTO-HEROLDO (MAH) ricevas membrokarton, servokuponaron la HerOldO he Esperanto, Jarlibron kaj la semajnan gazeton « Heroldo de Esperanto » dum la iaro S8nd whole amOUnt tO EANA MEMERO-SUBTENANTO (MS) ricevas membrokarton, servokuponaron, la Jarlibron kai lalA tT"JTf'~~^rOrf'" "iVfl.ĥl n a- la monatan oficialan gazeton « Esperanto Internacia » Li afable pagis pli altan kottzon no 7 £ „ " $ 1> „ „§ help!

He studied music at the New England Conservatory in Boston and was a reporter on his home town paper, the Gardner, Mass., News for five years. While with the newspaper he organized and di- rected a dramatic group and also a male quartet. Later he came to New York and pur- sued a stage career ranging through bur- lesque, legitimate and vaudeville, with interludes during which he studied voice, taught singing and piano, and studied the violin. Following an engagement as choir- master with Richard Bennett in the Shu- bert play, "In Command" he came to the Savings and Loan in 1930. Back in 1931-32 the radio field called and Ray managed a male quintet which sang over WMCA and WOR. He also wrote dialogue and music for a week- ly program featuring sea chanties. He also sandwiched in singing engagements in New York churches, u************ Esperantist Ray Kelly is also a musician. Esperantist Ray Kelly Could Talk And Sing His Way Around The World BONAN tagon. Kiel vi sanas hodiau? Bone, mi esperas." That's a "good morning" in Esperanto from Ray Kelly, Edison Savings and Loan teller, who speaks the lingo fluently. Always interested in languages and well grounded in Latin, Greek, French, Spanish, German and Italian, Ray could find his way around the globe with ease in any of these. In addition, he has more than a smattering of Gaelic, Hebrew and Chinese to fall hack on. But it is Esperanto which he en- thusiastically advocates as the internation- al means of communication. He reels it off like a native—of Spain, France, Italy, Sweden, Argentine, Brazil, or wherever most of the four million Esperantists live. Ray studied Esperanto with Lydja Za- menhof, daughter of Dr. L. L. Zamenhof of Warsaw, Poland, inventor of the lan- guage, when she visited this country two years ago. He has been having an interest- ing time since, conversing with fellow members of the Esperanto Society of North America or reading some of the world-famous classics included among the five hundred books in Esperanto in the 42nd Street Library. Ray says there are also about a hundred magazines and news- papers in Esperanto entertailJUJiSti.'fc Last year Ray haci charge of the cara- van which went to the International Con- vention of Esperantists in London. He is now chairman of the local committee of the National Congress which will arrange the national convention in New York in J"iy. **** ********** 4 Esperanto Day, the only formal •"T" program scheduled at the Pair, brought an audience of 2,000 to the s* Court of Peace to watch folk j dances in costume by Polish, Ital- ian, Estonian and other native t, groups and to hear musical selec- tions on the flute and bagpipe. At the end of the program, Lambro^ s^ Demetrios Callimahos, Greek flut- ^j» 1st, told the audience In Esperanto 2 it was necessary to know two lan- tjji guages- besides the mother tongue M in order to become good members £! of thehuman race. These two lan- iG Buagefc lie said, were music, the p language ct • tne neart, and Esper- anto, the international language of the mind. "Laŭ mia opinio, lau mia kredo,' ,* Mr. Callimahos said, "por igl bonaj £j anoj de Cl-tiu lando, aff iu lando, K estas unue necese igl bonaj anoj de la mondo-^de la homa raso. Kaj estas ankau mia kredo, ke est! bona Sano de la raso estas necese havi du lingvon krom la patrinafmgvon: tiu estas diri, la lingvon de la koro, kiu estas la muziko; kaj la lingvon de la menso, kiu estas, por la plej vastaj uzadoj, Esperanto." Translated by R. T. B. Kelly, president ofj the New York Esperan- to Society, who was master of cere- monies, this turned out as follows: "According to my opinion, ac- S2j cord to my belief, in order to be- come good citizens of this country, j. or any country, It is first necessary kŭ tr/ become good citizens of the oJ world—of the human race. It is °-" necessary to have two languages in +> addition to the mother tongue: rf that Is to say the language of the 9 heart, which is music, and the lan- Pt, guage of the mind, which is, for the broadest uses, Esperanto." n p M K m American Esperantist ******** ******* Editorial .WASHINGTON POST JULY 6. 1939 Lingvon De La Menso Mayor LaGuaraia must "have disap- pointed a good many of his admirers by not being on hand Monday for the cele- bration of Esperanto Day at the New York "World's Fair. We had supposed that Mr. LaGuardia, who has been de- lighting all ears with his exhibition of linguistic virtuosity, would rise superbly to this occasion. But, of course, an artist like the mayor may regard a language that has not one irregular verb with much the same dis- dainful tolerance that Mr. Joe DiMaggio might exhibit for the gentle game of beanbag. Anyhow, the mayor apparently was not there to lead the singing of Ridu, ridu,—ho, ho, ho! Plorado estas vana; Tutkore ridu—h'o, ho, hoi Kaj -ciam restu sana. Thus did the Esperantists combine "the universal language of the heart" (muzi- ko) with "the universal language of the mind." Everybody present, except the initiates, assumed that what they were singing was the Esperanto version of our old friend, "Yankee Doodle." The air, in- deed, was the same but the words, it now appears, mean something rather different and more risible. However, we suppose, that the real Yankee Doodle would have made as much sense in Esperanto as in the orig- inal English, or perhaps more. There are extremists who say that nobody has fully appreciated Shakespeare who has not read him in Esperanto. Certainly, some poets do seem to gain by translation, as for instance, Longfellow: Ma pafis sagon en la seron Ne scias kie ge falls tejfon. Still we snail not become converted until we see what the Esperantists can do with something really difficult, like the following passage by Edmund Can- non: If down his throat a man should choose, In fun, to jump or slide, He'd scrape his shoes against his teeth Nor dirt his own inside. Or if his teeth were lost and gone And not a stump to scrape upon, He'd see at once how very pat His tongue lay there by way of mat, And he would wipe his feet on that! * * * ***** ****** ***** ******** Amerika Esperantisto July-August American Esperantist 9 *********** ********** *]L*9*3*9* ******* ** ***** * * * * HERE IS THE HONOR ROLL OF "PATRONOJ" and"SUBTENANTOJ" for 1938-1939-had it not been for the generosity of these GEFERVORULOJ our books would have closed with a large deficit.

Whereas the 32nd Annual Esperanto Congress of North America has been held in New York as guests of the combined local Esperanto groups-the machinery has functioned smoothly and everyone has had an enjoyable time. Be it resolved that we express thanks to the LKK and groups for their delightful arr- angements, and the thoroughness in working out the plans-for the excellent programs for the entertainment of the Kongresanoj and their friends. We also wish to express our appreciation to the officers and committees of EANA for the efficient manner in which the business of the Congress was conducted, and to thank the officials of the city government who welcomed the congress to New York, for their appro- val, encouragement-and promised help to our movement. To the management of Hotel New Yorker for their splendid cooperation. To the Commissioner General of the Czechoslovakia Pavilion at the World's Fair for their kind cooperation and hearty interest in placing an Esperanto Exhibit in their Pavilion. To Pastro Kao, representing China, for his illu- strated lecture. We express special thanks to Mr. Russell H.Richmond, program director of Radio Station VfHK-WCLE in Cleveland, Ohio, for cooperation with Prof. Tomich in broad- casting Esperanto during the past 12 months. We suggest that these resolutions be published in the New York newspapers and copies be sent to those concerned. Respectfully submitted.

Many have said that New Yorkers were reserved and inhospitable. They had not met New York Esperantists. The evening of June 30th we were given an open-hearted informal reception that thoroughly banished all ideas of 'high hat' or uncertainty as to our welcome. Noting the beneficent smiles that wreathed the benevolent countenances of the reception committee- and that included all New York Esperantists who could be present-we could retire with plea- sant anticipations for the morrow. The Congress committee had left nothing undone, the selection of the Hotel New Yorker as headquarters, with its splendid appointments and service, was ideal. Even the weather seem- ed to have been especially arranged for. We cannot refrain from especially commending the excellent work done by Messrs. Herbert W.Smart in his capacity of Secretary,and chairman of the membership committee; Ray M.Pease, who did a very efficient job as Treasurer of the LKK and chairman of arrangements committee; Nathan Sadagursky, Ralph R.Bonesper and Harry G. Schatz-efficiencies on the Literature committee; Morris Bortnick of the Art, and Henry I. Nagin, of the Publicity-a fine job, with all points covered. Much of the ground work for Publicity was ably laid by Wm.H.Topham, who, due to press of business could not'carry-on'. And the Ladies-God Bless'em-Mrs Eda Sayers of the Program and Entertainment Committees did a thorough job, and Mrs Delia C.Quinlan with arrangements, contributed in large measure to the success of the Congress. Mrs Marian Topham cannot be sufficiently praised for her ever- alert and self-sacrificing attention to her job(ass't sec'y) of looking after registrations and seeing that everyone had proper attention. She was ably assisted by Miss Vesta Petersen (Sec'y of ESNY) who put in many, many long hours at the registration table to assure the comfort of all. Mr.George A.Connor, in ex-officio capacity, was in great part responsible for setting up and initiating both the LKK and its work. His advice and suggestions as the work progressed were invaluable. Mr.Herbert H.Harvey also did much to assure the success of the Congress. ftftftftft july ONE 1939 ft ft ft ft ft Opened at 9.30 A.M. by President Raymond T.B.Kelly, of the Esperanto Society of New York, who welcomed the visitors in his usual happy style, before introducing Mr. E.G.Dodge of Washington, D.C. Chairman of the Executive Committee, and acting President of EANA in the absence of Pres. Joseph R.Scherer of California, and V-Pres. James F.Morton of New Jersey. Mr. Dodge asked that Mr.Henry W.Hetzel-Honorary President of EANA-be*endorsed as presiding officer of the Congress. Endorsement unanimous. Mr. Henry I.Nagin,Brooklyn then escorted to the platform Judge Week of the N Y City Courts, who represented Mayor La Guardia.He,very graciously extended a cordial welcome to the Esperantists. He recalled that in his school- days he was a leader in Esperanto classes, but had lapsed. He apologised for the lapse and prophesied the coming triumph of Esperanto as a medium of universal understanding. Mr. Nagin then introduced Mr Harvey, President of the borough of Queens, in whose bailiwick is situated the World's Fair. He also had been an Esperantist,about twenty five years ago, and stall enthusiastic enough to promise help in introducing Esperanto into the schools- asking Mr.Dormont, Principal of New Lots High School, to call at his office to discuss the subject. He told us about the 'workings' of city governments, and that Queens was a city of homes, the most progressive and fastest growing city in the world-pop. now 1 1/2 million. Rising vote of thanks was accorded the gentlemen. Mr. Hetzelthen made the following commit- tee appointments; Nominating; Mr.H.B.Hastings, Boston, Mr.Louis Dormont, Brooklyn and Mrs. Luella K.Beecher, Lima,0.

Mr. E.C.Dodge chairman or Executive Committee, read his very interesting report, calling attention to various phases of the committee's work, the selection of Mr.George A. Connor to take the place of Mr.H.W.Hetzel(not going to Bern) at the Universal Esperanto Kongreso on the governing committee of the IEL.. and also to carry the official greetings of EANA **-**** *************** ************ ********** Amerika Esperantisto July-August 1939 American Esperantist 11 ******* * * * * ********* * * * * * * * ***** ************ to the Universal Esperanto Congress, and the recommendation to the State Department in Washington, that Miss Doris Tappan,of New York, be commissioned as official represent- ative of the United States Government at the Esperanto World Congress in Bern, Switzer- land, July 29th to August 5th. He expressed the hope that the acceptance of places on committees would imply the determination to work along their particular line and make reports from time to time. He also recommended that all who could , should take examin- ations for diplomas,"there are many among our membership who are really competent to pass the examinations, but who thus far have postponed or neglected the effort", and noting President Scherer's article on the subject in the April "AE". Mr. Dodge also read the report of the following committees-their chairmen being absent- Examinations; Rondo-Legantoj; and Boy Scouts. Mrs C.J.Walter read Treasurer's report: Recipts $1148.92. Disbursements $1136.99 Mr. Hastings read reports of Finance and Publication committees. Mr. J.W.Dubin,Philadelphia, read report of Legislative Committee. Mr.Anthony F.Korrek,Detroit, read the report from Mr.Robert L.Davis, Chairman of Publi- city Committee. Mrs.Delia C.Ouinlan, read report of the visit and labors of Lidia Zamenhof 1937-38. Prof. Frank Tomich spoke for the Radio Committee(Woodruff Bryne.Columbia,S,C,Chairman). He told of his work on the radio during the past 12 months. Had been asked to translate a letter from Jugoslavia, by the director of Station WHK,Cleveland,(Mr.R.H.Richmond) and an ensuing conversation ended by an invitation to broadcast, which he has done every Sun- day since. He asks all Esperantists,or friends, to send cards or letters to Mr.Richmond commending his generosity. Cards and letters are the 'hand-claps'and applause for radio. Owing to the limitations of time, the Secretary only touched a few of the 'high spots' of his report.One of them was praise of Mr, Ray Pease splendid job of spreading Esperanto in the Western States, especially Oklahoma, where his efforts resulted in an Esperanto Club of 86 members-17 of whom are now members of EANA, with promise of more-at least double-in the near future, and his radio and newspaper contacts resulting in sales of books-and many inquiries.(in response to many requests for full reports of the Sek's, the Executive and Finance Committee's reports, they will be published in later issues) Mr.Dormant (School Comm.) said Board of Education will permit the teaching of Esperanto in the schools, if teachers can be provided-when school boards say "teachers"they mean teachers with diplomas from competent sources."A word to the wise...." Mr.Hetzel called on the Historian to tell us something about the 30 year history which he and Miss Meriam were working on. The Historian(Mr.Hetzel)reported some progress, and re- quested all who had any items that might be of interest in that work to kindly forward them to him, or to Miss Meriam. Mr.Lee D.Stern, Cleveland Heights,Ohio, proposed a commis- sion for the purpose of improving the "American Esperantist"-after some discussion by Mes- sers Dodge, Nagin, Postnikov and Dubin it was approved. Miss Roan U.Orloff, Boston,proposed a«message of felicitation be cabled to Miss Zamenhof-in response to Miss Z's letter to the Congress.Before any discussion could get under way, Dr.Cecil Stockard very generously assu- med the payment of cablegram-all who have had the pleasure of Dr.Stockard's acquaintance know him to be a REAL ESPERANTIST. A telegram was sent to Mr.A.Marcus of RKO Hollywood, commending him for his intelligence in selecting Esperanto for use in the play now being filmed"Conspiracy", after unanimous consent of the congress. Mr.Connor asked that all who had any books, letters, postcards,posters etc.,of Esperanto, which they would be willing to loan for the Esperanto exhibit now in the Czechoslovakia building at the World's Fair, kindly communicate with the Czech Commissioner. Loan to continue until close of Fair. The TUTESPERANTO program Saturday evening consisted of, a very interesting session of the Harvey Educational Class-several Harvey children and Rita Sadagursky, Mary Harvey teacher- three sketches by grown-ups were very laughable,an illustrated lecture by Rev. John Bap- tist Kao (Catholic Chinese Missionary), showing many phases of life in China at the present time-Industry, Sports,and war scenes. A full house enjoyed the evening. A very large meed of thanks is due Mr J.D.Sayer, for his splendid choice of a leader for the Church Service (Diservo) Sunday morning. Rev. Cornelius Greenway, Brooklyn-see his ser- mcn-pages 3-5. Miss Marguerita Jones and Mr. Ray Kelly made the service a complete success by their duets.-both being accomplished artists. Thinking that our European readers might be interested in "ESPERANTO DAY", we give an out- line of the activities in Esperanto, on another page. Mr.Thomas Goldman, Washington(recently of Harvard Univ.), spoke of the Youth Movement, and recommended cooperation of EANA with it. As Youth Congress was in session a few doors away on the suggestion of Mr.Dormont that a delegate be sent, Mr Goldman was appointed to do the honors. Miss Florence Rivere, Brooklyn, was appointed delegate to the Convention of the World Federation of Education, to be held in Rio de Janiero. The Amendment, changing the EANA yearly rate from $1.50 to $2,00-with rebate of 25 cents when enrolment included any of the IEL combinations, was unanimously approved-confirming ******* *********************** *************** 12 Amerika Eaperantisto July-August 1959 American Esperantist ******************************** ********* **** the result of the questionaire on the subject, which had been carried in the May "AE", and brought in almost unanimous consent-only 3 of 30 replies had doubts as to the feasibility of the raise. A motion that the EANA give support to the Esperanto Foundation was referred to the Execu- tive Committee. The Nominating commitee reported the the following for election-for two years: For Vice-President Mr.Louis Dormont, Brooklyn, N.Y», for Treasurer-Mrs Clara J.Walter of Washington, D.C.(present incumbent)» for member of Executive committee-Mr. E.G.Dodge, of Washington, D.C.(present incumbent). All were elected, Mrs Walter, called attention to the callouses on the Secretary8s fingers, and the 'cuss- words' he used (Oh, my no, she did not repeat them) when the keys of the old office type- writer became (chronically) tangled, etc.,and moved that a part of the reserve fund be used to buy a new typewriter. After a little discussion, it was decided that a new type- writer be purchased, at not over 75$. Mr.Hastings said he did not like the idea of being too free with that sacred fund, and started a subscription to lessen the load from said fund, and the dollars piled up to a grand total of 25-with an added $32 from the fund, ye sek., is now telling you about it on the new typewriter-Oh jes, it has all the necessary "•. .akceptu miajn sincerajn dankojn. After all the sightseeing, and listening to the splendid program during the' afternoon, nearly a hundred people gathered to demolish the products of the Banquet tables on the Swiss terraces, overlooking the skating pond (real ice) where many skating artists did very interesting 'stunts', and close by, a few professional skiists were skiing down the mountain(on stilts)side. Photographers were present on various occasions during the Cong- ress-one was calling the sek. per'phone, less than five minutes after arrival at hotel. A group photo of the Banqueteers was taken while they waited the incoming viands—that is the only time it would be possible to have a group 'stay put'.-6u ne? Thanks to all for their wonderful toleration of the shortcomings of the office boy, and very small amount of criticism. I expect a certain amount of criticism-no one doing any- tthdjog can avoid criticism-and if I don't get it, I have to conclude that no one is paying any attention to me-and do not know whether I'm doing anything.-So don't hesitate. ******** * * * * *** ******* *** ** *** ** ***** ******* * XXXII Kongreso de EANA Krolewska 41, Varsovio, Polujo.

D, Callimahos Asserts Good Citizen Must Know the 'Language of the Mind' Esperanto Day was celebrated at izens of the world of tomorrow. the World's Pair yesterday with a program of music and folk dances of many countries in the Court of Peace that ended with the singing of "Yankee Doodle" in the interna- tional language. With a group of youthful repre- sentatives of foreign countries in their native costumes leading them, 1,000 delegates to the thirty-second annual congress of the Esperanto Association of North America, who held the third day of their confer- ence at the Fair, set the Court of Peace echoing with their song, its unfamiliar words a composite of the tongues of a number of coun- them. The first verse of their "Yankee Doodle" was: Ridu, ridu—ho, ho, hoi Plorado estas vana; Tutkore ridu-ho, ho, ho! Kaj ciam restu sana. Aside from this song, the only 'Esperanto heard was in a brief speech by Lambros Demetrios Cal- liamahos, noted flutist and an active member of the New York Esperan- to Society. His speech was trans- lated into English. Mr. Callimahos put forward the belief that to be a good citizen of any country one had to be a good member of the human race, and that to be this it was neces- sary to have two languages besides the mother tongue—"the language of the heart, which is music, and the language of the mind, which is for the widest uses Esperanto." Mr. Callimahos received a double ovation, for besides his speech he gave a group of three flute solos tented a cordial invitation to the Congress to hold the XXXIII annual Congress in their city in 1940.Unanimously accepted, We've met some of the folks from that city.,..
