THE  LIVING  FACT OF  ESPERANTO
^^URDSfG the past summer more than 9,000 and perhaps as many as
4^ 11,000 people from all countries outside the iron curtain attended
conferences at which Esperanto was the only or the principal language
spoken. They have proved again, if such proof were still needed, that
Esperanto is a living fact and that it is, above all, an effective confer-
ence language, saving time, money and nerves and putting all delegates,
regardless of mother tongue, on a footing of equality.
The largest of these conferences was the Thirty-Seventh Universal
Esperanto Congress held at Oslo, Norway, with the participation of about
1,700 persons from 35 countries. Dr. Frederick W. Breth, who represented
the Esperanto Association of North America at the Congress, recently
told one of our groups in New York that the governments of Norway, Swe-
den, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, France, Western Germany, Indo-
nesia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Uruguay were of-
ficially represented and that the Mayor of Oslo, the Honorable Brynjulf
Bull, delivered two speeches in fluent Esperanto.
Other international conferences at which Esperanto was spoken dur-
ing the past summer were held at Ry, Denmark (Esperanto youth organi-
zation), Lindau, Germany (railroad employees), Barcelona, Spain (Catho-
lics), Diisseldorf, Germany (workers), Bauge, France (dedication of the
chateau of Gresillon as a cultural center of the Esperanto movement),
Worgl, Austria (dedication of a monument honoring Dr. L. L. Zamenhof,
author of Esperanto).
In view of such recent examples of the effective use of Esperanto as
a conference language it should be pointed out that the language prob-
lems of the United Nations continue to become more and more compli-
cated. The U.N. General Assembly, which convened October 14 in its
new home on New York's East River, found on its agenda, as item No. 65,
a proposal to make Spanish a third working language (in addition to Eng-
lish and French) for the Economic and Social Council and its functional
Commissions. Delegates were told that this will involve additional ex-
penditures of from $312,000 (minimum) to $524,000 (maximum). While
Spanish has a good chance of winning this fight for "equal rights", French
has lost a similar fight on another front: The French edition of the semi-
monthly United Nations Bulletin was discontinued recently, for budget-
ary reasons. The "battle of the languages" is far from being over in the
United Nations.
It is good news, therefore, that there is a chance that the Esperanto
Petition to the United Nations, which was presented at Lake Success in
August 1950 and was later referred by the U.N. to UNESCO, will be dis-
cussed at the forthcoming General Conference of UNESCO (the United
Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization), scheduled
to open at Paris November 12.

ESPERANTO IN ACTION
At Be/o Horizonte, capital of the Brazilian State of Minas Geraes,
more than 70 high school and elementary school teachers, in attendance
at a vacation session of the State Teachers College, studied Esperanto
in a class taught by Professor J.B.Mello e Souza, of Rio de Janeiro.
The class lasted twenty days, at the rate of one lesson a day.
Policemen at The Hague, Netherlands, are authorized to wear a green
star on their uniform sleeve if they know Esperanto well enough to be of
help to Esperanto-speaking visitors from abroad.
The Austrian Railroad Administration has granted permission for
announcements listing local Esperanto clubs and Esperanto delegates
to be posted at all railroad stations.
An important medical journal in France, the "Journal de Medecine de
Lyon", prints Esperanto summaries of all its articles.
Several Adult Schools in New Jersey now feature Esperanto classes.
The 1952-53 catalogues of both the South Orange-Maplewood and the
Madison-Chatham Adult Schools contain announcements of Esperanto
classes with short explanations about the world interlanguage. At Prince-
ton an Esperanto exhibition was held in connection with the recent State
Conference of Adult Schools.
In  Canberra, Australia's tiny, but rapidly growing Federal capital,
an Esperanto Club was founded recently under the presidency of Ralph
Harry, an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Harry was one of
the translators of the Esperanto text of the U.N.'s Universal Declaration
of Human Rights.
An electrotechnical textbook for Dutch schools and colleges, by
J. R. G. Isbrucker, contains an index in Esperanto and English as well
as in Dutch. The author is the President of the Esperanto Academy.
In the Lebanon Republic, a student at the American University of
Beirut, Mr. Abul Dahab, is successfully promoting Esperanto. He recently
won second prize in a public speaking contest on "How Can I Best Serve
My Fellow Men?" He spoke about Esperanto.
The City Council of Glinde, near Hamburg, Germany, voted unani-
mously to name a street Esperanto-Weg (Esperanto Lane). This was pro-
posed by the mayor.
The Finnish Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars
decided at its recent convention at Tampere to ask the International
Grand Lodge to make Esperanto one of its official languages and to
publish Esperanto articles in its international magazine.
66
In England, a new Esperanto Textbook, "International Language for
Scouts", by George Rust, Editor of Skolta Mondo, an international scout
magazine in Esperanto, was financed by the Gene Scott Memorial Fund.
Gene Scott was a young Englishman, active in the Scout Esperanto move-
ment. He became a pilot in the United States Air Force during the war
and died in an air accident. His American life insurance supplied the
fund by means of which his father now supports causes which had been
dear to his son's heart.
A Masonic Lodge, "L. Zamenhof", all of whose members speak Es-
peranto, was founded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, recently. It is the second
lodge of its kind in the world, the first being Lodge No. 454, Loĝio Es-
peranto,   in Paris, France.
Americano", organ of the Athletic and Recreation Association of the
staff of the Holland-America Line, at Rotterdam, some time ago publish-
ed an effective article by H. Osthoek, urging members to learn Esperanto.
In Brazil, the State Conference of the Spiritualists of Rio Grande do
Sul passed a resolution urging all Spiritualists to learn Esperanto and
use the Interlanguage for world contacts with other Spiritualists.
The American Catholic Sociological Review, published at Loyola
University, Chicago, contains in its June 1952 issue an item about the
International Commission on Esperanto and Sociology. Dr. W. Solzbacher
of the U.S., is Chairman, and C.J. Keur of the Netherlands, is Secretary.
The International Red Cross meeting, held recently in Toronto, Cana-
da, boasted at least one delegate who was an Esperantist. She was Mrs.
Liive Larrson, a member of the parliament of Finland.
Illustrated publicity folders or booklets in Esperanto were published
recently by the city administrations or chambers of commerce of Ant-
werp and Bruges (Belgium), Mulhouse (France), Gorinchem (Netherlands),
Hamburg, Cologne, Bonn, Duesseldorf, Nuremberg, Bingen (Germany),
Thun (Switzerland), Bologna and Padova (Italy), Vaasa (Finland), Trond-
heim (Norway), Jamaka (Japan). Esperanto folders were also published
by the West German Railroads, the Belgian Youth Hostels, and the Lar-
vik-Frederikshavn Ferryboat Company of Oslo, which operates ferry-
boats between Norway and Denmark.
In Japan, Esperanto clubs are now in existence at about 30 univer-
sities and 50 high schools.
In Sweden, 14,000 regular Esperanto textbooks and 215,000 Esper-
anto "keys" (miniature text & dictionary) were sold in the five-year-
period, 1945 - 1950, according to the Svenska Esperanto-Tidningen.
A significant experiment will be conducted in February 1953 at the
School of Integrative Social Research, Ipsden near Oxford, England.
Simultaneously an Italian Study Group, an Esperanto Study Group, and
a Research and Observation Group will be conducted by highly qualified
leaders, with the assistance of a number of philologists, psychologists,
and social scientists. Results in the study of Italian and Esperanto
will be compared.
A  PROJECT  CALLED  INTERLINGUA
William Solzbacher, Ph. D.
£*SPERANTO has been in existence for 65 years and in practical use
G*' on an ever increasing scale for almost 50 years. Its application in
all fields of human endeavor has demonstrated that it is a satisfactory
solution of the world language problem. It is a living language, i.e. it
combines stability with capacity for growth and adaptation to changing
needs and circumstances. It is the only living interlanguage, not a mere
experimental blueprint, and there is no need to waste time on comparing
it with hundreds of language projects which appear from time to time and
try to attract attention.
Interlingua, one of the latest of these projects, presents a somewhat
special case because its sponsors use the names of many famous people,
including several leaders of the Esperanto movement, thus creating the
erroneous impression that these persons have cooperated with the author,
Dr. Alexander Gode, in producing the project. A famous linguist, who
was temporarily misled, wrote to me some time ago: "It did seem to me
that Interlingua made rather extraordinary claims in the introduction...,
but it did not occur to me to question them or draw the fine distinctions
that are apparently called for. I am afraid that if I could be drawn into
error by their wording, so can many other people, and perhaps someone
should do something about it."
Interlingua is the product of an organization called The International
Auxiliary Language Association in the United States, founded in New
York in 1924 by Mrs. Alice Vanderbilt Morris, who always personally
maintained complete control of its policies and organization.lt stated in
its Outline of Program: "The Association (IALA) has no intention of de-
veloping or promoting any new language. In regard to different systems,
its function is merely to serve as a neutral clearing house for study and
information."
In its early years IALA obtained a grant from the Carnegie Founda-
tion to the Institute of Educational Research of Teachers College, Col-
umbia University, for experimentation to "ascertain the relative ease of
learning constructed languages and natural languages." "Constructed
languages" should have read "Esperanto", because the late Professor
Edward L.Thorndike, under whose direction the experimentation was con-
ducted, found that in fact Esperanto was the only constructed language
in which classes were held regularly. Tests were prepared for Esperanto
and for Ido, a "reformed" Esperanto which had a limited following at that
time. In fact, the tests were administered in 20 Esperanto classes and
one Ido class (the only such class available in a three-year period from
1925 to 1927). Comparing results in these classes with those obtained
in French, Spanish, German, and Italian classes, Professor Thorndike
found that "with expenditures of from ten to a hundred hours, the achieve-
ment in the synthetic language will probably be from five to fifteen times
that in a natural language, according to the difficulty of the latter."
In 1933 — for reasons which have never been fully explained—IALA
changed its policy of conducting independent and impartial research and
began to manufacture a language project of its own, largely disregarding
68
its previous experience and the findings of its own research. The Thorn-
dike experiments proved, for instance, that the regularized table of cor-
relatives is one of the factors which make Esperanto easy to learn.
IALA's staff, however, went deliberately in the opposite direction, en-
grossed in an effort to elaborate what it called a "naturalistic" lan-
guage. The product is Interlingua, which in many ways is like Peano's
project of 1903 with precisely the same name — Interlingua.
The sponsors of Interlingua are guilty of many extravagant and mis-
leading claims. They use the names of famous people who never had the
slightest connection with the present product. These men and women
showed interest in IALA when it was an impartial research organization,
manyof them expecting that in the end it would support Esperanto. Some of
those whose names appear in IALA's literature are known to be strongly
opposed to Interlingua, e. g. Professors Pierre Bovet, Bjorn Collinder,
William E. Collinson, Edmond Privat, Alf Sommerfelt, or such leaders in
the Esperanto movement as General Louis Bastien, Mr. and Mrs. G. Alan
Connor, Andreo Cseh, etc.
In its latest literature IALA omits from its name the phrase "in the
United States", thus giving the erroneous impression that it is an inter-
national rather than a purely American organization.
In no sense is Interlingua the product of impartial linguistic research.
Up to this year, as far as I know, IALA's policy-making body, the Board
of Directors, had never included a professional linguist. The new Board
seems to contain two linguists, one of them a present, the other a former
member of IALA's salaried staff. From time to time linguists of consid-
erable fame cooperated with IALA, but never for very long. They quit
when disagreements arose with Mrs. Morris, who always remained in full
control. In at least one instance, IALA completely abandoned a research
project initiated at its request, when it did not develop in the direction
desired by Mrs. Morris. This was a plan of educational research under-
taken by Professor Pierre Bovet and the Institut Jean-Jacques Rousseau
of the University of Geneva. The findings of this research, highly favor-
able to Esperanto, were published three years ago by the Swedish Esper-
anto Federation (See Large Scale Experiment Shows Results of Esper-
anto Teaching, American Esperanto Magazine, March-April 1950.)
Lack of space makes it impossible to present here a complete criti-
cal analysis of Interlingua's dictionary and grammar. Let me give just
a few reasons why I consider, this language project amateurish, imprac-
tical, ambiguous, and difficult to learn.
IALA's principle of going back to the "prototype" of words found in
three out of four "control languages" (English, French, Spanish-Portu-
guese, Italian) produces a huge number of ambiguities: patrono means
both patron and pattern; stato means state, State, estate, and status;
radio means ray, radio, and radius; specie means species and spice;
musculo means muscle and mussel; musco means moss and musk; canal
means canal and channel; palatin is the adjective of both palace and
palate; etc. In English, practical necessity has produced the differenti-
ation between these words; Interlingua sets the clock back.
In contrast to Esperanto, which uses prefixes and suffixes as its
most important word-building and time-saving device and assigns to each
69
a clear and distinct meaning, Interlingua's prefixes and suffixes are
vague, and exceptions are more numerous than regular forms. The suffix
-ario is supposed to mean "person concerned with..." or "person char-
acterized by..." or "collection of..." or "place containing..." or "place
containing a collection of..." Thus, since can means dog, canario should
mean "a man who has to do with dogs", "a kennel", or "a collection of
dogs"; in fact it means a canary. The word salario, which should mean
"a salt dealer" or "a salt container", is salary. Numerario should mean
"numbers man" or "collection of numbers"; the Interlingua dictionary
says it means currency. Cellario is not "the cell man" or "a collection
of cells", but cellar. The suffix -alia is supposed to mean "worthless
collection of...s." Canalia, however, is not a "worthless collection of
dogs", but rabble or mob.
-or, -ente, -ia, -alia are all Interlingua suffixes, and there is a root
ten- (tener means to hold). However, tenor is tenor; tenente, tenant; te-
nia, tapeworm; and tenalia, pincers. It's all very discouraging for any-
one who might wish to learn this language. Professor Thorndike's report
on "Language Learning", sponsored by IALA, contains a chapter on "The
Danger of Ambiguity in Derivatives in Synthetic Languages." Apparently
no one on IALA's research staff bothered studying it.
There are more ambiguities in Interlingua than in any natural lan-
guage. This is a fatal weakness because an interlanguage is no one's
mother tongue and is, therefore, bound to suffer to a greater degree from
unclear phrasing.
Interlingua has no phonetic spelling, no uniform stress, lots of strange
word forms. Phosphoro, for instance, exists in no living language. Es-
peranto's fosforo is more natural because it exists in Italian, Spanish,
and Portuguese. Amita (accent on first syllable) is about the strangest
word anyone could have dreamed up for aunt.
Perhaps it is true that Interlingua can be read at sight by polyglots,
i. e. those who need an interlanguage less than anyone else. Writing and
speaking it is bound to be extremely difficult. Maybe Dr. Gode can do it.
I am sure that no other member of IALA's Board of Directors is able to
write and speak the language, even in an elementary way.
Interlingua is about as difficult to learn as Spanish or Italian. It is
not as precise nor as useful as any of them. It completely lacks the
qualities which have made Esperanto, in the words of 27 members of the
French Academy of Sciences, "a masterpiece of logic and simplicity."
Experience has shown that new language projects trying to compete
with Esperanto cannot succeed. As far back as the year 1903 Peano's
Interlingua failed completely, and IALA's Interlingua of today would
seem to have no better chance than its progenitor.
Thirty years ago the League of Nations pointed out the dangers of
such efforts in its report on Esperanto as an International Auxiliary Lan-
guage, in which it stated: "It is in the interest of the world to have one
auxiliary language, not two or three, and, from a practical point of view,
there is less risk in taking one of which some experience has been gained
and which has already attained some tradition and a guarantee of lasting
unity."   That one auxiliary language is the living Esperanto.

COTTRELL: SAMARITAN OF SCIENCE        £fp
tjREDERICK GARDNER COTTRELL (1877-1948), inventor of theCot-
t/ trell precipitator, pioneer in the development of nitrogen fixation
plants and the cyclotron, and founder of Research Corporation, is one of
the most fascinating figures in modern science. He once said about him-
self: "This chasing of scientific visions which are just on the border line
between hooey and history is a great life if you don't weaken." His pio-
neering activities reached far beyond his narrow field of specialization
and included work for the solution of the world language problem and for
Esperanto. For many years he was a member of the Esperanto Associa-
tion of North America and of the Universal Esperanto Association.
Frank Cameron's recent book, Cottrell: Samaritan of Science, gives
us as lively a picture of this extraordinary Californian as we shall ever
get. Before writing his book, Cameron read 10,000 letters and documents
and a diary which Cottrell kept faithfully for forty years. He also inter-
viewed about 150 people.
Cottrell's interest in Esperanto runs through many pages of the book.
Cottrell had heard of Esperanto and its author Zamenhof when he stud-
ied under Wilhelm Ostwald in Germany. He actually joined the Esperanto
movement in 1914. It happened as follows:
"Then one day in 1914, at the San Francisco Engineers' Club (where
the scheme to dissipate fog had originated, he sat next to an electrica
engineer who was reading a not quite familiar-looking pamphlet. 'What's
wrong with that Italian?' Cottrell could not resist asking. The enginee:
laughed and replied that it was not Italian but Esperanto —a language he
sometimes found of use in corresponding with the engineering staffs o\
Russian railroads with whom he occasionally dealt. To Cottrell, who had
long been baffled by orthodox foreign tongues, the moment was historic...
"Never a faddist, Cottrell approached the movement in a mood of seri-
ous inquiry. His work with the Bureau of Mines brought him in contact
with many campuses where he normally would have confined his business
to the scientific departments. Now, however, his newly developed taste
for Esperanto led him to seek out also the philologists, the etymologists
and the linguists, where to his vast astonishment he found unmitigatec
intellectual snobbishness. He first tried the University of California anc
there discovered that, while nearly everyone had heard of Esperanto, then
was no active interest or any real knowledge of it; yet to Cottrell here
was just the forward-looking kind of development which one should natu-
rally expect to find in most active ferment behind university walls. It was
a shock. He next took it up with members of the American Associatior
for the Advancement of Science at a meeting in San Francisco, only tc
find 'mild interest but no real enthusiasm'. ..
"Nevertheless, between the time he adopted the study of Esperanto
in 1914 and his trip to Europe in 1919, the subject became one more 'hor
izontal' with which to intercept the 'vertical' interest of a friend, an ac-
quaintance, or whatever intelligently sympathetic person happened to be
sitting in the opposite Pullman seat. In lonely hotel rooms he read it a-
loud to himself. Some of his less hurried letters to Jess (his wife) were
in Esperanto, and where there were cities that had Esperanto Clubs
71
Cottrell established himself as one of the fraternity.. .
"He took the matter to Walcott (Dr. Charles D. Walcott, Secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution in Washington), urging that the Smithsonian
Institution 'undertake work bearing on the subject of an international
auxiliary language.'... Although Walcott was interested and used Cot-
trell's appeal as a basis for discussion with Regents Alexander Graham
Bell, and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, what encouragement he received
is not on record..."
On his second trip to Europe after World War I, in 1921, Cottrell got
really going: "When he somehow got word that George Eastman, whose
reputation for philanthropy was second only to that linking his name with
Kodak, was to be a passenger on the Aquitania, Cottrell canceled his
budgeted passage on the Lapland and submitted to the luxury of the large
liner. He had no introduction to Eastman but he was in a sense an anx-
ious mother with an ungainly, marriageable daughter whose beauty could
only be considered as inner, and these have always found the milieu of a
transatlantic liner particularly well adapted for adroit maneuver.
"It took several days to achieve speaking terms with Eastman but the
result was a two-hour talk. He found Eastman 'approachable and respon-
sive.' Eastman admitted having once bought some Esperanto books but
had failed to follow up the subject. Cottrell did not press his luck and
tactfully postponed the subject of money.
"There were others on board whom Cottrell wooed. Nicholas Murray
Butler surprised him by displaying an affable familiarity with his reputa-
tion and work and promised to bring the language project to the attention
of the Carnegie Foundation, with which he was connected. Marshall Field
III ('a fine young fellow, very modest and clear-headed') expressed a
sympathetic interest in the idea..."
In Europe Dr. Cottrell visited leaders of the Esperanto movement and
discussed the language problem with scientific and political notabilities.
While attending the Thirteenth Universal Esperanto Congress at Prague,
he wrote his wife: "I had to leave on the present trip with Dr. Nitobe,
Assistant Secretary-General of the League of Nations, to attend the In-
ternational Congress of Esperantists... Dinner tonight with Dr. Nitobe
and Mr. Beneŝ, Czechoslovak Minister of Foreign Affairs..."
After dreaming for a long time of finding someone with money and lei-
sure to undertake some high class promotion work for Esperanto, Dr. Cot-
trell met the late Mr. and Mrs. Dave Hennen Morris in 1922. This led to
the establishment of the International Auxiliary Language Association
in the United States (IALA) in 1924. At first somewhat favorable to Es-
peranto, IALA later developed in another direction and lost its first im-
petus. Cameron's book does not mention what part Cottrell played in
this, probably because the documents and Cottrell's diary were not suf-
ficiently specific about the subject-
We know,however, that Dr. Cottrell never lost his interest in the pro-
gress of Esperanto. Less than two years before his death, at the Cosmos
Club in Washington, D.C.,he had a long talk with Joseph Leahy, the for-
mer General Secretary of the Esperanto Association of North America,
discussing with lively interest the latest news about the practical uses
of Esperanto and the activities of our Association.

tran Oficejon de EANA F-ino Forrest el Vancouver. Si kaj ŝia frato
Bruce Forrest vigle laboras en la Esperanto-Klubo de Vancouver. Si ra-
portis, ke la Klubo regule kunvenas kiel socia rondo, kaj de tempo al
tempo ricevas vizitojn de gastoj el eksterlando. La grupo nun pristudas
eblecon starigi kurson de Esperanto en lernejo por plenkreskuloj.
Patro kaj filo, 67. P. kaj G. S. Whitfield en provincoj Brita Kolombio
kaj Alberto, nove aliĝis al EANA. Lau nia informo estis la patro kiu in-
teresigis  la filon.  Brava laboro! Ni bonvenigas  ilin  ambaŭ.
Trevor Baker de Ontario, planas aktivan helpon al EANA post siaj
studoj en kolegio. Li skribis: "Mi deziras sciigi vin, ke mi danke ricev-
adas novafojn pri Esperanto kaj la afero por kiu ni ĉiuj laboras. Kiam
mi finos miajn studojn, mi sincere deziras lerni paroli Esperanton kaj
antaŭenigi  gin.  Plej  grandan  sukceson al vi."
G. Norman McKinney de Ontario, sendante sian jarkotizon al EANA
skribis jene: "Daton de renovigo mi ne memoras. Do mi nun sendas mian
pagon kiel Membro-Patrono. Mono estas por elspezi, ĉu ne, tiel longe

Ĉiuj legantoj de Heroldo kiuj havas distingopovon scias, ke redaktoro Tec
mg regule favoras la ruĝan vidpunkton en sia gazeto. Kompreneble la redaktorc
' Heroldo ne estas komunisto — li estas nur "oportunisto".  Jung penas plaĉi a]
imunistaj instancoj malantaŭ la fera kurteno, esperante teni daŭran akceptador
abonoj al Heroldo en tiuj landoj. Pro tio, ekzemple 16-9-52, li presis artikol-
"El Raporto el Norda Koreo", menciante pri "libera popolo (sub komunista re-
mo)"-kaj "braveco, heroeco kajpersista pacierico de (komunistaj) militantoj".
l la sama numero estis dek aliaj artikoletoj pli malpli favoraj al komunismo.
ij en la antaŭa numero 25-8-52, li plendis al la komunistaj instancoj pro ilia
sendo de Heroldo el Cehoslovakio:  "La kaŭzon de la reveno ni ne komprenas,
r ĝuste en tiu numero ni publikigis, interalie,.,.tradukon de poemo el nuntempa
la (komunista)eldonafo   La Plej Forta Voĉo de la Paco\"
Do, ne surprizis nin, kiam Teo Jung presis artikolon nPor Reorganizo de la
ona Esperanto-Movado", helpante al la komunistema flanko de la usona mov-
o, kaj atakante la landan asocion EANA kiu havas kontraŭ-komunisman ten-
icon. Influas al Jung, ke la komunistemaj "reorganizantoj" promesas aboni al
roldo kiel organode lanovagrupo! Ankaŭ ne surprizis nin, kiam Jung ne presis
eron de viktimo de komunismo, responde al letero en Heroldo kontrau" uzo de
peranto en la usona armeo. Ni volonte presas tiun leteron sube, de lama Vik-
•o responde al S-ro Ĥ. Volkert en Heroldo kiu dufoje ĝuis presigon de leteroj
: la vidpunkto de la "kolombo de paco"!
Nia nord-eiiropa amiko klarigis: "... mi tuj skribis al la redaktoro de Heroldo
eron, esprimante mian vidpunkton tute kontrauan al tiu de s-ro Volkert. Ci-
ie mi sendas al vi kopion. Okaze se la redaktoro de Heroldo rifuzos aperigi
in leteron, mi donas mian artikoleton por aperigi en AE. Sajnas al mi, ke estas
danĝere lasi la naivan opinion de s-ro Volkert pri pacifismo nerespondita.
:ere nuntempe ankaŭ ĉiuj komunistoj nomas sin pacifistoj tiel, ke oni baldau
plu scias kiam temas pri vere honestaj pacifistoj kaj kiam pri la subfosantoj
la demokratiaj reĝimoj." Jen letero kiun Heroldo ne presis:
VAN A PROTEST ADO —
El Ameriko atingis nin la novaĵo: parto de la usona armeo ekuzisf Esperanton
siaj manovroj. Kaj kompreneble tuj venis la atendita reakcio flanke de kelkaj
lideanoj, kiuj nomas sin pacifistoj kaj veraj zamenhofanoj. Hi eĉ serioze in-
;is niajn oficialajn organizojn al protestado.
Kial? Kian rajton ni havas protesti kontraŭ kia ajn uzo de la internacia help-
;vo? Esperanto estas la lingvo, kiu apartenas al la tuta homaro kaj ne estas
opolo de certa sekto aŭ movado. Tion deklaris jam Zamenhof mem.
Esperanto ludis iam gravan rolon ankau en Sovetio. Ciuj esperantistoj ĝojis
:iu progreso kaj neniu protestis. Sed la registaro, kiu tiam subtenis nian lin-
i ne estis tute ordinara: ĝi akiris la potencon post sanga revolucio, regis per
ro kaj ĝia fincelo estis kaj estas - la mondrevolucio.
Kial do protesti nun, kiam unu el la plej grandaj demokratiaj regnoj en la
do ekuzas Esperanton? Kelkaj okcident-eŭropaj samideanoj bedaurinde jam
esis tion, ke la usona armeo helpis liberigi Ettropon el sub la germana nazi-
mo. Nun ĝi estas la solagarantio kontraŭ la perforta enkonduko de komunismo
nia tuta kontinento.  En tiu okazo nia movado estos likvidata en la tuta Eŭ-
kaj pliaj milionoj da kompatindaj viktimoj finos sian vivon en koncentrejoj.
ibereco de ciuj individuoj, kaj ne la unuflanka pacifismo kiu celas ekstermi
estas laŭ* mia opinio la plej alta idealo.
,a okcidenta mondo — inter ili ankau la esperantistaro —devus esti solidara,
levus kunlabori anstatau subfosi nian propran grundon per vanaj protestoj.
— lama Viktimo
POR KE TIUJ  KIUJ ESTAS BLINDAJ POVU  LEGI
Ci tiu artikolo estas resume- de parolado, kiun faris nia blinda
samideano Henry Kruse, Jr. antaŭ la Literatura kaj Praktika Es-
peranto-Grupo en New York.
C7NE antikvaj tempoj estis blinduloj inter la homaro, kaj ili fariĝis so-
<-*—) cia problemo.  Car ili ne povis sin vivsubteni en la antikva ekono-
mio, ili plej ofte mortis aŭ estis mortigitaj.  Eĉ tiam, tamen, estis multaj
blindaj metiistoj, ekzemple vagantaj muzikistoj kaj poetoj.   Primitivaj
popoloj ĉiam bezonis personojn por kanti pri iliaj bravaj venkoj.
Ĉiuj aŭdis pri la
fama blinda Homero,
kiu verŝajne estis tia
vagmuzikisto. Sed la
plej granda parto de
la blinduloj restisĝis
modernaj tempoj nur
almozpetantoj. Nun-
tempe, la blindulo po-
vas sin mem subteni,
se nur vidantoj kom-
prenas kaj fidas pri
lia kapablo. Tiu fak-
to estas dank* al mo-
dernaj edukmetodoj.
Tiun edukon kom-
encis Valentin Haiiy
en la jaro 1783, kiam
li fondisen Parizo la
Instituton Nacian de
Junaj Blinduloj. Haiiy
edukis per alfabeto
de grandaj levitaj li-

Louis Braille.	
1809 - 1852	
teroj havantaj la form-
ojn deordinaraj nigre
presataj literoj.
Post proksimume
kvindek jaroj, Louis
Braille elpensis palp-
alfabeton por blind-
uloj, kiu hodiaŭ por-
tas lian nomon. Fran-
ce kaj angle ĝi nom-
iĝas braille, kaj Es-
perante brajlo.
Braille estis unue
studento kaj poste
instruisto de orgen-
muziko en la Pariza
lernejo. Car li kredis,
ke sukcesa blinda mu-
zikisto devas skribi
kaj legi sian muzikon,
Braille elpensis sian
sespunktan sistemon
de palpskribo.
Poste lialĝustigis ĝin por ordinara legado. Braille bonesciis, ke lev-
itaj punktoj estas pli palpeblaj ol levitaj linioj, kaj ke la plej bona sis-
temo de palpskribo estu plej simpla. Ciu el liaj literoj1 kaj signoj form-
iĝas el unu ĝis ses punktoj en sespunkta ĉelo. El tiuj punktoj oni povas
fari sesdek-tri diversajn kombinojn. Eĉ hodiaŭ la plej granda nombro da
blinduloj opinias, ke la brajla sistemo estas la plej bona palpskribo iam
elpensita. Oni povas presi brajle,kaj oni povas skribi ĝin per brajlskrib-
maŝino aŭ per mano.
Spite de la boneco de la brajla sistemo kaj ĝia populareco inter la
blinduloj mem, la estraro de la lernejo en Parizo malaprobis ĝin kaj mal-
permesis ĝian uzon. Oni eĈ malpermesis, ke Braille instruu per sia sis-
temo. Li mortis forgesita_ kaj malkontenta en Januaro 1852, kaj estis en-
tombigita en sia naskiĝvilaĝo Coupvray, Francujo. Tien senĉese pilgri-
mas blinduloj kaj blindulamikoj. Nur nuntempe, je la centjara datreveno
de HamortOjOni planastranslokigi lian korponalinda tombejoen Parizo.
Je proksimume la sama tempo,kiam Louis Braille enkondukis sian sis-
77
temon, fondiĝis tri unuaj Usonaj privataj lernejoj por blinduloj. En ĉi
tiuj lernejoj kaj en la multaj Ŝtataj lernejoj, kiuj baldaŭ poste fondiĝis
en Usono, oni uzis levitajn literojn simile al la Haiiy-sistemo.Pliposte
oni edukis per American Braille, kiu estas adaptaĵo de la originala brajla
sistemo. En 1918 ĉiuj blindullernejoj kaj blindulpresejoj en Usono kon-
sentis uzi sistemon nomatan reviziita angla brajlo, grade- unu kaj duono.
Dum la lastaj jaroj komitato de Unesco por Unuforma Brajlo aranĝis
konferencojn, kie edukistoj kaj presistoj de samlingvaj grupoj interkon-
sentis pri unuformaj brajlaj sistemoj por siaj lingvoj. Tiuj konferencoj
jam sukcesis pri Proksima kaj Meza Oriento, Afriko, kaj Hispan- kaj
Portugal-lingvaj landoj. Ankorau necesas nur unuformigi la brajlajn sis-
temojn de la Malproksima Oriento.
Restas por priskribi, eble la plej gravan,plej antaŭvidantan hodiauan
klopodon pri brajlo: la Esperanto-movado inter la blinduloj. Eble estas
nekredeble, sed proporcie estas pli da blindaj Esperantistoj ol vidantaj.
El la 268 regule presataj brajlaj revuoj en la mondo, kvin estas en Es-
peranto. Kial la blinduloj tiel sin turnas al Esperanto? Car ili mem pli
multe bezonas ĝin, kaj tial pli bone komprenas" la ĝeneralan bezonon de
Esperanto. Brajla presado estas multekosta, kaj blinduloj ne havas mul-
tan monon. Tial la internacia pruntprenado de brajlaĵoj estas speciale
necesa.
Estis surdblinda Sveda lingvisto Harald Thilander, kiu unue komen-
cis klopodi por Esperanto inter la blinduloj. Tuj Ham li mem eklernis
Esperanton, li komencis agiti por ĝia uzo inter blinduloj. Sub lia influo
Profesoro Carte de Francujo fondis en 1904 la unuan Esperantan brajlan
revuon Esperantc-Ligilo. Post kelkaj jaroj Thilander mem fariĝis brajl-
presisto, kaj de tiam li regule redaktis kaj presis la revuon.
Krom la Esperantaj brajlaj gazetoj, estas ankaŭ brajlaj libroj publik-
igitaj Esperante.Nur antaŭ nelonge fondiĝis Internacia Esperanta Brajla
Biblioteko en Francujo, de kiu iu ajn blinda Esperantisto rajtas prunte-
preni librojn per poŝto. ĵus fondiĝis Ligo Internacia de Blindaj Esper-
antistoj. Gi celas plibonigi la vivkondiĉojn de la tutmonda blindularo,
kaj plidisvastigi la uzon de Esperanto.

ESPERANTO-KRONIKO
En la itato New Jersey, niaj fervoraj membroj Don Walton, Henry
Kruse, Elsie Yunghans, Dorothy McCusker kaj Connie Davis fervore kaj
sukcese laboras en la Lernejoj por Plenkreskuloj. Tri tiaj lernejoj metis
Esperanton en sian studplanon. En Newark jam komenciĝis unu kurso
kun 15 lernantoj.
Raportoj pri la EANA-Kongreso en Sacramento kaj pri diversaj Es-
peranto-laboroj de la membroj dum la somero konsistigis la interesan
programon de kunveno de la Literatura kaj Praktika Esperanto-Grupo en
New York la 6an de Septembro.
D-ro Cecil Stockard, Bradentown, Florida, kiu estis Prezidanto de
EANA dum la malfacilaj militjaroj de 1942 al 1946, vizitis nian Centran
Oficejon dum sia restado en New York komence de Septembro. La tagon
antau lia forveturo okazis amika tagmanĝo en japana restoracio, en kiu
partoprenis D-ro Stockard; la nuna Prezidanto de EANA, D-ro Solzbacher;
la Prezidanto de la Propaganda Komitato, D-ro Sloan; kaj Ges-roj Connor.
La libro "Esperanto: The World Interlanguage" nun ekzistas en brajla
eldono por blinduloj. Faris la laboron volontulinoj de la Ruĝa Kruco, por
helpi al nia eminenta blinda samideano Henry Kruse Jr. prepari sin por
instrui kurson de Esperanto ĉi-aŭtune.
Usonaj almanakoj kaj jarlibroj en la nuna jaro denove enhavas men-
cion (kun adreso) pri la Esperanto-Asocio de Nord-Ameriko: The World
Almanac (p. 594), The New International Year Book (p. 185 kaj p. 558),
Funk & Wagnails New Standard Encyclopedia Year Book (p.394).
En Newark, N. J., D-ro George A. Maggio instruas du kursojn de Es-
peranto — unu por komencantoj en kiu partoprenas kuracistoj el la
Newark-areo, kaj unu kiel daurigo de lia sukcesa kurso pasintjare.
Partoprenas kuracistoj, flegistinoj, fratulinoj, kaj membroj de la loka
Klubo de Leonoj. En somera eldono de la Bulteno de la Medicina Asocio
en konteo Essex aperis letero pri Esperanto, skribita de D-ro Maggio.
Dumsomere en Claremont, N. H., F-ino Dorothy McCusker parolis pri
Esperanto antaŭ la loka klubo de Rotarianoj. Kunhelpis en la afero S-ro
Allan Hutcheon, kiu nun preparas kurson de Esperanto en tiu urbo.
En la "Los Angeles Times" de 27 Aŭgusto aperis letero pri Esper-
anto, skribita de S-ro Charles Chomette. Li lerte refutis diraĵon, ke "ĉiuj
interlingvoj restis tute sensukcesaj", per trafaj ekzemploj de nuntempa
uzo de Esperanto.
En Newport, Washington, Pastro R. W. Mason anoncas novan kurson
de Esperanto sub lia gvidado. La kursanoj uzos la diskojn kaj metodon
de la "Connor Course".
En "The Spencer Times", Spencer, Iowa, aperis longa artikolo kun
kongres-foto pri la 24a Kongreso de EANA. Skribis la artikolon nia ko-
nata samideano Konrad Kail, kiam li kaj lia edzino S-ino Maud Kail
partoprenis en la Kongreso.

Peer Gynt, de Henrik Ibsen. Tradukita po-
ezie el la norvega lingvo de Erling Hau-
sen. Eldona Rondo, Novegujo, 1951. 258 p.
Tolbindita. Havebla de EANA, $2.35.
El ĉiu literatura lingvo venis unu verko super ĉiuj aliaj atentinda.
Ekzemple, el la Germana venis Faŭsto, el la Itala Infero, el la Hispana
Don Kihoto, kaj el la Norvega Peer Gynt. Ĉi tiu la plej nova el la "mo-
dernaj-klasikoj" aperintaj en Esperanto, certe valoras la aĉeton, precipe
de tiuj, kiuj ne povis regi la lingvajn komplikaĵojn de la aliaj menciitaj
verko j.
Mallonge, la temo de la rakonto estas jena: Peer Gynt estas norvega
junulo, kiu havas inklinon ŝerce kaj iom fantazie mensogi, tio estas, bla-
gi. (La unua frazo en la dramo estas: Peer, vi blagas!) La rakonto pre-
zentas la aventurojn kaj misaventurojn de Peer, dum li trairas la vivon
penante "esti si mem", malgrau pluraj malhelpoj,plejparte de li mem kaxl-
zitaj. Oni povas legi la libron kaj ĝui scenojn el la norvega kampara vi-
vo; oni povas kompate sekvi la erarplenajn spertojn de nia heroo; kaj oni
povas samtempe filozofie studi la duon-kaŝitan signifon de liaj travivajbj.
Detala komentariopri la kvinaktoj, kaj (bedaŭrinde ne tute kompletaj)
notoj al individuaj frazoj ebligas plene ĝui la verkon. Tri tre mallongaj
legend-noveloj troviĝas por kompletigi la senton pri hejmeco en la nor-
vega literaturo.
Lingve, la verko estas facile legata. Preskaŭ senescepte mankas en
la poezio la malfacilafoj kutime trovataj. Kelkloke la vortoj uzitaj ne es-
tas tute simplaj, sed ne ĝenas leganton kun bona imago aŭ vortaro. En-
tute: interesa kaj valora havafo.                          —Donald R. Broadribb
