La simbolo taŭgas al la okazo. Ĉie en la mondo ni vidas grandan ondon de entuziasmo por la internacia lingvo. En USSRkaj aliaj orienteŭropaj landoj, en Brazilio, en Azio, la nerezistebla tajdo leviĝas. Homoj bonvolaj 6ie deziras disbati la lingvajn barilojn kiuj apartigas popolon de popolo. Hi amase aliĝas al la verdstela standar- do de Esperanto, la simbolo de la espero ke la tempo estas veninta por interkom- preno inter la popoloj de la mondo. Ĉi tiu Kongreso de la Venko lanĉu la grandan kampanjon por starigi la popol- ojn de Norda Ameriko en la avangardo de mondo dediĉita al paco kaj amikeco. Venu al la Kongreso! Congress number V. July 4 — 7, 1957. The symbol fits the occasion. Everywhere in the world we see a great wave of enthusiasm for the international language. In the USSR and other East European countries, in Brazil, in Asia, the irresistible tide is rising. People of good will everywhere want to smash the language barriers which sepa- rate people from people. They are flocking to the green-star standard of Esperanto, the symbol of hope that the time has come for understanding among the peoples of the world. Let this Victory Congress launch the great campaign to establish the peoples of North America in the vanguard of a world dedicated to peace and friendship. Come to the Congress!
