East Meets West atSfSU
It seems unlikely that circumstances will soon
combine to provide a program more inviting than
that offered to Esperantists at San Francisco State
University this sunnier (30 June/25 July).
Director of the Workshop will, for the sixth
consecutive year, be William Auld of Scotland. For
the first time, Auld will be assisted by an Espe-
ranto instructor from abroad, Tatsuo Fujimoto of
Japan.
Fujimoto learned the international language
in 1953, subsequently becoming a member of the
Japanese Esperanto League and the famous Kansai
League of Esperanto Groups. In 1968 and 1969, he
spent eight months in Europe as an agent of Expo
'70, collecting ethnological artifacts. During
this time he used Esperanto for official communica-
tions t local Esperantists serving as interpreters.
He is currently a professional Esperanto instructor
at the .Oomoto Seminary.
Aside from teaching at the Seminary, Fujimoto
has led several dozen "live-inst" a form of inten-
sive course popular in Japan, wherein course mem-
bers live together for several days. In Hamburg
last summer, he led the first Beginners' Conver-
sational Circle ever organized in the cadre of a
World Esperanto Congress. The enthusiastic response
of all concerned may mean that a tradition has
been sett                                                                      v
In addition to his own writing in Japanese and
Esperanto-, Fujimoto has translated a number of
works from one language to the other, including a
translation into Japanese of Edmond Privat's bio-
graphy of the creator of Esperanto, Vivo de
Zamenhof. The record disc ABC de Esperanto is a
guide to correct Esperanto pronunciation spoken by
Fujimoto.
For the SFSU Workshop, Fujimoto will teach a
special course on the Japanese Esperanto movement,
probably the largest and most vigorous in the world
today. He plans to use Masao Miyamoto's Historieto
de la japana Esperanto-movado (now in process of
publication) as text. Other course texts are
listed below:

An unexpected bonus for course members will
be the possibility of looking in on the World
Citizens Assembly, which will also take place at
SFSU (20/25 July). Among the members of the
Assembly's Japanese contingent will be Eizo Itoo,
who will address the Assembly in Esperanto. •
IMPORTANT; As reported last issue, it will
be possible to take the Advanced and Licentiate
Examinations of the British Esperanto Association
at the SFSU Workshop. Prof. Auld must be notified
in advance by all who wish to take either of these
examinations. In addition, those wishing to take
the Licentiate must send an original work in
Esperanto of approximately one thousand words,
together with a preliminary fee which can be paid
in the form of two international reply coupons
(these can be bought at most post offices). The
subject of the work is at the discretion of the
examinee. Notice of intention to take either of
these examinations must reach Prof. William Auld,
20 Harviestoun Road, Dollar, Clacks., Scotland
FK14 7HG, before 25 June. Those interested in
taking the elementary or intermediate examination
should contact the Central Office of ELNA, P. 0.
Box 508, Burlingame, CA 94010.
Esperanto is gaining attention and respect
from linguists and educators, but it is a slow
process. The vast majority of Americans do not
know what Esperanto is; our potential base of sup-
port is large, but so is the problem of reaching
all those people. While we strive to build our
membership and expand our program and services to
members, we must also move out in the realms of
public relations and fund-raising.
Two task forces will be developed within the
month after this issue appears. One will be con-
cerned with developing a larger capacity for public
information about Esperanto, the other with funding
—for increased staffing, teacher training, re-
search, publications, student travel, and many
other projects.
I would like to hear directly from ELNA mem-
bers who are acquainted with or interested in
these matters. Ideas for projects are welcome.
We will be cooperating in these endeavors with the
World Esperanto Association (UEA) through its new
president, one of our own members, Dr. Humphrey
Tonkin.
It is necessary to ask again that you renew
your membership, recruit new members, and donate
generously to the deserving and too little-known
cause of Esperanto in America. Please contact me
directly about bequests or unusually large gifts.
All donations to ELNA are tax-deductible.
The annual meeting this year at the 23rd ELNA
Congress in Brattleboro will provide a unique op-
portunity for language learning in a beautiful
setting. Registration is growing at a steady pace.
Let us hear from you soon if you can possibly comei
(If unexpected changes in plan make it impossible
for you to attend the Congress, advance rental and
half of Congress fee will be refundable until 15
July.)
In deference to our neighbors across the bor-
ders , the Esperanto League for North America should
consider changing its name. Since we are now
re-incorporating, this is the time. I will present
the matter in Brattleboro, but would like to know
your thoughts beforehand. How do you like Esperanto
League of the U. S.?
(Reactions to this message should be addressed
directly to the President of ELNA, E. James Lieber-
man, M. D., 6451 Barnaby Street N. W., Washington,
DC 20015.)

ELNA President Speaks
Esperanto organizations are fueled by the
idealism of a few and by the persistent, dogged ef-
forts of even fewer. ELNA fits this pattern and
has during the two decades I have been a member.
Our membership figures are holding up in
spite of recession and inflation—a combination
that -burdens small organisations and often crushes
them. We have a well-edited and attractive News-
letter, bilingual, which appears six times""^r"
year. The book service is busy. Esperanto courses
are available more widely than ever, through
schools and colleges, and via cassette tapes and
records. All this represents the fruit of years
of work and the groundwork before it.

La okcidentaspekta paro nldekstre estas nlaj
anoj Bill kaj Lucy Harmon, ĉe la 14a Tohuku-K

1973.
Kongreso,
Usonaj geesperantistoj en Japanujo
Antaŭ nelonge revenis esperantista paro Bill
kaĵ Lucy Harmon el Japanujo, kie ili logis txi
jarojn, dum kiuj s-ro Harmon tie reprezentis sian
firmaon. Dank1 al la internacia lingvo kaj ties
eksterordinara disvastigiteco en Japanujo, ges-roj
Harmon tre malofte sentis sin izolitaj.
"Mi ankoraŭ ne kompletigis la statistikon,"
skribas s-ro Harmon, "sed laŭ la unaa kontrolo
ŝajnas, ke Lusi kaj/aŭ mi partoprenis...almenau 58
kunsidojn Esperantajn, partoprenis 7 Icunlocjadojn,

Sandor Jakov el Hungario, Kees Ruig el
Julius Balbin el Usono, Jean kaj Raymonde Selle el
Francio, Wm. Schmid el Germanio, Glaŭco Pompilio
el Italio/Nederlando, kaj aliajn.... Do nia hejmo,
al nia granda plezuro, aspektis kiel UN ofte."
S-ro Harmon kompreneble havis multegajn okazojn
noti la lingvan problemon ĉe neesperantistoj. Kiel
ano de la inteligentula organizo Mensa (kaj, kom-
preneble, de ties esp-ista sekcio Espermenso), li
trovis, ke la loka Mensa-movado disduigas en du
grupojn: tiujn, kiuj uzas la anglan, dominan lin-
gvon de "Mensa International", kaj tiujn, kiuj
volas starigi Mensa-movadon japanlingvan.
S-ino Harmon havis simile interesajn spertojn
ce la japanaj esperantistinoj, trovante, ke ili
estas multe pli liberaj en la movado ol ekstere.
Ankoraŭ en Japanujo estas kutime ne inkluzivi la
edzinon en ekz. vesperaj festaj renkontigoj. Tian
sintenon malakceptas j apanaj esperantistinoj, kiuj
partoprenas kaj ja grandparte organizes la movadon
plenkore, eventuale kun helpo de la edzoi
Ke, reveninte en Usonon, s-ro Harmon ne inten-
cas forlasi siajn klopodojn por la lingvo inter-
nacia, evidentigas la paĝo E-7 de £i tiu numero.
Letero de liberama leganto
En la artikolo "Kial ne lerni Esperanton", oni
legas la frazon: "Ni jes yolas ke Esperanto instru-
igu kiel deviga fako en ciuj lernej-sistemoj...."
Min genas tiu frazo^kaj la implico de la paragrafo
gin sekvanta, car sajne gi estas deklarita je la
nomo de ĉiuj ELNA-anoj. Mi kredas ke la plej efika
rimedo jjor fari Esperanton malamata de ciuj homoj ,
estas gin devige instrui. Milionoj da studentoj
jam malamas la francan aŭ hispanan aŭ latinan lin-
gvon. Kial? Cu car tiuj lingvoj estas malfacilaj?
Jen tiu porcio da la kaliforaia konferencanaro, kiu restis
ĝim la lasta tago por la adlaŭa aataraanĝo.
Parte, sed ĉefe car ili devis studi iun lingvon.
Krome, Esperanto estas ja nur relative facila, kaj

entuziasmulo. Mi tre amas Esperanton, kiel dirus
iu ajn kiu konas min, kaj mi tute malvolas vidi
malplacon de estontaj registoj direktatan kontraŭ
nia jam luktanta movado.
Kiom da tiuj, kiuj subtenas devigadon de
Esperanto, mem lernis en deviga kurso? Ni ĉiuj
sercas mallongan vojon al nia celo, sed £i tiu
vojo estas tro mallonga. Se vere ni fidus ke Es-
peranto estas utila, ni povus fidi ke lernanto
lernos kiam li sentos la veran bezonon ĝin utiligi,
cu en lernejo, cu en adolteco. Petas mi nur ke
niaj studentoj lernu kiel mi mem lernis: car mi
volis, ne car mi devis. ELNA-anoj, ni ne lasu al
nia entuziasmo konduki nin en perdigan marĉon de
devigado.
Mi scias ke ĉio ĉi estas malfacila punkto por
multaj Esperantistoj, kaj min interesus audi pli
da opinioj pri tiu temo.
—Kevino Karmodo, 7 Patriots Way, Hingham, MA 02043.
(Ankaŭ la redaktoron interesus tio. Ni volas nur
ripeti la _ analogion al aritmetiko, kiu mem estas
multe malŝatata studobjekto, kiun la socio tamen
lernigas al siaj inf anoj, car tiuj trovos ĝin
neces*»en la estonta vivado. Estas nia kredo, ke
Esperanto, se instruata ĉie, povus fariĝi e£ pli
utila ol la aritmetiko. Sed ni invitas diskuton
—kaj disputon:)

"State arid Revolution", their "Communist Manifesto", their "Spiritual Exercises" of Saint Ignatius,
etc.; they do not lack the philosophical bases of political culture and religious culture. The
cultural background of their language is certainly not lacking. On the contrary, it is in one sense
wider than the background of any national language, for the cultural background of Esperanto is not
built exclusively on world-renowned figures such as Shakespeare and Dante and Confucius, but also on
the Hungarian Petofi, the Czech Havllcek Borovsky, the Esthonian Marie Under, the Bulgarian Vazov,
and others otherwise almost unknown outside their own linguistic territory.

MLA Seminar Themes Set
The Modern Language Association will once
again dedicate professional attention, in the form
of two seminars at its Annual Meeting (San Fran-
cisco, 26/29 December 1975), to the world language
problem and its solution.
Dr. Dennis Q. Mclnerny of Bradley University
(Peoria, IL) will chair the seminar on Esperanto
Language and literature, which will focus on
original Esperanto literature. Because translation
from Esperanto is still relatively rare, little is
known about its poetry and prose outside the actual
Esperanto-using community, a problem this seminar
will attempt partially to remedy.
The theme of the seminar on Ihterlinguistics,
proposed by the seminar's chairman of last year,
Dr. Julius Balbin, will be the definition of the
term "interlinguistics" itself. The term has been
used in a number of different ways since its first
use by Otto Jespersen in 1931. MLA members inter-
ested in socio-linguistics, interlinguistics and
Esperantology are expected to contribute to the
discussion. Chairman of this seminar will be Dr.
Robert St. Clair of the University of Louisville,
Kentucky.
Hungarian Labor Leader for Esperanto
The December 1974 issue of Hungarian Trade
Union News reports that Sandor GaspSr, General
Secretary of the Central Council of Hungarian Trade
Unions, supports the use of the international lan-
guage in world labor organizations.
"Our trade union leaders and activists and
our members visit many different parts of the
world. This enables us to see the work of foreign
trade unions for ourselves and to learn of their
work and struggles. This is why we also want to
develop our contacts with the trade unions in the
capitalist countries, and, I hope and believe,
these contacts will be even more extensive in the
future.... Obviously, the language barrier is a
difficulty for us and for other officials, dele-
gates and all trade union members and workers who
do not speak the same language....
"We therefore willingly cooperate with those
trade unions which consider that Esperanto could
facilitate contacts between trade unions and their
members in the different countries and mutual
understanding. When a suitable opportunity arises
we are therefore prepared to recommend in inter-
national trade union forums that a position be
adopted on support for the Esperanto language and
that we promote its widespread adoption in the
interests of more direct contacts between workers
and of better understanding."
This is only one of many instances of official
support for Esperanto in Hungary. Because the
Hungarian language is a member of the tiny Finno-
Ugric linguistic community which includes Finnish
and Estonian, its speakers feel linguistic isola-
tion much more sharply than most Europeans, and
consequently give broad-based support to Esperanto
as a means of breaking through this isolation.
English-Language Broadcasts Cut
This April Deutsche Welle, official shortwave
voice of the Federal Republic of Germany, discon-
tinued its special three-hour daily program for
North America in American English, releasing most
of the personnel involved in preparing the broad-
casts to U. S. listening tastes.
The station will now broadcast only two twenty-
minute news bulletins each day, prepared by the
remaining English-language staff, which continues
the broadcasts for Africa, Asia and Australasia.
In contrast, the station has lengthened the
German-language broadcasts to North America to a
full eight hours a day. It is, however, not likely
that these programs will reach the typical V. S.
listener, as the traditional German-American com-*
munities are for the most part already assimilated
and anglicized. And the study of German, like that

International lumen's Year Activities Planned
The President of the World Esperanto Associa-
tion (UEA), Dr. Humphrey Tonkin, has announced the
membership of UEA's Organizing Committee on Inter-
national Women's Year. The task of the Committee
will be to plan and direct the contribution of the
Association to the activities of IWY. Chairing
the Committee will be Mrs. Elsbeth Bormann of the
Federal Republic of Germany. Joining Mrs. Bormann
as members of the committee are Mrs. Ursula Gratta-
paglia of Brazil, Mrs. Yukiko Isobe of Japan, Mrs.
Elizabeta Pall6s of Hungary and Mr. lb Schleicher
of Denmark.
Mrs. Bormann is by profession a children's
nurse, and was one of the organizers of the 59th
World Esperanto Congress in Hamburg in 1974. Mrs.
Isobe is director of the Daiwa Corporation, a com-
mercial enterprise in Tokyo. She also directs the
Japanese Esperanto Institute. Mrs. Pallos is an
economist, and Mr. Schleicher an engineer. Mrs^
Grattapaglia emigrated from Italy one year ago
with her husband and children, and is now a teacher
in an Esperanto-speaking community in the Brazilian
hinterland.
The year 1975 was declared International
Women's Year by the United Nations General Assembly
two years ago. The main purpose of the Year is to
emphasize the vital role of women in the various
countries and cultures of the world, and to haSteh
the achievement of equal rights for women in all
countries—not only legal rights but also social
and cultural equality. The principal event of the
campaign will be the Conference on International
Women's Year, which will take place in Mexico City
from 19 June to 2 July. Representing UEA in this
conference will be Mr. Mark Starr (U. S. A.) and
Professor Maria Luisa S. de Bancalari (Mexico).
Because of its severely limited staff, the
Central Office of ELNA has been unable to fulfill
all its tasks as punctually as we would like. One
of the reasons for the tardiness of this issue has
been the preparation of the membership directory
enclosed with this issue. We are confident that
you will find that ELNA-Adresaro was well worth
waiting for. Our thanks to Conrad Fisher, who
created the distinctive design on the cover, and
to ELNA Archivist Dr. B. J. Balcar, who compiled
the list of ELNA Congresses and made a number of
valuable suggestions.
The next issue should follow on the heels of
this one, after which we hope to maintain a punc-
tuality marked by each issue entering the post
office by the first day of the second month of the
publication date. To maintain this rhythm, the
deadline for receiving material must be the first
of the previous month, except in the case of
particularly urgent matters, which would in any
case have to be in by the fifteenth to allow for
printing and postal preparation. Members are
requested to cooperate by keeping us supplied with
news and pictures. We are happy to report that we
are receiving many more club bulletins of late,
but we still need pictures, especially of activi-
ties away from the West Coast. The ideal picture
is black-and-white, of approximately the same
width as this column (3" to 3%"), but we can use
any pictures. Club meetings, speakers, foreign
visitors, picnics, displays—these and many other
subjects deserve to be shared with the general
membership through a picture or two. It is a good
idea to send several photos, with description and,
if you want them back, return address, on the back
of each picture.
It is not possible to get out the Newsletter
on time and process book orders as soon as they
are received. Clients, please be understanding
about delays. Note UEA's plea that its own book
service must suffer for lack of a full-time mana-
ger (Esperanto, Feb. 1975). Like UEA, ELNA lacks
an employee who can devote himself entirely to the
book service. If you find that you need books on
the spur of the moment for courses, please keep a
spare supply on hand. Some portion of every club's
budget should be dedicated to "stockpiling" text-
books for local use.
Book buyers can save us much paperwork by
noting the price changes and deletions shown in
the comprehensive booklist appendix in this issue.
Less paperwork means faster service for everyone!
Another way in which clubs can help is by
collecting dues for ELNA and UEA. The treasurer
can collect dues for the local,' national and inter-
national organizations in one check, afterwards
distributing the non-club portion to the Treasurer
of EUIA and the National Representative (Cefdele-
gito) of UEA. This small gesture can mean more,
members for all three organizations.
One more item: Please make sure you send in
the Membership Survey in the last issue. This will
make ELNA's information service much more effec-
tive, as we will be able to put inquirers directly
in touch with local activists through use of the
information you provide.
The Editor regrets having taken so much space
with various pleas, but this is all necessary
groundwork for future ELNA projects. The best is
yet to come!
