Unless the world became internationally minded, there was no hope of saving civilisation, said Mr W. Nash, M.P., speaking at the formal opening of the fifth annual congress of the New Zealand Esperanto Association in Wellington this week. It was Esperanto's contribution to the problem of bringing the nations together in understanding that it had founded a method which afforded a common basis for adequate communication. He considered that the work that Esperantists were doing was imperative in the world to-day. Esperanto ,was not only a language, he said. It was an idea also—the idea that people can live, and in the ultimate must live with one another in truth and justice.
