ESPERANTO CONGRESS
MEETING IN WELLINGTON • TO-DAY The tenth New Zealand Esperanto Congress, conducted under the auspices of the New Zealand Esperanto Association, will take place in Wellington from to-day until January 2. The Mayor of Wellington (Mr T. C. A. Hislop) will officially open the congress at 2 p.m. The president •of the New Zealand Esperanto Association fMr Bertram Potts, J.P.) says that many important matters will come before the congress. The movement had made great progress in all parts of the world as was shown by the numbers of books, both original and translated, which had appeared in Esperanto. The world today sorely needed this' simple international language, which would enable the peoples of the world to understand each other and to appreciate to a greater degree each others’ problems.
