WORLD LANGUAGE
(To the Editor.)
Si r> it was with interest that I read in. your issue of the 3rd instant that Senator Abbott will, during his tour of the Dominion, endeavour to enlist the sympathy and co-operation of New Zealand public men in a movement to establish an international thought exchange" by utilising a common language to be compulsorily taught in primary and secondary schools ol the members comprising the League of Nations. It is noted that the Senator does not advocate any particular system of thought exchange, whether it be Esperanto, basic English, or any other medium; and it is to be hoped that when the matter is placed before our Parliament (as has been arranged for by Senator Abbott) the decision will be to refer the scheme to the League for consideration and adoption. New Zealand Esperantists will certainly wish the senator every success for'his scheme, the aim of which is identical with that of the Esperantist movement: the breaking down of international barriers in the 0* mutual . understanding and peace among the nations of the world.—l am, etc.,
ESPERANTISTO,
