In Washington, ID. G,
next week, as delegates
10 the sixth International Congress
OF Esperanto, there will be no babel
Of voices and CONFUSION of speech,
for they have at their tongues end
q common language in which they
can converse freely-Esperanto, the
adherents of which hail it as the
long sought international means of
communication.
When the sons of Noah began to
build the Tower of Babel, as told in
the Book of Genesis. the whole
earth was of one language and of
one speech" But the Lord, in his
wrath, COMPOUNDED their language,
that they may not understand one
another's speech" From then until
row it seems to have been the dream
of all true linguists to create a COM
mon tongue for all mankind. This
Esperanto claims to be-not for the
purpose of supplanting the mother
tongues of the great nations of the
world, however, but simply as an aux
Hilary language between them when
desired.
From August IA to 20, delegations
of Esperantists from nearly every
country on the globe will convene in
the capital city of the nation totrans-
act the business necessary to the dis
xcmination of their idiom. Approx
