I will state that there has been formed
in New York the American Branch of
the Common Commercial Language
Committees which now exist in ten or
twelve countries. The object of this
organization Is TO conduct business
by means of Esperanto and we under
stand that the organization is work
ing very successfully abroad.
The Committee is not as yet ready
to fulfill Commissions for business
enterprises but will be-as soon as its
correspondents are arranged for in var-
ious parts of the world and when 1t
gets in touch with the various foreign
Committees,
You can readily see that the ex-
penses of an organization of this kind
would be much less than that of any
other of a like nature, because wheth-
er business Commission is to be exc
cuted with China, Russia, France OF
italy, one language is used. If a Com
pany desires an advertisement to be
placed in some of the papers in a GER
tain country, their advertisement is
handed to the Secretary of the Com
mittee who translates it into Esperan-
to and sends it to his correspondent in
the City desired-who translates II
into the language of the country, has
it published as required, etc. The
Committee has access to an address
book of the names of about five thou
sand ~Esperantists in various parts of
the world and through those in the
important cities and correspondents
of foreign Committees, it will soon be
able to conduct foreign correspon-
dence in an efficient manner.
The Secretary of the Committee, Mr..
James Morton Of New York, who be-
sides having an excellent knowledge
of Esperanto, also speaks and writes
several of the most prominent Eu-
ropean languages.
Yours very truly,
