Esperantists Will Hold Congress in Jerusalem

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

The completion of the translation of the Bible into Esperanto, the international language invented by Dr. Leon Zamenhof, Jewish physician of Poland, was welcomed at the Eighteenth International Esperanto Congress, held at Edinburgh, Scotland.

The Congress also accepted enthusiastically a proposal that the forthcoming Esperanto Congress be held in Jerusalem. The proposal was made by Dr. A. Olswanger, representative of the Zionist Organization in Poland, who delivered before the Congress an address on the importance of Zionism from a general humanitarian standpoint. A lecture on the peculiarities of Jewish folk-lore was also delivered at the Congress.

A publication of the Keren Hayesod “Novaj Homoj,” was distributed among the delegates to the Esperanto Congress.
