This took place at a meeting of representatives of many of the twenty-five British Societies, and individual Esperantists of both sexes, held in the Essex Hall, Strand. Our space does not admit of a verbatim report of the speeches, which can only be given in condensed form. On the motion of Mr. J. Rhodes (Keighley), seconded by Mr. C. E. Cowper (Deal), Mr. W. T. Stead was called to the chair. The chairman said the business of the evening was not to discuss the merits or demerits of Esperanto. They were met as a company of men and women who had come to the conclusion that Esperanto was the best thing going in the way of a key-language, and that it was their duty to decide how best to join their forces so as to make the best thing within sight available to the greatest number of people in the shortest possible time (hear, hear). When the movement began to spread it developed one or two features which he thought were rather hopeful. Persons with enterprise began here and there to see that if Esperanto was going to go, there was money in Esperanto. He had a great belief in things that had money in them (hear, hear). For this reason, that any good cause which would pay a 5 per cent. dividend would multiply and increase itself just as a tree would multiply itself by throwing off its seed; but any philanthropic or other public-spirited association which would pay no penny in dividend was like a telegraph pole set in the ground--it would stand until it rotted, but it would never breed another telegraph pole. So it was in relation to societies that were purely benevolent. But perhaps that was too bad to be suggested of this new organisation, which was to be a purely propagandist association. He should look upon it as representing what he might call the "Church" of Esperanto. He hoped there might be a profitable and revenue-producing "State" of Esperanto growing up outside with which their organisation would be in the closest possible manner associated, and while their business would be to preach the pure gospel of the cause, the other fellows would come along and gather up the shekels. As for themselves, they only wanted sufficient of the shekels to keep the matter going.
