Ralph Harry
Ralph Lindsay Harry AC CBE (10 March 19177 October 2002) was an Australian jurist and diplomat, Ambassador to the United Nations, and the nestor of the Australian Esperanto Movement.
==Family, youth and education==
Harry's father was director of a high school, and his mother descended from an influential family of politicians (the first Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives, Sir Frederick Holder, was his grandfather). Due to his above-average performance at school and as a student in his studies and in sports, he gained a Rhodes Scholarship which enabled him to study law at the University of Oxford, England.
In the 1930s Harry was active in Christian circles and tended towards pacifism. He started studying Esperanto in 1937. During the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, he participated in a congress of the World Christian Youth Movement in The Hague, Netherlands. Due to the atrocities of the war he started doubting the existence of God and whether pacifism was an adequate way to a better world. His ideal became practical, non-revolutionary action within the existing international institutions, which led him to become a diplomat.
