NEW YORK, April 2S.-Foreig gn
bonds took the leadership in today's
trading. The feature was the French
712s at the high of tine year under
large transactions. Other French is
sues were quietly firm There was a
certain amount of profit taking, a
natural consequence of the recent
sustained rise. For the most part,
however, it was well absorbed. 1t
may be that the market will pause
now until the attitude of the French
government toward the procedure un-
der the Dawes plan is made clear. In
the central European group Jugo-
slav IS went to a new high. Buying
was said to be from the same sources
responsible for the recent advance.

The Workers Daily
BY ABRAM JAKIRA

The Daily Worker comes into ex-
istence due to the remarkable efforts
of thousands of workers Of this
country. 1t was on the funds sub
scribed to and contributed by thou
sands Of workers that made it pos
sible to begin the publication of the
first Communist daily in the English
language. And now that the Daily
Worker is no more a dream but a
reality the workers must not cease
to take the keenest interest in it.
1t is up to the militant workers to
boost the circulation of their daily
among their fellow workers in the
trade unions, shops, factories, mines
and mills.
Every reader of the Daily must
also become one of its regular cor
respondents. A Communist paper
must reflect the life of the workers.
This can be made possible only when
the workers themselves write for the
worker" about their everyday ex-
periences. II matters little whether
the articles and letters written by the
workers for their paper are written
in correct English or in polished
literary style. It is the contents, the
facts, that count.
The editorial staff of 1.-THE Daily
Worker will take care of the
literary side of such articles and
letters coming from the rank and
file, from the thousands of wage
slaves who make "The Daily Worker"
possible. Letters to "The Daily
Worker" coming from the rank and
file, even if not all published, serve
as source of inspiration to the
editors, enabling them to get direct
information about the needs of the
workers in various parts of the
country, of their bitter everyday
experiences.
The workers have made the APP
pearance of the Daily possible by
contributing the necessary funds.
They must now build its circulation
among the broad masses of their
fellow workers and must become
part and parcel of its editorial staff
LONG LIVE THE DAILY
