the miners and shopmen'S strike OF
1922, should have proven TO them
clearly enough that the capitalist
press is their greatest enemy and
that only a working class organ can
represent their interests. Will the
DAILY WORKER be able to supply
dals, adultery cases, murders and
attempt to pollute the minds Of the
workers with flow Of divorce scam
dnls, adultery cases, murders and
suicides; if it takes the mind Of the
workers to the REAL issues-whish
the capitalist press deliberately
svades by feeding the worker such
nauseating matter as shrieks out Of
their yellow sheets.
It win be big task for the Com
munists Of America to get the work
ers and farmers to read articles and
reports on the FACTS Of life. The
workers are so exhausted, so enerv-
ated by the daily work, that they seek
emotional and sexual excitement in
every kind Of social scandal. It will
be the biggest task that the American
Communists have set themselves to
awaken the interest Of the workers
and to make them fighters for the
support and extension of the Com
munist press. This task comes be-
fore all others. It should be the
MAIN task of the party-exceeding
all others. For without the DAILY
WORKER, the movement cannot
grow properly. With it, the Workers
Party will become power in the
country. The capitalists recognize
this fact, hence their loud laments
and complaints that the Communists
are allowed to establish daily. They
know the power of the press; they
know that the enthusiasm Of the
Communists and the following they
have acquired among the workers and
farmers will ensure the growth Of
the movement. AS they cannot meet
US with argument, they will use gov
nrnmental power and official intrigue
in order to keep US from reaching the
working class. So much the more
need OF the Communist daily.

ventures whose aim Is the exploita-
ton Of foreign sphere and whose re-
suit will be fearful wars? Only the
power of the workers. Despite the
hard blows that the American work
ers have received from the American
government, they will believe in it.
They still believe, in its democracy
and in the possibility Of putting
good" men into Office so that the
workers will benefit by it. When
their democratic" government calls
to war, they will go. Perhaps not so
readily as large numbers went in the
last war; but, when the capitalist

press either yields to the war mania,
or obeys the orders Of the govern
ment. It surrenders to the censor,
for fear of being suppressed alto
gether. Rather diluted or perverted

argue.
America is the biggest imperialist
power in the world. Secretary of
State Hughes might talk about dis
armament. Coolidge also believes in
peace, but he also believes in war.

ments. We want no more war. But
we want no weakness that invites dis
position. A people who neglect their
national defence are putting in
jeopardy their national honor E. i.
For I'VE are no longer a weak nation

Thus in his message to Congress. A
new devastating war faces the work
ing class and farmers, not of America
alone but Of the whole world. Who
are to mass the workers against the
war? Who are to help the workers
and peasants Of other countries to
oppose the coming imperialist war?
None but the Communists and the
Communist press.
Hence the workers of Soviet Rus
sia, the leaders and the Comrades Of
the rank and file, who understand his
tory, who know very much about
America, rejoice that the American
Communists have been able to estab-
lish an English Daily to reach the
masses. The comrades of all coun-
