that the fountain lacks is a tradition
similar to tnat connected with the

travellers throw pennies to insure
their return to the Eternal City.
THE Bartholdi Fountain in the
Botanic Gardens is notable among
the most bea utiful of these works.
Fifty years ago the fathers or grand
fathers of this generation saw that
masterpiece Of sculpture made by the
same artist who afterward made the
Statue of Liberty in New York Har,
Dor. It stood just outside the main
building of the Centennial Exposition
at Philadelphia. AS nothing at that
great exhibit attracted more atten-
ton, Congress purchased it in 1877,
when the doors of the fair were closed.
This imposing fountain, said to be
one of the important pieces of sculp-
ture in America, breathes an atmo-
sphere of quiet recreation. The three
caryatides in form Of graceful maid

with arms extended to support a
large, ornate basin. 13 feet in diam
eter. over which cooling streams
shower from above. Their classic
beauty and ease of posture attract
the attention. Above the large basin
three roguish infant tritons crouch
under a smaller basin, also shedding
water over its sides. The whole IS
surmounted by mural crown and
has its setting in a 90-foot marble
basin, in which are colorful water
lilies.
Where will this fountain be placed

The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-09
The Dawes Plan

600 is too small proportion for The
DAILY WORKER to really be a pow
erful influence on the American work
ing class.
The DAILY WORKER is not the
effective influence which it should be
because our Party has not made it
so. The Party has the possibility of
broadening the influence of The DAILY
WORKER. With 10000 members to
do the work, the achievement of a
circulation of $4,000 for The DAILY
WORKER is well within our reach.
The Subscription Campaign.
THE subscription campaign for The
L DAILY WORKER in which the
Party is being modified at the pres
emit time is the first step toward
achieving this double goal-the mobi-
lization of the Party to make The
DAILY WORKER the means of mobi-
LIKING the Party for action and of in
fluencing broad masses of workers
along the line of the Party policy.
The Party must take up the sub
scription campaign in earnest. 1t must
at last mobilize it's strength not mere
ly to raise the money necessary to
save The DAILY WORKER for our
movement as we did during the past
month, but to make The DAILY
WORKER an effective servant of our
movement.
We must throw our strength as a
unit into the work of first making
every member of the Party a reader
and subscriber for The DAILY WORK
Err and then to increase the influence
of The DAILY WORKER to at least
three times the membership of the
Party. This means to secure $4,000
subscribers for The DAILY WORK
Err.
That means only that in addition TO
every Party member being a. reader
and subscriber for The DAILY WORK
Err, that each Party member must
secure two additional subscribers.
The immediate goal which The
DAILY WORKER has set for its cam
paign to add 5000 new readers, thus
Increasing its circulation to 10000.
The achievement OF this goal, how
ever, should only be the beginning
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-09

II the day after such an event as
the exclusion of Saklatvala, or the
delivery OF the presidents message
to congress, 10000 members of our
Party in the shops, in the trade UNI
ions, in the workers fraternal organ
izations, all took the same attitude,
began work to carry into effect GER
tain policies, then indeed our power
of influencing the working masses of
this country would be greatly enhanc.
ed. Even with our small Party of
10000 members we would have the
power to mobilize great masses of
workers in support of our views and
our campaigns of action against the
capitalist class and the capitalist
state.
A great step will have been taken
in the direction if every Party mem
Der becomes a subscriber of The
DAILY WORKER and each day learns
what the Party has to say in regard
to the events Of the class struggle and
is quickly informed in regard to the
action undertaken by the Party.
Mobilization of the Masses.
OUR paper, however, cannot be only
~ Party organ for the mobilization
of the Party members.
1t must be a medium of the Party
to directly influence the working
masses of this country. At the pres
ent time we are interpreting the days
news for only some $4,000 readers of
The DAILY WORKER. We are speak
ing to $4,000 out of the twenty-five
million workers in the United States
Yes, we have on the rolls of our
Party at least 10000 members. Ger
tainly 10000 Communists should be
able to spread their daily voice re-
presented by The DAILY WORKER
among more than $1,000 workers. To
day The DAILY WORKER may carry
the most interesting news, as for in
stance, the story of how China is be-
ing raped, which was published few
days ago. 1t may carry the most inter-
esting analysis Of current events and
propose the most effective plans OF
action by the workers against their
exploiters, but only $4,000 workers
will read the news articles, editorials
and program. $4,000 out Of 25,OOO.-
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1926-01-09

We must continue the campaign for
The DAILY WORKER in the form of
mobilizing our Party to secure sub
scriptions until we double and TRIBE
the immediate goal we have set for
ourselves.
The Party has shown in the sup
port it has given The DAILY WORK
Err financially that it realizes the i'm
portance of daily newspaper to our
movement. Important as was the
campaign for money to save The
DAILY WORKER, the campaign for
subscriptions which is now being
opened is even more important. Of
what value is it to us to have a DAILY
WORKER unless we make it serve
our movement to the full extent of its
possibilities.
The DAILY WORKER is only worth
saving if we can make use of its full
possibilities for the upbuilding of the
Party and the Communist movement.
That can only be done if we broaden
the number of it's readers. BY doing
that we will make The DAILY WORK
Err serve the Party and will make
secure The DAILY WORKER for the
Party.
FORWARD, all together, for 5000
4 new subscribers before the end
of January.
Then for the next step forward, a
continuous mobilization of the Party
until we drive the subscription list up
to $4,000.
The way to celebrate. the second
anniversary of The DAILY WORKER
by making it more powerful weapon
Of the Communist movement.
1t should be within the reach of
our Party, if we mobilize our strength
for this work, to increase the $4,000
readers to $4,000 readers.
Even then we would be reaching
only very small part of the working
class of this country but we would
have made big step forward from
the present situation. II our Party
Is to become really powerful polit-
ical influence in the lives OF the
American workers we must take this
step forward. We must broaden the
number of workers to whom we speak
thru The DAILY WORKER.
