Dear Miss Fairfax" she writes.

love. One thing is certain-you
can't count on his changing after
marriage.
AS long as your marriage lasts,
he is likely, from time to time,
to make eyes at pretty girls.

jealousy? If not. you will, IL you

Without doubt he loves you.
Throughout his flirtations, you
will be the One Woman who

OF course, q man who Is really

out the truthr-that above all else
in the world he wanted to reach
out his arms to this glorious
creature who was the wife of ST.
Pierre, this woman who had tried
to kill him and was sorry. He
knew that 1t was not desire for
beauty. It was the worship which
st. Pierre himself must have fer
this woman who was his wife.
And the shock OF 1t was like
conflagration sweeping through
him, leaving him dead and shriven,
like the crucified trees standing
in the wake of fire.
The Closed Door
A breath that was almost a
cry came from him, and his fists
knotted until they We're purple.
She was st. Pierre's wife! And
he, David Carrigan. proud Of his
honor, proud of the strength that
made him man, had dared covet
her in this hour when her hus-
band was gone!
He stared at the closed door,
beginning to cry out against him.
Self, and over him there swept
slowly and terribly another thing
the flame of his weakness, the
hopelessness of the thing that for
a space had eaten into him and
consumed him.
And as he stared, the door
opened and Nepapinas came in.
During the next quarter of an
hour David was as silent as the

NHE Harrisons were taking a
i cross country trip in their
car, and the three children were
having the Jest time of their
young lives. Every day they
drove miles and miles, stopping
along the way to rest and eat
and play. Once a day, at noon
or in the evening, they stopped
under the spreading branches of
a big tree and cooked their food
outdoors.
And so the six-day journey was
enjoyed. But along with the
pleasure Of that outing the young
Harrisons learned most valu-
able 1esson-that of preserving
public property.
They were never allowed to de-
face a tree. They were not per.
mitted to mar the landscape in
any way. They were encouraged
to leave the camping ground q

To The Daily Worker:

A HEARTY salute from France to
n the only Communist daily of the
English language!
Ever since its first publication, two
years ago, it's constant and surprising
progress has been noted with joy by
all those who, in this country, follow
with anxious eyes the evolution of
American Imperialism.
The masses are faced today with a
tragic dilemma: Either revolutionary
change and the seizure of power by
the working classes, or the most OPP
pressive tyranny by a monied oligar-
chy that the world has ever seen. The
capitalist class of America, as result
of the war, is extending to Europe its
formidable means of coercion and
crushing domination, and looks for
ward to exercising on sea and on land
an unquestionable supremacy.
Last year, under various pretenses,
16 million men in the United States
were marshalled in military reviews
and parades-, In a few years, the naval
power Of America will be second to
none. It's means of defense and attack
are being constantly increased and
perfected. In a word, the military,
naval, aerial as well as the economic
and financial stronghold of world
capitalism is now situated on the
other side of the Atlantic. In France,
despite her seventeen hundred thous-
and war victims, there is no question
whatsoever as to who won the war;"
In opposition to this formidable
power, the only hope of the exploited
masses in America and elsewhere is in
the longed-for awakening of the
working class OF the United States.
This is the reason why all the efforts
of the brave DAILY WORKER are
watched carefully and with the most
grateful appreciation and hope on
this side Of the water.
Friends, were you in need Of any
encouragement, you might rest assur-
ed that in erecting the foundations

prey for capitalist deceit than his
European brother. Furthermore Com
perism and the betrayal of the revo-
lutionary movement by the socialist
party have created a situation of un-
common and almost battling complica-
ton.
In spite of all, the encouraging pro-
gress of The DAILY WORKER in this
short two-year period is a sure war
rant of success and of unprecedented
development in near future. In
France, as in every country where
Communism is fast nearing its desti-
MES, the growth of the movement in
America measured by the influence of
its daily organ, is the object of the
most sympathetic and passionate in
terest.

class accurate and rapid Information
of all important events. 1t has always
kept its readers well grounded on all
events both national and international
of an economic and political import.
Today, the paper can well represent
the aspirations of the workers of
France, and voice the soul of the re-
volutionary vanguard of its exploited
masses.
Such is the destiny that lies before
the valiant organ of the American
workers. The Misunderstanding difficult
ties that it must surmount can hardly
be over-estimated. In no other country
are the powers of capitalist corruption
equal to those that curse the United
States.1i II anything, the American
worker is, for many reasons, an easier
