T. ]. O'Flaherty the attention of
the workers. A
comrade who joined the Party
recently tells me in a letter
that he has followed this method
since he first began to read the
Communist daily. Others should
please do likewise.
WHILE on the subject of the Daily
p" Worker may we not again call
your attention to the subscription
drive now under way. We want
10000 more new subscribers and
this is the time to go after them.
The masses are excited ever politics
and this is good for them. But it is
not good for them to be fed on cap
itallst dope and the Daily Worker
is the only revolutionary daily pub
lished in the American language that
sets them right on questions of the
day and shows them the way to go
forward on the road to freedom
from capitalism.
EVERY intelligent radical knows
that the Daily Worker is pub
lished at loss. It's advertising
revenue is derived from ads from
chiropractors, vegetarian restau-
rants, dentists and good-natured
lawyers. At best this source of in
come cannot be but inadequate to
meet the heavy expenses that are
incurred in getting out a daily
paper. There is a deficit that must
be met.
THE Daily Worker deficit can be
reduced to a minimum by build
ing up a large circulation thru pre-
paid subscriptions. This will enable
the Management Committee to in
crease the paper in size and-now it
| can be told-to keep the editorial
and business office staffs in coffee
and doughnuts and an occasional
substantial meal. And the goal of
10000 new subscribers set by the
Management Committee in this cam
paign can be realized. Every mem
Der of the Workers (Communist)
Party should become a subscriber as
well as every Communist voter.
Should this be accomplished we
would have a circulation of at least
100000 by the end of the year. But
we are not utopians, and 10000 new
subs would make US quite happy.
1T is not necessary to tell you what
the Daily Worker is doing in
the class struggle. Suffice it to say
that in every fight of the workers
against the bosses the Daily Work
err is on the firing line. And where
the workers are passive it encourages
them to fight in an organized man.
ner because that is the only way
the workers can win better condi
tons now and train themselves for
the bigger fights to come. The
Daily Worker is not merely a work
ingclass newspaper, that presents
the workers side of the class strug-
gle in its news columns, it is an or
ganizer of the workers for battle
a g n S t capitalism under the
guidance and leadership of the
Workers (Communist) Party.
IN another page you will see
" sub blank and sub rates. Fill
out the blank, send check or money
order along and the Daily Worker
will be delivered at your door every
morning by letter carrier, who
could not be better employed than
distributing a Communist news
paper. Wall Street will elect its
candidate in November. That is
certain. But if the Daily Worker
adds 10000 new subscribers to its
list, there will be joy in Red Square.
EDITORIAL fears of great epi.
demic of corruption are being eN
pressed in the capitalist press. Tho
police are growing more corrupt
daily. Not satisfied with their sal
aries they are fastening themselves
on the payrolls of bootleggers and
other followers of the golden calf.
Their loyalty to the municipalities
that pay their wages decrease in in
verse ratio to the increase of the
honorariums of the business men.
