Canadians Are Proud
Of OratOrical Entry

Canadians, while hopeful that VIII

oratorical contest which has just been
held at Washington, would gain the
premier honors, nevertheless will be

honor, reflects great credit upon him.

reputation France has long enjoyed as
country whose oratory takes rank
with the worlds best, indeed, which
many feel leads the world.
Yet william Fox. jr., did well in this
contest. coming third in field OF
eight. And the fact that the first bal
lot Of the judges, tie, gave him first
place along with the representatives OF
France and Argentina, testifies to the
real merit of his address on "Canada's
Future" and its delivery. 1t is to the
credit o. this country that 1t is taking
so prominent a part in these interna-
tional oratorical contests. from year to
year. This participation is OF value not
only to CanadaS representatives In
these contests, but to the whole public
speaking movement among Canada's
younger generation. These contests
had their birth with Canada's con-
federation jubilee year in 1927, and 1t
is to be hoped they will continue a
fixture for years to come.
And there is feature of these con-
tests which is perhaps even more i'm
portant than the oratorical skill which
they kindle and develop. This Is the
service they render to the cause of
international good will and peace.
Every participant in the Washington
contest just held appears to have laid
stress on the Importance OF good VIII
among nations. This was notably the
case in the address of the speaker from
the Argentine. The earnest pleas OF
these young men for harmony among
the nations should inspire political
leaders in every country to fresh zeal
in translating such sentiments into
action.-The Regina, Saskatchewan,

When dull grows our condition,
We end the task and say, I'VE shall

To rest and go a-fishin'.

Foot ball, monarch of Autumn sport,

because a presidential campaign had
the hardwood to interfere with popular

the labor movement.
FederahAttack.
These evidences show that the at
tack was first launched to coincide
with the beginning of the country
vice open shop drive of the capitalist
class against the trade union move
ment. The attempt was then made to
eliminate the chief fighting organ of
the workers. When the Imprisonment
of its staff and the drain upon its
resources failed to stifle the paper,
the campaign was transferred to the
federal courts. This second more
elaborate attack was again timed to
coincide with the historic uprising of
The insurgent forces of the miners
union. In this movement The DAILY
WORKER for over two years has
been playing one of the guiding roles
ideologically.
The case against the paper in the
federal courts, it is now seen, will I'M
doubtedly be forced to an issue at
precisely the moment when the min
ers' movement and the rising forces
in the trade unions generally will
have come to the point of victory.
Delivery of the blow, according to all
indications, has also been timed for
the present moment when the finan-
cial crisis of The DAILY WORKER is
known to be at the most extreme
point in the history of the paper
Appeal to Workers.
In a much more definite and cri-
teal sense than has ever before been
the Workers Communist Party, to
stated the appeal to the members of
its sympathizers, and to the workers
in the labor movement generally must
now be made.
The DAILY WORKER must in the
next few days pay fine of $500. The
paper which during the past month
has been able to maintain it's exist
ence only by the most extreme mea-
sures from day to day and more lit
orally from hour to hour is faced with
this new blow. The life of The DAILY
WORKER in much more immediate
sense than has ever before been the
case hangs in the balance. The paper
must be saved to the labor movement.
1t must be here on April to record
the great and historic victory of the
Save the Union Committee of the
mine workers conference at Pitts
burgh. The DAILY WORKER must
be here to carry on the fight for the
five millions of unemployed workers
Of the country who can look to no
other source for leadership and for
the expression of their cause. The
paper must be kept here to carry on
the struggle against the imperialist
war in Nicaragua. And more than
all else the central organ of the
Workers (Communist) Party of Am
erica must be kept here to carry on
the struggle for the defense of the
Soviet Republic, the fatherland of all
the worlds workers.
The Answer!
The next few days will tell whether
such a response will come from the
workers of the country who under
stand the meaning of these facts. The
DAILY WORKER makes this earnest
appeal to the working class: Save our
paper! Rush funds by return mail by
special delivery, by wire. Next week
may be too late. Save The DAILY
WORKER!
