Members Must Complete
the One Days Pay Fund
Drive By End of the Week
Emergency Must Be Overcon1e IN Order
to Meet Tasks Facing Party
and Daily Worker

Two weeks have passed since the Central
Committee issued the call to the Party men,
bership and the working class for $4,000
Communist Party-Daily Worker Emergency
Fund. The word emergency" was not used
as an empty term. 1t indicated the situation
of the Party and it's chief organ, The Daily
Worker. The emergency exists primarily be-
cause of the heavy burdens placed upon the
Party in this period of developing class strug-
gles characterized by the working class go
ing over to the offensive against the capitalist
class. We face real emergency inasmuch as
shortage OF funds deprive us of the resources
with which to wage the fight. And when the
Party OF the working class is handicapped in
carrying out it's tasks the whole working class
suffers.
In line with the policy of sef-criticism we must saw
epnaca that thus far the membership of the Party has
not responded as quickly as it ought to have done
decision that each Party member be assessed One DAVIS Paw
There has been ample time to this decision but
in spite of admirable response most sections of the
Pary there are still units and individual members who have
not yet met their obligation. THIS CONDITION MUST BE
REMEDlED AT ONCE If you haven't had nav day since
the issuance of the call for the fund.- YOU should
borrow the equivalent of days pay raise it among
friends and place in the hands the Party unctonarv
designated to handle the fund.
Many workers who not members of the PARTY and
VINO realize the necessity of Strengthening whole fight
ing apparatus have donated days pay and some of them
have donated much half weeks pay while still others
have sent in weeks to help the Daily in the present
difficult situation. Other workers. not members of the
Par have taken the question of the $4,000 Emergency
Fund In their unions and wormen raterna societies and
obtained donations to the Fund Certainly there is some
thing sadly lacking in the Party member does not do
equally much to strengthen his Party and the non
Party workers. Such results prove thng-hat there
are workers outside the Party who feel deeply the ee
menary needs of the working class some of the Party
members
Comrades! We have tremendous campaigns on foot
the defense of the Gasona strike victims who are in the
shadow OF the electric chair the campaign for international
Day Against mperast War; the drive for successful con-
ference OF the Trade Union Educational League to
consolidate the militant trade union forces the country
the elemental campaign of enlightenment the ranks of our
fary SO that we will be able to meet the problems today
In revolutionary manner. TO NEGLECT TO PAY AT
ONCE YOUR ONE DAYS WAGE TO THE EMERGENCY
FUND is TO INJURE THE PARTY WORK. TO ENDAN-
GER THE DAILY WORKER AND INDIRECTLY AID THE
REACTION.
These are plain words and blunt words but when we
face such tremendous tasks would doing our duty
to the working class and to Party we pointed out
such facts.
LET EVERY MEMBER OF THE PARTY MEET HIS
OBLIGATION TO PAY THE ONE DAYS WAGE BEFORE
THIS WEEK ENDS!
