DAILY Improved, Says Worker
But Must Gy0w Still Better

Comrades:
There is no doubt that the Daily
Worker is decidedly improved. Only
those who are blind cannot see it.
Or shall it be: all counter-revolu-
tionaries and enemies of the work.
ing class will not admit it. 1t is
too much of blow which knocks
cold all traitors in and out of our
ranks.
A Good Issue.
The Saturday, December IA issue
of the Daily Worker is an achieve
ment. 1t is a good issue However,
we must not rest on our laurels in
this particular question pertaining
to the Daily Worker. 1t can be seen
that on days when the front page
is interesting the second and third
page are dry and visa versa. That
is, the Daily Worker is fluctuating.
This is impermissihle and the Daily
Worker staff must keep up a steady
general line. This was pointed out
by the decision of the Central Com
mittee of the Communist Party and
published in the December 10 issue
of the Daily Worker.
The seven points of that thoro-
going resolution must become the
bible Of each and every one on the
editorial staff of the Daily Worker.
By following and obeying these in
Istructions of the &C, especially
point (shorten every news item)
and point 5 (give the facts accu-
rately. They are the best argu-
ments, that is, they speak for them
selves, each and every one of them
an Indictment of the capitalist sys-
tenn of society the combined force
of the editorial staff will succeed
in making the four-page Daily
Worker much more interesting and
attractive than the 60-page capital
list papers which give "all the news
fit Tread unity to print"
In order to accomplish this the
habit of carrying over most news
items from one page to the other,
especially from the first to the next
two pages, must be cut out. The
paper then automatically turns into
la living newspaper as all the pages
become interesting. Therefore, "car-
ry over as little news items as pos
sible from the first to the next
page" shall be the motto of the pub
fishers of the Daily Worker. The
paper then will become interesting
not only occasionally but all the
time, day in and day out.
On Worker Correspondence.
The letters from workers in the
shops, mills and mines should be
published under the headline "Work-
er's Voice" with the information
"By mail" done away with, and the
worker correspondent" at the bot
tom of the letter and not at the top
as it is being done now. If the
name or initials of the worker cor
respondent can be given still better.
All in all, the editorial staff of
the Daily Worker is already doing
good work, and it must be carried
on daily. This can easily be done,
! if the seven points in the resolution
of the &C. are carried out to the let
ter by all those writing for the
paper. Then the sacrifices of the
comrades in the editorial staff of
the paper (who for the last five
years have given up everything for
the sake of building up the Daily
Worker as the best weapon, next
to a strike, in the hands of all class
conscious workers in the U.S.A.),
and the work of the Communist
Party comrades who are risking
their liberty while distributing the
parer will not have been in vain.
With the comrades writing for the
Daily Worker doing their best to
improve the paper it is high time
for the comrades in the circulation
department to show their stuff. That
lis, with the help of the Party COM
