LONDON. July 10-The labor
Governments survival Of three
strong attacks in the House Of
Commons wednesday was believed
in political quarters an assurance
that Prime Minister Macdonald
VIII remain in Office al least until
the summer recess late this month.
TWO other dangerous political
reefs must be crossed before the
recess. but Macdonald was con-
sidered sure Of success in both IN
stances. if only by a narrow margin.
The conservatives propose a vote OF
renslre Of the governments failure
10 erect what they regard as ell
fective safeguarding barriers, put
since such motion would be against
the liberals free trade policy, the
liberals undoubtedly would support
the Laborites and defeat the motion.
Another attack may be mace IN
the house Of lords when 1t CONSIDERS
again its oft-intrOduced amendment
to the coal bill. The amendment was
rejected by the house Of commons
wednesday for the second time, con-
shutting one Of the governments
three victories. and as a result the
breach between the two houses over
their prerogatives may be widened.
The amendment would have spread
miners working hours over ninety
hours in a fortnight instead OF a
straight forty-fve-hour week, as at
present. T. was not as important
in itself as It was an issue between
the houses Of the rights Of the lords,
who claim they should have the
same privilege TO accept or reject
bills as the commons, rather than
tending-as leaders in the lords de-
clared-to become merely a figure
head house.
Commons rejected the amendment
by a substantial majority of 296
to 235. but the governments victory
on one of the other two measures,
both relating to the finance bill, was
won By only three votes.

Factory Gate Sales for
Mass Circulation

The sale of the Daily Worker at the factory
gates has shown a tremendous growth in some
sections and indicates that this is the key to
mass circulation. This method has succeeded
where Party Units have definitely concen-
trated on certain factories and where each
Party member has taken turn once or twice
week to sell the papers. 1t must be def
initely understood that no member of the Par
ty, no member of the Young Communist League
unless specifically excused is in good standing
unless he sells at least twenty-five copies of
the Daily Worker before factory gates once
a week.
The two cents profit from the sale of the
Daily Worker will help finance Unit activities.
Units must take responsibility and order pa
pers directly from the Daily Worker at one
cent a copy.

Workers Correspondence
Must Pull Circulation

Better systemization in tying up worker
correspondence with distribution and sale of
the paper will bring in mass of new circula-
ton. The potential pull of each item must be
realized Short stories should appear two or
three times week on big factories where sales
are made. A network of workers correspond
ence must be built so that the paper will re-
fleet the struggle of the workers in all in
dustries.
Worker correspondents in cities and districts
must organize with Daily Worker readers into
Red Army outposts of the Daily Worker. They
must order regular bundles of the Daily
Worker at one cent copy to be sold before
the factories about which stories are written
Individual worker correspondents, even in
isolated sections must broaden the number of
readers of the Daily Worker by sending in
orders for bundles at one cent COPY.

Comrades Speaking Foreign
Languages Must Join Fight

There are great many Communist daily
and weekly papers published in the United
States in foreign languages. But the Daily
Worker is the only Communist daily published
in English, the native tongue of the country
whose capitalist government must be over
thrown. 1t is the central organ of the Com
munist Party. 1t must have mass circulation
before capitalism be overthrown. Every
Communist no matter what his -lative
language, must bend every effort to increase
the circulation of the Party's central organ.
The tendency of some Party members to sup
port the paper only of their own language must
be shattered. Workers must have the Daily
Worker for the younger generation. The
language papers must print editorials and pub
lish all material which is sent out from the
Daily Worker. Agents of all the Party papers
must also obtain Daily Worker subscriptions.

Must Build
HOuse-tO-HOuse Routes

Every Unit must fight it out on house-to-
house delivery routes. This system has regis
tered great successes in some sections and
failed miserably in others. Where routes have
been maintained by definite struggle excel
lent results have been achieved. Money must
be collected each week and papers paid for
regularly.
One of the best ways is to give a route of
one or two hundred subscribers to an unem-
ployed comrade and let him make two cents
of the three cents he collects for each paper
this work helping to support him. When this
is not done, Units and Sections must concen-
trate on the problem of collecting the money
at the end of the week, to insure continuance
Of the route. Shock troops can be moved from
sections and even Districts to maintain the
routes. Responsible comrades must be put in
charge of collecting the money.
The Party in each city must be Immediately
modified for series of Red Sundays. Sec
tons of the city densely populated with fac
tory workers must be selected and new carrier
routes established subscribers to pay IS cents
week after each weeks delivery.
The necessity of this system of circulation
is obvious to any Communist who realizes that
capitalist circulating agencies may fail us soon.
Valuable contacts are also made No city can
allow this system to be discarded because of
refusal to face and solve the difficulties.

has opportunity to further enjoy
democracy behind prison bars.
The Communist Party and the
Young Communist League have been
lately increasing in strength and
more workers are becoming SYM
pathetic. 1t is no wonder then that
the local police in tune with the
U. S. Investigation" committee, and
immigration authorities have chosen
this time to attack the Party and
try to outlaw it. The answer to
these attacks will come from the
workers.
Organization is now the crying
need Of the workers to adequately
cope with the attacks Of the boss
and police. The workers so far have
responded with more enthusiasm
and support. This, however, will
amount to little unless along with
it there is a corresponding increase
in the organizational strength Of
the Party, the revolutionary trade
unions and other militant organiza-
tons Of the workers.
Workers must organize if they
are going to stop the attacks upon
them and fight for better conditions.

place, Raymond Baker. organizer of

making the demonstration at Madi-

for new vigorous struggles for the

Lief. Foster, who like Amter was
warmly cheered when introduced by
Baker, told of a hearty send-off
given to the two leaders by the pris-
oners at Harris Island penitentiary
early yesterday morning; the entire
dormitory where he and Amter were
quartered was on it's feet o'clock
in the morning to say goodby to
their Communist mates. Particularly
the Negro workers serving at Harris
Island penitentiary, Foster said,
were very much interested in the
Communist leaders and in Commu-
nism.
