Rousing Tag Days
to Aid DAILY"

New York City and. surround
ing territory, Brooklyn, Long Is
land, New Jersey, Yonkers, will
experience an invasion of conf
rades and sympathetic workers
in mass collection to aid the
Daily Worker. How strong will
this invading force be? Will it
be large enough to actually col
lect a fund of money that will
help lift the Daily Worker out of
the serious financial situation it,
is in?
These questions must be asked
now, today, because Friday, Sat-
urday and Sunday the invasion
begins. If we secure maximum
mobilization, we will, in these
three days, help the Daily Work
er out of immediate danger of
suspension, and have enough
money left to assist in its regular
publication for the week to come.
Party members especially must
show a loyalty that is expected
from Communists. Shops where
the 100000 May Day Daily Work
ers were distributed must be
visited. House to house canvas
sing must be had. Everywhere,
where workers are to be found,
the need of the Daily Worker
must be explained. The workers
will give. What we need is enough
collectors for all the workers
who are ready to give.

a serious crisis.
Yesterday the Daily Worker only had S17O on hand
to meet immediate payments of $780, From various
sources comrades secured the difference but it took
late consequence.
In the face of these difficulties there come calls
from all parts of the country asking the Daily Worker
for assistance to do pioneer work for the Daily Worker
in new fields where we have readers very few.
ST Gerson and Fred Totherow write us from North
Carolina. The Southern workers, Negro and white
in all industries, insisent upon getting the Daily
Worker regularly. Wherever distribution has taken

does not reach them again the next day.
To establish regular sales and distribution in the

Tom Johnson writes from Birmingham, Alabama:
"No Daily Workers piling up here. Every single
copy is used and could distribute thousands more.
The Southern workers eager to get the paper and

Everywhere the Daily Worker is demanded. We
can engage in pioneer work which would help build the
Party, in many sections of the country. A comrade
with an old Ford should take the field among the coal
miners in Colorado, among the metal miners i'm Butte

NEWARK, N. j., May l3.--Ne-
gro and white workers today
crowded into the Quarter Sessions
Court, where the trial of nine work
ers charged with sedition was post
poned until May 10. Every inch of
space was occupied, many workers
standing or sitting on the window

cutting attorney, asked for the post
ponement and it was granted by
Judge Van Ripper the workers fol-
lowed the defendants out of the
court room and crowded around
them on the street.
The workers were arrested Feb
ruary II when they were addressing
a meeting called to fight against
unemployment. They are held un-
der heavy bail and if convicted can
be sentenced to terms ranging from
7 to Is years.
Last Thursday. when the arrested
workers appeared in court here to
plead, the indictment was changed.
Originally it accused the defendants
of advocating violence against the
police. The new indictment charges
the workers with assaulting the po-
lice when the latter broke up the

Britain's Government on sutferanc,

Once more the hold of the British
Laborite ministry upon its position has
been revealed in its weakness. Yester-
DAY the government was defeated on a
motion respecting the hour of the ad-
3ournment of the House of Commons.
the vote being ITO to 1873. The prime
minister, despite Conservative cries Of
"ReSign!" indicated that he did not
consider the matter as of vital inpor-
lance. A Conservative motion to adj
journ the House was ruled out of order.
The whips had sent out for govern
ment supporters and they were coming
in rapidly, and when later the Con-
sentative motion for an adjournment
was renewed the ministry was supported
by a vote Of 1876 to ITS, and the Incl
dent was closed. But the fact remains
that the margin by which the Labor
party holds its parliamentary position is
very slender and may be wiped out at
any time.
For the present, the Liberals are sus-
tanning the ministry, having indicated
q purpose to hold the government in
power, at least, until the naval confer
ence has adjourned. After that events
may take a different course. The Con-
servatives, although "pin-pricking" with
demands for resignation whenever the
ministry is technically defeated on i'm
material questions, are not particularly
DESTROYS Of an overturn and an appeal
to the country or general election at
present. 1t suits their own policy to
postpone the issue for . while. The
cries for resignation that are heard In
Commons whenever an adverse vote ia
taken are merely notices to the country
that the Laborite ministry is serving on
.sufferance.
This is not altogether happy or
desirable situation. Ramsay Macdonald

Goslin needs the washington team.
While the player is not by any manner
OF means at the end of his base ball
rope, he is over thirty, and ball players
seldom improve after that age is passed.
Grifith has been extremely patient with
Goslin in his development. No one
who attended games a few years ago,
when Goslin first came up to the big
leagues, will forget his clownlike at
tempts to play left field and his famous
skating act" which has so far defied
imitation.
On the other hand, GoSlin until last
year has been consistently the best bat
ter on the team and in 1928 led the
American League in this respect. He
has developed into a finished outfielder
and should command salary common
surate with his abilities. In any event.

A Papal Summer Palace.

With the creation of THE Vatican
City, a number of changes have come
into the lives Of the Pontiffs of the
Church of Rome which must be highly
gratifying alike to them and to their
millions of parishioners throughout the
world. 1t now appears that Pope Plus
XII, present wearer of the papal crown,
will be able 20 spend his Summer vaca-
ton outside the Vatican walls and in
cool, beautiful. healthful and, above
all, a different spot.
Among the properties passing to the
papacy by the various clauses of the
Lateran treaties is the Villa Barberini,
only few miles outside of Rome and
situated more than four hundred feet
above Lake Albano, an aquatic gem
formed by the filling of an ancient
crater. Perhaps it was a sort of Rapi-
dan Camp for some Of the rulers of
pagan and early Christian Rome.
This particular piece of property will
prove Of immense value to the Pope,
for his physicians agree that the Sum-
mers he has been compelled to spend
in hot and none too healthy Rome
have had serious consequences on his
health. Happily that hardship seems
forever to have passed, both for him
and for his successors. He now can
do what the ordinary thrifty citizen
of his and other lands can do-go
to cool and lovely lake for that
earned vacation which shall give him
pleasure, prolong his life and heighten
his efficiency. That he now can avail
himself of this boon is a fact which
every man. no matter what his creed
may be, should view with pleasure.

The sad-faced girl We saw the other
day in a crowd was a relief after so
much smiling
One would say nothing against cheeri-
ness, of course, but sometimes serious
| face is relief, is 1t not?
Animals do not sit around with silly
smiles on their faces all the time.
They manage to look pleased without
drawing back the corners Of their
mouths.
You will hear that the smile is the
one trait which distinguishes man from
the brutes, but the real line of deniar-
cation is the extra size Of the human
brain.
only in mind can the members Of our
tribe claim pre-eminence over the
beasts.
And what has the queer upward
twist of the mouth got to do with
brains?
Dogs and cats manage to register
pleasure, as the movie lingo has 1t, by
means of their eyes, as well as by tail
wagging and purring.
The human eye. of course, can show
| pleasure, too, but does it?
Too often men and wonderland even
| little children-resort to meaningless
twisting of the mouth with the result
that sometimes a smile is a mere hypoc-
risy, if not a plain downright lie.
The stereotyped smile of the chorus
is the typical instance, but better Is the
everyday grin put on by so many per-
sons over nothing at all.
The thing is inanity at its worst,
since the facile human countenance
could be used for better purposes.
Il * + X
A smile ought to mean something. not
just everything, as it so often does.
Everything too often means nothing.
The smile ought to be reserved for
the special occasion. It would count
then. Then it would mean what it
does mean in our better moments.
Then it would not be cheapened by
repetition over every "wiSe-crack" &C
quaintances make, over every happen
ing from which smile may be squeezed.
as If smiles were such precious things
that they even must be counterfeited.
Real smiles are such precious things.
That is the paradox. It is the counter
felt. stamped out too quickly, which
tends TO depreciate the genuine article.
There have been many books writ
ten upon the phenomenon Of laughter,
but as far as we have been able TO de-
ternine they contain various interpre-
tationS.
The layman can only take q laugh
for what it seems to mean to him, and
let the philosophy of 1t go. Actual
life often has little to do with philoso-
phies, after all
Every man has his own interpreta-
ton of words and acts. This often Is
called common sense. It frees him
from the reading of books and specula-
ton on the pro and con of things.
Often it forms an admirable philoSo-
ply of life. The laugh, the smile, the
grin, these have their own meanings in
such life philosophy, and demand no
further Interpretation.
1t was Lord Chesterfield who frowned
upon the wide-open, hearty laugh, adj
vising his son to be more than circum-
spect in the matter.
His ideal gentleman was one who
smiled seldom, and then not very widely
or largely or openly, or however 1t Is
one measures the magnitude of the
smile.
There are today thousands Of men
who model themselves, consciously or
unconsciously. upon the advice of Lord
Chesterfield as to the smile.
They are called serious men, but be-
hind it all lies the belief in their own
