Murray! The campaign for radio for the
Daily Worker is ended with great and astound-
ing SUGGEST We-you and the rest-haye in the
last days come through fine and accomplished
our Five Year Plan in One Year!
1t may take some time to get started but when
our gang gets going. my gosh how the money
rolls inl So with heartfelt thanks to everybody
that helped along we're calling the campaign
off! But that Radio Commission OF ours who
pledged to raise Ten Bucks and then retreated
to the caves Of Nitgedaiget have yet to be heard
from, and we think that 1t ought to keep its
pledge because, although we seem to have
enough already you know how these radios are
its the overhead of tubes and so on
We wouldn't have ended the campaign so
quick but some chap who identified himself as
j. x. K came into the District Daily Worker
office and dropped sSo-just like thatl Then
dollars began dribbling in and counting up so
that we feel sure now that, with what's probably
on the way we'll have enough to get the ma
chine rig it up and some left over for upkeep.
Because the donors have been numerous. we'll
have to be brief in acknowledgement.
Clear from st. Paul came 81 from William J.
Comrade Newman dropped another right in our
mitt Dr. M M gave a whole $3.50. Anna Roch-
ester sent ST. From l.. B. Of New York came 81;
and another L. B. sent Bone from Newport.
r. L.
Then Harry L. sent 81 with long letter rais-
ing the devil with the Daily because it Jumps
stories from the front page to inside pages. He
demands no Jumps at all, in fact he has been
demanding that long time. 1t is perfection
we aim at but rarely attain. He thinks we don't
try Also, he declares that until all stories started
on one page end there, the American working
class won't read the Daily! That looks over
stated to us. But what do you readers. think Of
it? Remembering our technical difficulties, don't
think we Jump" stories because we like to.
Conrade NJ whose heart was good even II his
radio (Which is the one which our Commission
vetoed was bad, sends in 81 and says that the
old box Like capitalism, once deserved some
credit +. :. "a few centuries ago." No apollo
gies necessary conlrade. You did the good Job
of starting things for the whole works.
The following were picked up by the Daily
business office H. Resnow with 81; a comrade
from Tomkinsville Staten Island, 81; "a SYM
pathizer" who was bashful like about her name.

right across Bob Dunn who put Buck in the
pot. 80

u L. came in, with long list of signatures to-
falling $500 (the 2 cents from an unemployed
worker being appreciated even more than that
so we knew we had friends. Then disabled

the Daily. Just now v. H. L. of Brookline, Mass.
arrived with 81.
Now we counted that all up and found it made
$5552. We had previously acknowledged 81 in
cash and that makes $685. on hand.
We had started in counting the $40 pledged
by our Radio Commission, and wouldn't it be q
dirty Irish trick if they started off that way
and WEIGHED on the home stretch? We heard
that ga little group of serious thinkers" has Sc
gathered up-and we hope to get that, too. So,
although we aimed modestly at radio at about
$42 on the hoof, we may get better one. Any
how, We'll get one, and outside Of our Commits
sion at Nitgedaiget and the group last mem
toned all the rest of you can keep your money
until we ask for something else
Incidentally we had asked for something else.
Remember the letter we printed by a comrade
who started off little fund for printing the
Daily article published Feb. 24) on the starva-
ton policy of the Red Cross? Well. response has
been slow, only $3.50 more besides the first 81

Don't you think it would be all right, if the
few bones which come in on the tide of past
appeal Excluding the one pledge and the one
hope noted above) would be devoted to that pur-
pose, to tell the drouth stricken farmers what to
do how to fight with the Communists against
capitalism? That would be giving concrete ex-
preston to the revolutionary alliance Of workers
and farmers, one of the prerequisites of prole-
tartan revolution,
