A Little Too Previous

What's the. matter with that Red Sparks
pamphlet? I asked for it at the Workers Book
shop and they tell me it isn't out yet"
That's the kind of bombardment we get every
time we encounter anybody that is anybody

We sort of got to wondering ourselves why all
the delay. Before Sept. /, we turned the whole
works over to the Workers Library all set up in
type, mind you, and nothing much to do to it but
page it up with Ryan Walkers illustrations and
begin to rake~in the nickels That's why we got
enthusiastic and wrote the Double Barreled
Review"
We felt further cheered up when the book
shop told us that such pamphlet was just what
was wanted; Workers ask for something light.
sort of humorous they told us, bearing out our
opinion that it isn't against Communist princi-
Piles to grin or even giggle.
But all of us reckoned with the workers liz

pears that the Tovarish who heads that organ

regards haste as not only maker of waste but
a malignant disease. In fact, although we heard
when we dropped around on Labor Day, that the
Red Sparks" pamphlet was already in the print
shop, it turns out that such was false alarm.
One year will do as well as another naybe.
But our steno got bit wild about the delay dur

The "Morning Freiheit" Must Exist
to Lead Workers Struggles
By BURCK

particularly against the social-fascist needle
trades company unions. Jewish nationalism in
all of its forms, ZioniSm in particular, and the
scourge of -chauvinism has been valiantly
con1batted by the Morning Freihet 1t is lcsd-
ing an effective struggle against the vicious re
low counter revolutionary sheet of Hillquit, ABB
romovitch, Kautsky and the entire second in
ternational The Jewish Daily Forward and
against all enemies of the Soviet Union
Because of that the Morning Freiheit is being
bounded by all forces of capitalism and social
fascism who are doing everything to rob it of its
advertisements and in any other way cut down
on its income. The severe economic crisis and
the Impeachment of the working class has
had telling effect on the income of the Morn
ing Freiheit from affairs and other such sources.
A burden of $4,000 in debts is pressing heavily
on the Morning Freiheit which makes it i'm
possible for it to exist unless smmediate funds
are rushed.
The day the Morning Freiheit will breathe its
last will be day of JOY for the forces of reac-
ton, the labor burocrats, the enemies of the
Soviet Union, and a severe blow to the revolu-
tonary movement. This must not happenl All
energy must be given for the speedy realization
of the aim the Morning Freihet has set for
itself in the present emergency campaign, the
collection of $4,000. The Morning Freiheit
must exist to lead the struggles of the working
class and to mobilize the workers for the defense
of the Soviet Union.
Rally the masses of workers for the support
of the Morning Freiheit, tens of thousands of
them. More workers must be reached now than
in any previous campaign for our press This
present campaign to sustain the Morning Fret
heit must be given real mass character and
linked up with the campaign for wider cir
culation and the political and industrial issues
now confronting the employed and unemployed
workers in the United States. Bigger battles
ahead of the working class in the United
States and other countries. The workers need
their press now more than ever.
Long live the Morning Freihet!

"Face Hard Task"
Commenting on the work Of the
committee, Mr.. Poole said:
These men and women, 1t should
be realized, face one OF the hardest
tasks that confront any Chest Com
mittee. They are the trustees Of the
public funds, contributed by a gener-
Gus citizenry, and they spend long
hours and infinite patience in seeing
that every possible penny Is used fol-
the purpose for which it was given"
Mr.. Poole said that funds contributed
to the chest would be "judiciously and
economically administered, while at
the same time the organizations Of the
chest are supplied with adequate
funds for their years work"
Theirs Is the task of seeing that
each organization of the chest is ad-
equately financed. To do this, they
must give careful attention to each
Budget Subcommittee and then care

the various organizations. Apportion-
ment Of these funds is a responsibility

Genes still greater responsibility.
