Demonstrate Today

the Dutch Sailors!

NEW YORK.--AlI demonstrate
today at IL a. m. before the Dutch
consulate at IL Battery Place to
save the lives of over a hundred
Jayanese and Dutch sailors of the
cruiser De Zeven Provincien. These
seamen reyolted against the op-
preston of imperialist officers and
intollerable treatment and put up
gallant struggle until a score of
them we're killed by attack from
the air, against which they had no
defense. They may be courtmar-
tailed and executed.
The Anti-Imperialist League has
received back a registered letter to
the Dutch consul, announcing that
a delegation would see him from
the demonstration. The consul
SHE'D away from the letter and
refused to receive it when he saw
the return address. But the COM
mittee will go in.
Besides the Anti-Imperialist
League, the Marine Workers In
dustrial Union, and the Workers
Ex- Servicemen's League are prom
inent in rallying support for the
endangered Dutch sailors
All militant workers organiZa-
tions endorse the demonstration.

COMRADES:
A point has been reached in the Daily
Worker financial drive where the Central
Committee of the Communist Party must
speak directly and openly to the Party men,
bers ard to all workers sympathetic to our
movement. The Daily Worker drive has now
been on for five weeks. The response has not,
and if it continues at the present rate, will not
solve the problems of our paper
Until now, about $4,000 has been raised-$8,00O
out of the needed $4,000.
This MEANS comrades, that the crisis of the Daily
Worker is even severe at this moment than it
was at the beginning of the drive 1t that the
very life of the DAILY is in danger. We know that
many workers and Party members have not real
lied the seriousness of the situation with which the
Daily Worker is confronted.
Many comrades thought that this just "an-
other drive They thought that WE'LL if the funds
are not raised somehow other the Daily Worker
would continue. But unfortunately, comrades, this
is not the situation.
This is not just another drive" The outcome of
this drive will determine whether not to
have the Daily Worker.
There is no other way by which the publication
of the paper be continued except through the sue
cessfu conclusion of the present drive for funds and
this drive must be concluded quickly. The need for
