paper was started nine years ago
that the international revolutionary
movement suffered an irreparable
loss-the death Of Comrade Lenir--
who few months before, in 1923, had
greeted with enthusiasm the announce
ment that the project of launch
ing our Daily in the country OF the
most powerful imperialism was under
way. The Daily Worker has always
endeavored to follow the feminist
conception of what a central organ
of the Communist Party should be
a powerful tribune for denuncation
and exposure of the capitalist class
and its government, a paper that will
appeal to the proletariat and spur
on the working class struggle, a
paper that will reach and influence
the impoverished masses on the
farms, reach the lower middle class
elements in the cities and towns
thus becoming a genuine political
paper But at the same time
feminist paper not only acts to ex-
pose the class enemy and its agents,
not only defends every fight against
oppression, but itself participates in
that struggle. AS Lenifl so concretely
formulated this question: "a paper is
not merely a collective propagandiss
and collective agitator. Il is also
collective organizer"
If we understand the full meaning
OF Lenins words, we will certainly
realize that today, more than ever, Is
the Daily needed. Capitalist stabiliza-
ton. shattered by the deepening
economic crisis, has come to an end.
The best and most forceful indication
Of this fact Is the revolutionary up
surge--the mighty advance Of the
revolution in China, the revolution in
Spain, the gathering together of the
elements of revolutionary crisis in
Germany, in Poland, In India, the
development Of widespread economic
fights In a score Of countries. Today
the world is in transition to a new
round of wars and revolutions.
Critical times and Sharpest strug-
giles face us. Especially essential is
it for the Daily Worker, as the Cen
trail organ of our Party, to play
leading role in the developing econ
ono struggles-the fight for immedi-
ate relief for the starving men,
women and children of the industrial
centers, the fight for emergency re-
lief for impoverished farmers, for the
bonus, against the stagger system,
for q living wage. The Daily must
become and will become such a paper
that workers in struggle can find
the answers to all their problems, es-
pecially the question at every stage
of what TO do next, so that the
struggle may be raised to ever higher
stages. AS against the whole capital
list offensive on the standards of all
toilers, for a capitalist way out of
the crisis, we fight for the revolu-
tionary way out.
S. p. Bulwark of Capitalism
In the course OF this growing re-
evolutionary struggle the reactionary
leaders Of the Socialist party who,
here as elsewhere, are the chief bull
wark of the capitalists, in trying to
diSintegrate and defeat the working
class movement, will come forth with
ever more demogogic and cynical de-
ceptions. One OF the essential con-
ditons for fighting against the So
cial-fascists and the Lovestone and
Cannon right opportnuist and Trot-
skyist renegades is the maintaining
and strengthening of our revolution
airy press.
This Ninth Anniversary celebration
comedies with the beginning of the
Second Five Year Plan Of Socialist
Construction in the Soviet Union.
The great achievements of socialist
construction constitute one Of the
most powerful revolutionary factors
in the world today. 1t Is being met
with a new barrage of lies and CAL
umny against the Soviet Union as the
capitalist world endeavors to solve
its own sharpening contradictions by
plotting war and intervention against
the workers and peasants Of the U.
S. S. r. In the entire United States
there is but one English daily paper
that exposes these conspiracies and
rallies the masses in defense of the
stronghold of the world revolution
that is the Daily Worker.
On this Ninth Anniversary / ap-
peal to the toiling masses of New
York to rally to the support of the
Daily Worker, to help make 1t a
more powerful weapon with which to
deliver crushing blows against the
rotten, decaying capitalist system.
