TO ALL READERS OF
THE DAILY WORKER

COMRADES: The editorial staff and bust
" ness management of the Daily have
tried in every way to make it tOssible to
postpone as long as possible financial drive
to save our paper. In this we have had the
loyal support of thousands of readers who
enabled the Daily to extend its influence by
increasing the subscription list. Within the
past period we have been able TO cut down the weekly
deficit from approximately 81 800 to 81 20O or one
third. This accomplished by the realization Of
the necessity of financial responsibility on the part
OF Daily Worker agents and readers by the increased
sale of copies of the Daily" and by draStcay
ting down expenses to the bone The subscription
drive helped in this direction, and there ndica-
lions That we are approaching the time when, with
increased subscriptions and increased sales of copies
of the Daily i'll be able further to cut down the
deficit. The editorial staff has tried in every way
TO improve the contents of the Daily 1t is in pursuit
Of this policy only that we believe the Daily" can
eventually be placed on sef-supporting basis.
DESULTS thus far in cutting down the deficit of the
Daily" in this period of the greatest crisis the
world has ever seen show that there thousands OF
workers who realize that the Daily" is Indispensable
for the working class and the oppressed toiers in
lighting against the fierce hunger and war drive of
American imperialism
Men, women and children Negro and white native
born and foreign-b born, fighting against hunger, look
to the Daily" their guide in action. In the terror
ridden share-croppers districts of the Alabama Black
Belt the Negro and white victims of lynch terror
gather in their cabins to listen to their comrades
read to them from the columns of Daily. Work
everywhere in every industry increasingly look
ing to the Daily Worker not merely to expose the plots
OF the bosses, but to give them lead in how to pre-
pare and carry out struggles.
The suspension of the paper at any time would be
blow against the whole working class To be forced
TO suspend now. in a period when the world is in
transition to new round of revolutions and wars.
would be a staggering defeat for the working class
and an easy victory for the ruling class If our paper
were forced TO suspend because of the uneashing of
crushing terror in period of revolutionary upheavas
imperialist war; we would truthfully say We went
down fighting. Many revolutionary paper has met
that fate. But 1T would be disgrace if We
forced to suspend because money could not be OBJ
tanned to enable us to carry
We sure that every class conscious worker, every
militant fighter and every sympathizer of Party
and our paper, realizes this,
10 avert suspension we are compelled to appeal for a
fund of not less than $4,000 that must be raised
within the next few weeks. Right at this moment
TODAY-we must appeal TO you to rush funds to the
Daily" Do not delay wait for days to obtain
larger amount than you able to send, but
rush funds today and get the rest tomorrow and the
day after
Let US make this campaign that will more firmly
establish the Daily Worker among masses OF workers
and farmers. In carrying the financial drive
not only save the Daily" but through the drive
itself bring into action against the capitalist class tens
of thousands of workers who ready and anxious to
struggle What they need is revolutionary leadership
