The coming celebration Of the Six

Revolution must therefore assume the
added Importance Of mobilizing the
workers against the looming attack
on the Soviet Union, for the defense
Of the Soviet Union.
The rise OF Hitler Fascism, which
is openly talking Of annexing Soviet
Ukraine and is cooperating with the
Japanese Government In its war pre-
parations, the new huge military
budget Of the Japanese militarists,
who are in complete control of the
Government of Japan, and the bloody
record of these militarists in Man
churian and in China; the new be-
trayal Of Chang Kai-shek, who
made peace with the japanese ag-
gressors in order to be able again to
attack the Soviet Districts Of China
and in order to free completely the
hands of. the Japanese militarists. for
the attack ON the Soviet Union-all
this hightens the danger.
The Soviet Government, through
the sixteen years Of its existence, has
warded off more than one attack with
the aid of the workers Of the cap
italist countries who came to its de-

danger in the Far East, the clarion
call must be sounded:

Beware or AraH talking peace!
On October 10 the War Minister
Of Japan, General Sadao Araki, sum-
moned a Far Eastern conference for
the purpose Of establishing peace"
in the Orient.
Whenever representative Of
capitalist government begins to talk
peace" it Is a sure sign that the
same government is intensifying its
preparations for WAR. An ARAK1
calling for peace" Is a distinct sign
of the APPROACHING WAR in the
Far East.
What is the background of Araki's
peace" talk?
Ever since the Japanese militariSts
began their "undeclared" war on
China through the seizure Of Muk-
den, capital of Manchuria, two years
ago, there have been innumerable
signs of the preparations Of Japan to
confiscate the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way, which is half-owned by the
Soviet Union, as prelude to mill
tary campaign for the purpose of an
nexing the Soviet Maritime Province
and the entire Far Eastern district.
The war preparations of Japan In the
Far East have become particularly
visible In recent months through the
numerous acts Of provocation on the
part of the japanese militarists and
the puppet Manchurian government
against the Soviet Union. So much
so, that capitalist writer's have been
forced to admit the imminence of an
anti-Soviet war in the Far East.
New Storm Brewing"
"a new storm is brewing in the
Far East which may rock the world,
declared the foreign editor of the
Scripps-Howard press syndicate, Will
liam Phillip Simms, in an article on
July 10. And 1t will suffice to men
ton only few Of the provocative
acts and Of the strategic moves Of
Japanese militarism since that date
to realize that the brewing storm is
now approaching the boiling point.

COME comrades declare that the fault lies in the
Office Of the Daily Worker itself. They say our
appeals have been weak as compared with the past.
They state that we have not convinced the workers
and the other friends of the paper that we really
need the money.
True, comradesl We tried to avoid many of
our past methods. We tried to avoid the threaten
ing and oftentimes hysterical note that served as
the center of past campaigns. We tried to convince
rather than frighten. This undoubtedly created the
Impressions false impression-that our need for
funds was less urgent than in the past. This no
doubt weakened the response But we feel that our
present methods better, and in the long run
effective.
In the drive.
THE real fault lies in the poor work Of the District
and section committees Of the Party, and Of the
Party fractions in the organizations. More
specifically it lies in their failure to really ORGANIZE
and DRIVE FORWARD the campaign for funds
-Four Districts stand out with relatively good re-
Sults,-District (Boston) with 81 per cent Of its
quota District IL Seatte) with ee per cent? District
philadelphia with 90 per cent District Detroi)
with So per cent
All other Districts are impermissibly tagging be-
hind, many Of them far behind.
But the responsibility for the present extremely
dangerous situation rests mainly with two Districts
and with the Party fraction in organization
These are:
DISTRICT New York; with quota Of
$4,000 (one-haI Of the total and returns to
date Of only about $4,000.
DISTRICT Chicago with . quota Of
$4,000 and returns TO date Of less than S1,5O0.
The Party fraction in the INTERNATIONAL
WORKERS ORDER with quota Of 5000 and
returns to date Of about 81 500.
These three shirkers have combined quota Of
$4,000 quota fixed by previous agreement in &C
cordance with their membership and influence, they
responsible for the slow response
WE deal with this situation openly and speak bluntly
" because immediate change is necessary II the
Daily Worker is to live.
The leading Party comrades in Districts TWO and
EIGHT and in the LEADING FRACTION Of the
W. o. in the spirit Of the Open Letter are respon-
sible for the success Of the $4,000 drive
We have right to expect that these comrades
win take such measures are necessary-and at

Mrs. Rainey Gets A New Job Too;
She'll Be Assistant Speaker NoW
By SIGRID ARNE
By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March IL
When the democratic caucus chose
Rep. Henry T. Rainey of Illinois,
for the new speaker of the house,
it unconsciously named an "as-
sistant speaker"
Mrs. Ella Rainey for a quarter
of a century has been her hus-
bands research secretary.
Bills, pleas for welfare groups,
reports from committees, pile high
on her desk in the corner of her
husbands office every day, and
by night they have gone Through
the hopper" and are reduced by
her to hundred-word reports to
save the party leaders time.
Handles Many Interviews
She is tall, thin, gray-haired
woman with a low voice that keeps
up running fire in as many as
three different conversations at
one time when the office becomes
crowded.
"Come in, governor" Mrs.
Rainey will start. Here's a
farmer from Montana / want you
to meet" She gets the two
thrashing out question and turns
to person wanting help for citi-
zenship papers; a Boy Scout who
wants her to talk at his club; a
woman's club representative who
wants world peace,
Even the elevator men hardly
get to the capitol in advance of
the Raineys, who arrive carrying
books and brief cases. Night
usually has arrived before they
leave.
Life is too interesting, too i'm
portant for anything but work, !"
says Mrs. Rainey. "When l first
came here / was a good soldier
and made all the teas / was sup
posed to attend, wore white gloves
and turned down my calling
cards.
No Time For Farm
"But now-say, | got new
coat this winter, the first time in
10 years, and one Of my friends
didn't recognize me.
"Back home in Illinois we have
a lovely 500 acre farm that we
would like to see more often, but
there is no time"

WILLIAM w. DEMERITT PAYS
TRIBUTE TO LATE
CITIZEN

"Key West lost one of its best
citizens and earnest workers when
it lost William Gates" said Will
liam w. Demeritt to The Citizen
while discussing the death of the
manager of the Key West Invest
ment Company.
''In addition to his multifarious
duties in connection with the man
agement of this compay and other
interests, he was chairman of the
local Red Cross Chapter and
worked continually to secure re-
lief for the many in Key West
who were and are in dire distress"
said Mr.. Demeritt.
Referring to the distribution of
clothes, the two consignments of
flour that have been distributed
and the one now in storage in the
lighthouse building, Mr.. Demeritt
said that Mr.. Gates was the one
who was mainly responsible for
these aids to relief, as it was he
who devoted his time to showing
the necessity of the government
ordering them to be sent to Key
West, and not one of the papers
went from Key West that did not
carry the signature of William
Gates.

LOCAL CONVENT
SISTER LEAVING
KEY WEST SOON
SISTER AMBROSE OF SIENNA
GOING TO AFRICA; RECEP.
TON AT CONVENT SUNDAY
IN NATURE OF FAREWELL

Friends of Sister Ambrose of
Sienna will meet at the convent at
4 O'Clock Sunday afternoon to bid
farewell to this beloved sister who
will leave Tuesday, March ID. for
Africa where she will be connect
ed with mission established
there by the Sisters of the Holy
Names of Jesus and Mary.
Sister Ambrose came to Key
West in 1893 which was in those
days almost as far as going to
Africa. She taught at the convent
and at st. Joseph's school for Is
years and left in 1908. She spent
four years in Rome, N. Y, and
one year at the Mother House;
fourteen years as superior of St.
Mary's school, st. Boniface and st.
jeans converts. One year she
was superior at st. Joseph's Acad-
envy, Amherstburg, Ontario, Can
ada. and returned to Key West in
1929 as superior at this con-
vent.
Sister Ambrose of Sienna was
named for Africa about a month
ago. When there was. a question
of opening a mission in Africa, a
large number of Sisters volunteer
ed to go and sent in their names
to the Mother General. Six only
were called upon a year and a half
ago. These six sisters sailed for
Africa in 1881.
Another group of Sisters will
leave as soon as the navigation
opens and among these will be our
loved and devoted Sister Ambrose
who labored among the people of
Key West for nearly twenty years.
Sister Ambrose's untiring eff
forts will always live upon, the
pages of memory, it is stated, and
her name will always be linked
with kind and charitable deeds.
Sister Ambrose will be accom-
panied on the trip which will be by
boat to Tampa, by Reverend Moth
er of Lourdes, provincial superior
of the order of the Holy Names of
Jesus and Mary, who has been
visiting at the local convent since
Feb. 81. From Tampa Sister Am
brose will 60 to Washington, D..
c., making a short trip in the cap
ital City to say goodbye to the
sisters there. She win then go di-
rect to Albany and report to the
Mother House where she win join
her companions to sail for Africa,
her new field of labor, where she
and the other Sisters will devote
all their time among the natives
of that far away land.
1t is requested that all those
who have known Sister Ambrose
during her years of service here
will attend the reception in her
honor Sunday.

Observance Of Doherty
Day In Key West Proves
An Outstanding Success
Great Enthusiasm Mani
tested By Merchants
And Citizens In General
During Event

"AII Florida Doherty Day" in
Key West was an epoch making
event, all Key West is agreed. On
every hand could be heard com
ments ON the activities displayed
by the business men and their
patrons, displaying an enthusiasm
that was not even anticipated in
this time of financial distress.
Several merchants who put on
sales and agreed to give two per
cent Of the days cash receipts,
told The Citizen that they were
highly gratified with the results
obtained and were sure that many
others were elated over the sue.
cess of the program.
What the total Of the two per
cent All Florida advertising fund
viii be has not been determined
as yet. The committee who visited
the merchants are to again greet
them and receive the results from
the sales.
The money collected will be
turned over to VIM. r. Porter,
chairman of the local committee,
who will in turn remit it to Ed. G..
Romfh, president of the First Ma
tionaI Bank in Miami, and chair
man of the state committee in
charge Of the "All Florida
Doherty Day" program.
That the enthusiasm was not
only among the merchants and
their patrons was evidenced By
the number of straight kilograms
day letters and night letters filed
ut the Western Union Telegraph
Company's office and recorded BY
Manager G. ID. Kirkland.
There were about 20 of these
sent to Mr.. Doherty during Thurs.
day night and Friday, expressing
in various ways, Fluctuations on
the statewide event, and hoping
for a long life and great future
for the famous developer.
It was the intention of The
Citizen to publish list of names
of those who sent the messages,
but Manager Kirkland said that
rules of the company forbade this
proceeding, and though sorry he
was forced to refuse.

Pursuant to instructions rela-

the United States, William r,
Porter, president of the First Ma
tional Bank, sent the following
telegram to the secretary of the
treasury yesterday:
To the Secretary of the Treas.
ury,
Washington, D. c.
The First National Bank of
Key West does hereby apply
to the secretary of the treas
ury, filing this as an applica-
ton with the. Federal Reserve
Bank of Atlanta, for a license
to reopen and conduct its
usual business, subject to the
regulations prescribed by the
secretary of the treasury
and, except as otherwise pro-
hibited by law or regulation.
FIRST NATIONAL BANK.
simultaneously with the send
ing of this telegram a like mes
sage was sent to the Federal Re-
serve Bank in Atlanta.
In the opinion of Mr.. Porter it
will necessarily take some time
before these permissions are
granted, as it will be impossible
for all banks to be permitted to
open at the same time.
Considering the vast number of
banks in the United States, Mr..
Porter would not even make a
guess as to what time permission
will be granted, but said that i'm
mediately upon receiving the Ii
cense the First National would re-
sumo activities.
