fullest cooperation with the readers
to make better paper. This should
be put into effect.
To talk about building our Party
into mass Party without taking
steps to build the Daily Worker
into mass paper, is talking the
language of the past, and not the
language of the Open Letter, not
the language Of the district resolu-
ton. Once our Party in the Pitts
burgh District, which is a hard
working Party, is shown that the
building Of the Daily Worker is
not a special task of the Daily
Worker agent, but the task of the
whole Party, they will be able to
draw in thousands of non-party
workers. who will be willing to
share this responsibility. This will
be q test of real leadership, Party
Leadership, Communist leadership
in the mass organizations.

points of immediate recognition to
the American association of ideas.

And then there is the matter of
Daily Worker comment on "Balbo"
incidents. Painting him in the melo-
dramatic movie colors of an arch
villain Is not the correct approach
to the American mind. Why don't
you point out to the readers those
factors about Balbo that make him
attractive to them-his dashingness,
heroism, beard, gesture and at the
same time the truth behind all these,
which, if done effectively, would go
a long way in undermining the aver
age American readers worship of
such characteristics in men who are
leaders for the exploiting class?
In brief, my point is: The Daily
Worker needs more of what they are
recognizing in the U.S.SR. rev.

builders will have the following
tasks:
1. To improve the Daily Worker
through criticism and suggestions.
Q. To draw in more workers from
the mills, mines, factories and farms
to report to the Daily Worker news
of their daily struggles against the
bosses and to advise the paper for
further improvement.
8. To spread the Daily Worker by
getting other workers to subscribe to
it, getting it on newsstands, estab-
fishing routes of delivering the paper
to workers homes, selling the paper
before shop gates and workers halls.
4. To help sustain it by getting
regular contributions, placing sus-
tanning boxes in workers homes and
securing advertising.
The Volunteer Builders will have
the following form of organization:

non-dues- paying organization.

In response to Comrade Fosters
call and in line with the Open
Letter, which calls upon the Party
membership and the non-Party
workers to build the Daily Worker
into a powerful weapon in the hands
of the American working class, a
group of workers organized them
selves into a provisional committee
with the purpose of building up a
broad volunteer movement of Daily
Worker Builders.
We call upon Party and non-Party
workers from factories, workingclass
housewives and professionals and in
tellectuals to join us in our efforts
to make the Daily Worker better
and more powerful instrument in
the hands of the exploited masses.
Now more than ever, the workers
and farmers need a newspaper
mouthpiece which truly fights for
their interests, enlightens them and
leads them in their struggles.
The Daily Worker is the fighting
organ of the working class, partici-
pating in their every struggle. 1t
