Elections took place on September

Communist Party of Sweden in
creased its vote more than 45O per
cent over the last elections; the
Communist Party of Australia, more
than 300 per cent.
There are now 40 Communist
deputies in the Swedish Riksdap. as

against war and fascism, for Soviet
power.
IN Australia, the fight against the
Labor Party takers gained the
Communist Party three-fold in
crease in votes over 1881. The cleo.
ton program of the Communist
Party of Australia was an excellent
piece of work. In the briefest man.

In the United States where the

at all, if sufficient energy, if suf1-

our campaign, why we should not
exceed our brother parties in in
creasing the Communist vote.
THE Daily Worker has now added
L to its list new exclusive press
service from Stockholm, Sweden,
which covers all of the Scandina-
Wan and Baltic states. 1t is called
the NOrdisck Pressebureau & Tele-
grafsgentur, and will enable us to
supply still fuller reports of the
class struggle in these countries.
For the benefit of our readers we
want to point out now that our in
ternational news service and con-
nections far exceed those of any
capitalist newspaper in the United
States. We receive, for example,
the Chinese Workers Correspond
ence, which has special correspond
ents and writers in all of the Soviet
districts in China, in Canton, Han.

Then we get the daily mail and
cable reports from RUNA, whose
main Office is in Zurich, Switzer-
land, and an English bureau in
London. RUNA has special CORES
pondentS in every important city
in Europe, and receives special I'M
derground reports from Germany
on the struggle against Fascism.
We have lately added to our for
eign news service IMPRESS, with
head offices in Paris, devoted chiefly
to the fight on imperialist war and
fasciSm. Besides daily mail service
from this source, we have made ar
engagements for cable reports on all
important events in Germany and
France.
The Daily Worker has a special
correspondent, Vern Smith, in
Moscow. COmrade Smith is now
touring the Soviet Union writing
special feature stories for our
paper, which we print from time
to time.
Another of our exclusive press
services is the International Press
Correspondence which supplies us
with cable news daily on the most
important world events.
News from Italy comes to us via
LInformazione Italiana Servizio
Stampa, which contains reports of
economic and political conditions in
Fascist Italy and the struggle
against the Mussolini murder re-
gime gathered and sent out at great
risk by an army of worker-corres-
pondents and writer's.
There are many others that We
do not have space to mention here.
WE have very deliberate purpose

foreign news service. We have been

Daily Worker It's just what the
doctors ordered. And we cannot
disobey the Medical Advisory Board
of the Daily Worker or permit Sen
der Garlin, Jack Burck, David RAM
say, or Helen Luke to run away
with the contest without an effort
on our part.
Comrade Garlin proposes to raise
$500. We pledge to attempt to
equal this. Certainly we ought to
surpass it, if we are to make full
use of our international press SER
vice and be able to supply our read
ers with better and fuller cable re-
ports on the tremendous events in
Germany, France, the Soviet Union.
Right now we are gypping our
readers on lot of valuable news
because of lack of space, and lack
of money to pay for it while it's hot.
If the 100000 Daily Worker financial
drive goes over, it means success for
