AT the Paris Congress of Women
against War and Fascism, the entry
Of the delegation of women from
the Soviet Union was the signal
for applause lasting three quarters
of an hour, drowning out again and
again the bell ringing for quiet. In
the sparkling account of the con-
gress by Ann Barton in the New
Masses of Sept 4 the occasion is
thus described:
"On the last day of the Congress,
after being detained the ten dele
gates from the Soviet Union enter
the Congress Hall. It is the high
est point of the Congress. The
delegation is headed by Stassova
and Kirsanova beading Russian
Communists and includes the IA
nous woman scientist of the Chel-
iuskin expedition, and sturdy
women from the factories and
farms. At that moment something
electric startles the Convention.
1t seemed said Mother Bloor,
that then wave OF realization
swept over all Of us, that women
could never be free until we had
abolished the cause of war and all
women's oppression and inequality
the capitalist systemP The whole
audience goes wild, and though all
are not Communists, all rise to their
ar7d 81 +hn INT tN,Ao a L.
each in her language. The French
delegation shouts "Soviets Partout!
SoViets Partoutr CSoviets Every
where!D The other women Of the
Congress take up the cry. The
Russian women are the most re-
marxable of the Congress, beautiful,
with the vigor dignity, and poise
that can only exist in women of the
only liberated country of the entire
world
"A woman from the Bashkir So
Wet Republic speaks She relates
how women had been sold in her
country as slaves. Now they are
free and a factor in Soviet life and
culture. Only one road, she says,
can free women and the world
from the growing pressure of war
and Fascism. The road Of Oc-
tobe-.!"
Still another report on the Paris
Congress, which appears in the
Working Woman magazine, tells
more about the freeing of women
in Bashkir, as described by delegate
Jinergalnia from that Republic.

FRONT PAGE NEWS FOR
WORKERS
New York Cit

New York City.
Dear Editor: In the drive for new
readers for the Daily Worker, don't
you think you ought to consider
some improvements in reading-mat-
ter for the Daily? Do you think
that workers who were brought up
on sensational news can all of a
sudden become readers of the Daily,
which is full of hard bitter stories
of struggles, of strikes, of pickets
beaten up, of lynchings, terror,
party theses, and long editorials?
think that with all the efforts of
the Party members, and the mass
organizations to make the Daily a
real mass paper we will not make
much Roadway if some changes are
not made in the setup of the Daily.
I think that the Daily should have
all the news Of general interest on
the front page in a brief form.
Should also have sport news and
scores cn front page, and make the
front page attractive as newspaper
to casual reader.
think that if the Daily make
these changes and gives the front
page to more news OF general inter
est and sports, it would be worth
the sacrifice as some Of our sec
tarians think; it would result in
bringing Thousands Of nsw readers to
the Daily, and eventually they will
get used to reading the editorials
AND even the Party theses in the
Daily.
The question of how to make
the Daily Worker interest;,.,, for
workers who are not c,a..--con-
scious or politically developed, is
one that has seriously cc-:.co-ncd
the editors. It must be re;nem-
bered, however, first, that 1fhc
Daily Worker is a working class
newspaper in which the greatest
emphasis must be given to work
ing class news not provided 20
workers by any ether medium;
second, it must be voice and or
ganizer for the Communist Party,
In performing this function, the
Daily Worker mu7. Of course rsach
the widest strata of worIers. To
90 this VIC have introduced a
sports columa, eolnic strips. ear
toons. feature page. etc. and will
consider further features. But the
working class character Of the
paper cannot be changed as pro-
posed.
