OUR outlook is to have a daily

But daily newspaper can only
be built when we have a real
base as weekly to launch such
a venture. Toward that end,
we're setting our sights on. a
10000 paid circulation by July 4,
1947, of which 10000 are to be
subscriptions. This achievement
would put us in the clear finan-
