a _LET’S COVER THEIR YELLOW WITH RED! i We know what we've got to do. We've BS Listen, Comrade--- te do something right at once, which " will so interest you in this BIG PAGE that you will not only read it to the very end, but read it twice, We could step on your toe. Or sit on your hat. Or do something equally vaudevillish to attract your attention: But instead, we are going to tell you a good story, Once upon a time there was a splendid bull. His calling was bull-fighting. Once each week this beast would ferociously dash into the arena, become infuriated because of the red capas the matadors or toreadors would fling into his face, dash hither and thither in frenzy, just like a mad bull would. One day the bull fighters hit upon a bright idea. Said they— If in this mottled yellow arena the bull gets as mad as he does at the bit of red we stick under his nose, why not set him aflame with fury by covering everything with a coat of red? This they did. Came the day for the next bull-fight. With a thundering roar the frenzied animal came tearing out of the en- closure. He rushed to the right! He surged to the left! Forward he dashed and backward he backed! Then, suddenly, he pulled up short, overwhelmed with the ex- panes of red that enveloped him! There are bull-fights, there are prize- Bewildered, overcome, frustrated, defeated—the bull sat dov-~ fights. There are all kinds of battles and contests. and munched a daisy! : The one we are in is called the class struggle. It towers over the rest like the Woolworth building over a chicken-coop—and_ then some. We fight the yellow press. We fight the yellow politicians. We fight the entire expanse yellow capitalism flourishes in. Splash a bit of red upon this expanse of yellow and the beast goes mad. The struggle intensifies. We must look to our weapons to make sure they are perfect. We must look to our entrenchments to make sure they are invulnerable. Comes then the day when the workers will have painted the entire world arena red. That will make what’s left of the old bull so dizzy he won’t know whether he is on the hoof or hamburger. We doubt if, upon that day, the beast will assume a sitting posture. And if it does, we know it’s not going to munch daisies in the little time left it to ponder its defeat. Thistles for the bull! Po. oe That’s our job. Covering their yellow with a coat of red! We began the work years ago. Hundreds of thousands of prole- tarians, masses of them in every country of the world, are at the task, One big country has been completely covered. Every coun- try has its crimson outposts and citadels. And here? No brighter splash of red was ever flung into the face of our enemy, the strongest foe of all, than when, about a year ago, THE FIRST ENGLISH COMMUNIST DAILY PAPER IN ve Mp ney A he BORN IN CHICAGO—THE DAILY Everything that is born does not live!
