Facing the Third Year a8: As True Darry Worker stands today on the thresholdof the third year of its career it is but natural that we, should ,look back at the two years of our existence and marvel that we have been able to weather the storm that at times seemed.to engulf us, making further existence impossible. in the weary struggle of the working class toward emancipation, but they have been years filled with tremendous tasks for the ‘staff of the paper. But while we have struggled to maintain the paper as the spokesman for the working class of the United States, ana <p 290 have endeavored constantly to improve its columns so that it would. more clearly reflect the struggle and point the way to victory for the working class we never forget that the achievement belongs to the movement as a whole and it is the loyalty and the self-sacrificing devotion of the comrades of the party that has rescued us from crises that seemed overwhelming. We stand today facing another year of our existence at-a time when the imperialist bandits of America are preparing for ever new imperialist conquests, new betrayals of the working class, when the lackeys of the bourgeoisie at the head of the American labor move- ment are devising new forms of treachery to deliver the workers to their greedy masters. Here, in the United States, the most power- ful of all the imperialist nations of the earth, where the ruling class is most firmly intrenched, we challenge its mighty power, firm in our conviction that the message of Communism must be made to reach the fnasses that groan under the oppression of Wall Street. . Throwing our strength into the everyday struggles of the work- ers, we strive to direct the faltering steps of the battered and bleeding masses of labor to the path of the: proletarian revolution. We face the third year of our history as the only Communist daily in the English language, confidant that the loyal army of workers that has stood with us in the past two yearg will inerease in num- bers and determination during the next year and the years that are to come until we storm the last citadels of capitalism. Secretary Kellogg will now have a chance to prove on what authority he arbitrarily excludes from:this country people objection- able to the white terror government of Horthy_of Hungary...Countess Karolyi has called Kellogg before the District of Columbia court to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued compelling him to admit the countess to this country. It will be interesting to read of his defense and the court’s decision and may reveal interesting facts regarding the usurped powers of the secretary of state.

A successful issue was that containing a detailed account of the struggle of Locals 2, 9 and 22, of the International Ladies’ Garment Work- ers’ Union against the Sigman regime. It was distributed by the thousands at the giant protest peld-in the Yankee Stadium. The distifbition of special issues at the gated | the Detroit auto industry have been very suc- cessful.

The ‘DAILY WORKER proved an effective ‘medium for spreading Communist ee in PTER two years it may truly be said, that The DAILY WORKER emerges, as @ bolshevized weapon of the world Communist movement. It has been forged and hardened in many difficult ‘daily struggles. It ‘stands on the threshold of the ‘third year ready for and more ablé* than ever to meet greater conflicts: in the arena-:of the Glass struggle, The slogan on this second anniver- sary may be, “Build for the ‘Third Year!” but every day's effort holds in view that year—the Soviet Year in America—when oppressive Capitalism will crumple up and disappear even in the United States. It is on the should- ers of this mighty effort, growing daily, bending to the social revolution, that The DAILY WORKER promises to become during its-third year a more powerful mass organ of. the ‘whole American working ‘class than at any time during its first two years, * . ° ET it be recorded here that the most substantial birthday gift The DAILY WORKER coald have received was the presentation to. it of $33,000 by its readers in its hour of need during-the closing months of its sec- ond year. Most of this magnificent sum came from. the members and very close sympathizers of the Work- ers (Communist)Party, speaking many janguages but realizing the absolute necessity of having a mouthpiece in the English language to lead the workers and poor farmers in -their ambitions to develop revolutionary struggles against their oppressors’ so- cial order in the hope of ultimately achieving its sealetine ahead, in many industries, and in No- vember’s congressional campaign.

It is not surprising that capitalists should rec- ognize in| the Daily News a staunch supporter of the system and it was only natural that they. should show their appreciation. But one did not expect a leader of organized labor to felicitate the Daily News, and least of all an official of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers. we Hs Mae is what A. Marimpietri, exe- cutive member of the A. C. W., had to say: “The Amalgamated Cloth- ing Workers appreciate the fair and impartial attitude of the Chicago Daily News in publishing industrial news. As long as this policy of dispassionate veporting in matters affecting the cause of the workers is continued the ! Daily News will deserve the respect and good wishes of organized labor. n the hope that this will long be the case, we extend our good wishes for che long life and success of this great Chicago newspaper.” see F Mr, Marimpietri had read the Daily News during the strike of the Amalgamated against the Internation- al Tailoring company, he would find little cause for congratulation, None of-the capitalist papers were more vicious in slandering the strikers than the Daily News. It featured stories of violence attributed by the police and the spies of the clothing manufac- turers to the, striking workers. Edi- torially the News supported the in- junction policy and denounced any move that would be liable to help the workers. Yet, Mr. is a Safe bet that he will not wish The DAILY WORKER good luck on its second birthday, a paper that stood by the strikers thru thick and thin. 'N the absence of a comic labor weekly, the official organ of the 8S. L. P. is a fairly good substitute. The current issue contains several ar- ticles that can be counted on to con tribute to the gayety of a normal in- dividual with a sense of humor, more particularly as the editor of the Weekly People takes herself and her weekly conondrum very seriously. At least one page is taken up with a one- sided report of a debate between a person by the name of Silver, rep- resenting the S. L. P., and a Mr. Berreiter of the proletarian party. The P. P. man held that religion was not a private matter, While the S, L, P. man took the opposite position, on @ M®. Stver midquoted Marx and Lenin to prove that the §, L, P. is right in considering religion private matter, which means that the 8. L. P. does not consider it part of its “revolutionary duty” to help first to baptize religion as “the opium of the people.” On this point eryadicate the superstition of religion from the mind of the workers, But wher Mr, Silver was forced to swallow the quotation from Lenin against the “religic, opium that stupa people,” he modestly said that the S. L. P. does not agree with Lenin, and let it go at that. Marx was the first to baptize religion as “the opium of the people.” On this point the “fightin’' S. L. P.” will disagr with Marx. Fortunately it is of little consequence what the mole hole sec- tarians believe or disbelieve.” ‘‘campaign to Marimpietri has/ words of praise fér such a paper.

It is not mec- essary to dwell upon the political sig- _ nificance resulting from the gain of © 25,000 jnew ‘subscribers for ‘The — DAILY WORKER. We know very well what that would mean in increas- ed strength and size of our party.‘ But it is not generally understood what this gain would mean for The DAILY WORKER financially. Be- cause the capitalist papers can be purchased for less than the cost of producing them and must make up this deficit and their profits from ad- vertising, many comrades hold thet because The DAILY WORKDR can- vertising, its circulation does not. af- fect its financial condition. This opin- ion is far from the truth. We know precisely how much each new thou- sand subscriptions will reduce our yearly deficit. In round figures the amount is $2,000. In other words, an inerease of 25,000 in the subscription ~, circulation would reduce the yearly deficit by $50,000, wiping the deficit out_ altogether and leaving something mupist propaganda.
