HE contributions for the Keep The DAILY WORKER Fund for the week efiding November 13, were double those of the previous week, as shown above. That shows that the party members and the sympa thizers of the party who are helping The DAILY WORK- ER have thrown double the strength Into the Keep The DAILY WORKER campaign. Even last week's showing, however, does not show a full mobilization of the party forces to Keep The DAILY WORKER. For two weeks during the month of Ootober the contributions for Keep The DAILY WORKER cor tificates reached: close to the $3,500 mark. The contribu- tions for last week were stili $600 under this showing and $1,500 short of the $6,000 per week which must be ralsed during the remainder of the Keep The DAILY WORKER campaign. There are still thousands of members of the party who should have contributed for Keep The DAILY WORKER certificates. With these thousands giving their support of the campaign we can drive up the weekly contribu- tlons to the $5,000 mark. We ask these members to join their strength to that of the party members and sympathizers who have given splendid support In the fight to Keep The DAILY WORKER for our movement.

The whole time she has been in the country, it is known that her so-called “social retinue” was far out-numbered by a busy band of Roumanian diplo- mats and financiers who were here for the sole purpose of utilizing the queen's journey to talk and negotiate with the men who hold the purse strings. Ira Nelson Morris, the Roumantian consul general for the eastern half jef the United States, has not once left the queen's side. At the famous banguet given for her at the Bank er’s Club in New York several days after her arrival, reporters were not allowed to be present and an attache of the Roumanian embassy was known to have spoken in plain terms about Roumanian finances. Demonstration Counts. Some significance no doubt Wiso-ht- taches to the fact that the announce- ment of the. sbbreviated stay in the country was issued the morning after the hot reception given to the queen on her arrival in Chicago. The Chi- cago demonstration has had a strong reverberation thruout the country. The broadcasting of The DAILY WORKER'S expose concerning Cotzo- fanesti has also doubtless had its in- fluence on the plans of the royal ad- visers.

EIGHT WORKERS ARRESTED FOR ANTI-ROYALISH Shamefal ” Servility Is Shown at Synagogue A disgusting display of shameless servility was shown in Chicago when the portals of the “Doors of Heaven” synagogue, a Roumanian-Jewish insti- tution, were thrown open to receive Queen Marle of Roumania with lavish display on Sunday afternoon. Specia! services were held honoring the monarch of Roumania, which has out- done any other European nation in anti-semitism, the lot of the Jewish minority there being incredibly fright ful. And more workers were arrested for continuing the work of protest that began on Saturday. A protest, organized by Internation- al Labor Defense, circled around the synagogue, distributing leaflets in the Jewish language, and an English leaf- let, calling upon the workers to ex- press their resentment of the terrorist regime of the queen and to demon- strate their solidarity with the Ron- manian workers, peasants and nation- a] minorities. 8 Arrested.
