NEW YORK.—Little Ralph Gon- zales, 9-year old son of an unem- ployed worker, who came to school without breakfast only to be killed by poisonous food given him by the City, will be buried today. The funeral of Ralph Gonzales will be no ordinary funeral.

Moved by the death of the Gonzales at a school near the one where the children were poisoned, brought to the office of the Daily Worker some samples of the rotten food fed to the children, and expressed the conviction that this was the cause of the boy's death. She told of ice cream which had turned green and tasted so bad that children could not eat it and sometimes brought it back. She told of rancid butter, rotten vegetables, fermented fruit and rusty containers in which the children’s food was handled. She told of a case where a boy vomited for three days in suc- cession each time he ate his lunch. Discriminating Against Negro Children. She described how the children in Negroe neighborhoods received food which was the pick of the very worst handed out to the children of workers. Relief rations have been cut down. »| Where children used to receive break- fast and lunch, now they get only lunch.

S. A., Calls for “Wide-Spread Drive to Build the Daily Worker. ‘ENS of thousands of workers realize the importance of the revolution- ary press as a mighty weapon in the struggles against the: hunger and war program of the capitalist class. With the aid of workers in industry, in the neighborhoods, on the bread-lines, in strikes, hunger marches and in the struggles »¢ainst capitalist terror, the Daily Worker is more and more becoming the fighting organ of the toiling masses. Our revolutionary paper is being built in the course of struglle. At the same time the Daily Worker, from day. to day gives guidance to the struggle,—it not only unmasks the enemies of the toiling masses, agitates for action against the capitalist offensive, put welds into ef- fective organization the mass movement that is growing against capital- ism. “TOILING MASSES IN FERMENT.” The movement of the workers and farmers and ex-soldiers is going forward. Marchers from the ranks of hungry men, women and children are on the road to Washington; their ranks are swelling every day. ‘The impoverished farmers are moving toward Washington. The ex- sOldiers are, joining in the new wave of the movement. Every part of the country sees the toiling masses in ferment. There is gathering to- gether an accumulation of mass power that with sledge hammer blows can compel the robber government and its Wall Street bosses to come through with relief, unemployment insurance and the bonus for the starving masses this winter. In the development of this movement the Daily Worker must not only be a powerful booster for the mass movement, but must give the lead on how to combat the enemy at every turn. BRING “DAILY” TO ALL WORKERS! While the marchers are converging on Washington there must be an increase in the local struggles for relief in every part of the country. Workers still in industry, under the stagger system, and existing on wages that are no better than hunger rations, must be organized to fight against hunger, combining the part-time and unemployed for struggle against the common enemy. The most effective way to bring the message of revolutionary struggle to the workers in industry is to spread the Daily. Worker in the factories, mines, mills, among transport workers, among the unemployed. At this juncture in the rising mass fight against hunger the Daily Worker is launching a new subscription drive to get masses of new readers for our paper. In this drive it is especially necessary to blast one opportunist illusion that shows itself in the form of a theory that because the Daily Worker is a Communist paper it cannot be brought into tht midst of the workers no matter where or how they orga- nized. There is no kind of organization of the toiling masses, no place workers assemble where the Daily ought not be. To neglect to spread the Daily everywhere is nothing but the worst kind of opportunist eva- sion and an underestimation of the willingness of workers to wage a class fight against their oppressors. MOBILIZE PARTY MEMBERSHIP. In connection with the general subsctiption drive for the “Daily” there is also the drive to obtain 25,000 subscribers for the Saturday issue of the Daily Worker. New Saturday features are to be added that will especially appeal to workers and farmers who subscribe to this Saturday. weekly issue. To bring this about, to realize the best results, it is imperative that this drive be immediately and seriously taken up by the entire Party. It is the special task of every district secretariat to take the initiative in mobilizing the district membership for this drive—not by the old method of bureaucratic circularization, but by personal contact—select- ing a capable comrade or group of comrades to visit every section ,to see that every unit is enlisted. Not merely must comrades assigned to this work get subs themselves, but they must see to it that the territory is divided for the purpose of careful canvassing by the whole membership. The New York City Conference, held last Sunday, showed the way to the establishment of permanent Workers’ Conferences which will be- come powerful bases for the circulation of the Daily and for improving the contents of the Daily by establishing firm roots among the masses everywhere. boy, a relief worker who prepares food {fr ums will be given, The whole drive is based upon revolutionary competition. _-district has its quota assigned and can challenge other districts. Sec- tions and units can enter into this competition and those with reputa- tions as expert sub-getters can challenge others. Every Communist will recognize that this subscription drive for the Central Organ of the Party is a task that is second to none and will do everything possible to put this drive over the top! In every activity—boost and build the “Daily”. —CENTRAL COMMITTEE, C€. P., U.S. A. Wide city committees should be set up, enlisting the broadest pos- sible mass support for the Daily. Committees should be set up in all mass organizations to canvass every member of such organizations and reach the supporters of these organizations. BUILDING THE “DAILY” A MAJOK TASK. In this drive provision is made for premiums for those who dis- tinguish themselves by effective work. Anyone who gets $750 in subs will get a free trip to the May Day celebrations in the Soviet Union. District$ or sections or groups of individuals can pool thir subs centrate on a selected candidate for this premium.

Italy is expected to join the united front. Poland, Greece and others of the smaller countries have already defaulted on their pay- ments, and will support this imper- ialist united front against United States imperialism. Hoover and Roosevelt are to confer on Tuesday on the debt question. Both are saiq.to be opposed to re- iam delay or cancellation unless the European debtor powers agree to make concessions to United States imperialism. These include trade and territorial concessions, helping the United States against Japan, one up of the war drive against the viet Union and acceptance of the Hoover Arms Plan aimed at strength- ening American imperialism at the expense of its rivals. In addition, there is a marked tendency to renew the drive to force the European pow- ers to cut down the already meager social services, in line with Hedaned resentatives expressing themselves as opposed to any discusson of debt re- vision unless the. European powers are ready to meet the demands of Am- erican imperialism.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.—While ac- tive recruiting is going ahead throughout the country for the big National Bonus March to Washing- ton, various capitalist organizations, | supported by both the republican and | | democratic parties, are intensifying | their campaign against the bonus. The two latest moves in the anti- bonus campaign were the publication yesterday of the results of a question- naire attempting to show that no bonus bill can pass the next session | of Congress, and a vicious attack on the vets by Archibald B.
