The Daily Worker Newspaper, March 10, 1934, Page 7

CHANGE -— THE — WORLD! By SENDER GARLIN i Tee newspaper business is the seventh largest industry ~din the United States. It is outdistanced in value of production only by auto, meat-packing, steel, foundry, oil andthe electrical machinery industries. Mr. Randolph Hearst, for example, owns 22 news- papérs in 18 cities, with an aggregate circulation of more than 4,000,000 a day as compared with a total circulation pers of about 40,000,000. Arthur Brisbane’s column, “Today” sidious chauvinistic propaganda for “Navy second to none” i- its staccato platitudes, is read by more’ than 30,000,000 persons pa ‘: inthe United States. d The daily capitalist press has a circulation of more than 40,000,000. v7 A vey of the American Newspaper Annual and Directory revealed ¢ 54 general magazines in the U. 8. had a combined circulation of over 50,900,000. This included such leaders of bourgeois culture as the Saturday Evening Post, Ladies Home Journal and Country Gentle- men (combined circulation in 1930 of over 17,000,000 per issue); the American Magazine, Collier’s and other barbershop weeklies. : The Poison Factories * ASEOUS fumes for the asphyxiation of the masses arise also from such influential publications as “Liberty,” “True Story,” and others of the same level. : Lenin once wrote that “the freedom of the press throughout the world where the capitalists rule, is the freedom to buy up the papers, the freedom to buy writers, the freedom to buy and mana- facture public opinion in the interests of the capitalists,” Boldly fighting against this sinister aggregation is the press of the’ revolutionary working class. Among these the Daily Worker, central organ of the Communist Party, holds the foremost position in counteracting the poisonous influence of the boss press and in or- ganizing and directing the struggles of the workers. The circulation of the Daily Worker is growing, but certainly not in proportion to the possibilities created by four and one half years of crisis, and the growing disillusionment of the masses in the Roose- velt “recovery” program. Experience proves that wherever workers are made aware of the existence of. the Daily Worker and are induced to read a copy, they realize it is THEIR PAPER, fighting for their interests—and they in- variably subscribe to it. The following letters, picked at random from hundreds received during the present circulation drive for 10,000 new daily and 20,000 new Saturday readers, demonstrates the real possibility ‘for increasing the circulation of the “Daily.” * . Builders of the “Daily” Dear Comrades: I am a member of a shop unit in Omaha, Neb. I have been trying to talk to one of the fellows I am working with in my depart- ment for a long time about the Communist Party. He always gave me a@ short answer, something in line with the fllowing: “I think it’s all bunk. It won't do any good. I am not interested.” t didn’t know what to do to interest him, and finally I thought about the Daily Worker. One day I took an oki copy of the “Daily” along and gave it to him. I told him to take it home and read it, and then tell me what he thought of it. “I ‘think it’s all bunk,” he answered, but tcok the papcr. The next day he came over to my place and told me: “Boy, that is a peach of a paper.” “Alright,” I said, “you can subscribe now for a whole month for 50 cents or for the Saturday edition for four months for the same price.” : He subscribed to the Saturday edition. That was about three Weeks ago. Now he is speaking about joining the Party in a little while. —C. R., Omaha, Neb. . . . . Dear Comrades: I just sold a sub for the “Daily” to a worker who has worked faithfully for 26 years as car inspector for the railroads here. Today he is one of the victims of the depression—out of a job, penniless, trying hard to make a living here and there, not only for himself but even for his married’ children, who are also out of work. After he read a few issues of the Daily Worker he began to see why he is out of a job, why we have a crisis. He is a member of the Brotherhood, and for the first time he sympathizes with the Communist movement. He has promised to donate a dollar to the Communist Party as soon as he is able to do so. —Y. DIX, Syracuse, N. Y. * Chicago, Ti. At an affair held by the local Ozecho-Slovak “New World” Club, I approached a young worker on the question of Austria. He asked me how I knew so much of the revolutionary uprising.. I handed him a copy of the Daily Worker. This immediately interested him, and a week later I got in totch with him and he subscribed for ser the “Daily.” : Yours for mass circulation, —IJ08. LEPNICKY, Chicage, Hi. . . . . Daily Worker, Dear Comrades: Enclosed you will find two subscriptions for the Dally Worker, making it three im all that I have sent in so far. They are new contacts I gained by passing my copy of the Daily Worker to them, and discussing with them the daily struggles, the role of the Communist Party as céntrasted with the role played by the Socialist leaders and the capitalist class as a whole. This must be done by every class conscious worker and reader / of our press until otr subscription drive goes over the top. I pledge to do my utmost, —E. L.,, Miami, Fla, Detroit, Mich. Daily Worker. Dear Comrades: I am sending you a 3-month sub to the “Daily” for a shop-maie as my first contribution to your circulation drive. He had never even heard of a Communist paper in the U.S.A. before I talked with him, but he declared he would try it and after reading it, subscribed. I have believed in Communism for years and have always voted for the Communist Party ticket, but am not yet a member, and do not even know one member personally. Please send me some more information about how to join the Communist Party. I have great faith in your Paper and its ultimate success. —J. E., Detroit, Mich. * Philadelphia, Pa. Daily Worker. Gentlemen: Enclosed find four subscriptions to your paper. The subscribers that I have secured agree with me that one can’t be really civilezed unless they appreciate the Daily Worker and broadcast its noble contents, Very truly yours, —MANUEL SEGAL, Philadelphia, Pa. * * * Boston, Mass.

G. NEW YORK.—Earl Browder, Gen- eral Secretary of the Communist | Party of the United States, who has just returned from a _ ten-days’ speaking tour in steel, coal and automobile centers, “every- where signs of the broadest act- ivity of the working class, and more in- tense than at any time since the post-war period.” Browder spoke to large and en- thusiastic audi- ences of work- ers in Pitts- n - burgh, Cover- EARL BROWDER jale, Pa,, Turtle Creek, Pa., Youngstown, Cleveland, Detroit and Gary, and his general subject was “The Way Out of the Crisis—What a Workers’ ment Would Do in the United States.” In Pittsburgh the audience con- found | sisted of miners, steel workers and workers in the Westinghouse Elec- trie Company. A large proportion at all meetings, he said, were Negro workers. Mass Organizations Growing Activity, Browder pointed out, is witnessed by the “unexampled mass turnouts for all actions organized by the Party and the cireles around the Party. In fact, all the mass or- ganizations supporting the Party are growing as never before. But quite beyond our organizational in- fluence, there is evidence of grow- ing activity among workers, middle class elements, professionals, intel- lectuals, ete.” ‘There are sure signs of a grow- ing strike wave, Browder declared. “There ts no doubt but what a big strike wave is maturing. Sentiment general spirit of militancy. Foree Firing of Foreman “In fact, right in the heart of the trustified industries—in Gary, Ind., for example, where workers, sur- rounded by company spies, feared to protest— there is a broad movement of struggle developing. This is viv- idly illustrated by the fact the workers in one of the Gary steel mills recently as a result of a cam- paign by the C.P. shop nucleus, forced the bosses to fire a particu- larly objectionable foreman. Such a thing would not long ago have been considered quite inconceivable.” Browder in his tour noted general improvement in the work of the Party, although in some places this improvement “ts not yet decisive.” | Tt is a fact, however, he asserted, that “there is lively pre-convention discussion in the lower ranks of the Party, more than is yet reflected in the contributions in the Daily Worker discussion cotumn.” The Party, Browder stated, “is growing everywhere, but we cannot yet say that it is awake to the enormous possibiigies for mass re- Govern- | jcruitment. The Party districts are no means taking full advantage of these possibilities.” “Many of the districts and sec- |tions,” he went on, “still function in the old, sectarian way, within a narrow circle, and are not taking | sufficiently energetic steps to break away from bad methods of work Many of them still use the old ‘stereotypes’ instead of the fresh language of the masses—language that the masses can understand. Fresh Approach Needed “We must learn to have a fresh approach—not from the outside, but from the viewpoint of the workers’ the light of the Party program.” An outstanding feature of his meetings, Browder reported, was the “eagerness with which the workers listened to the program for establishing 2 Socialist (Sov- iet)) society in America, They en- thusiastically greeted the explana- | tlon of what a workers’ govern- ment would and could do. “The meetings demonstrated that work in increasing numbers are jact thinking about the problem | of taking over power from the cap- italist class in practical terms. | “The problem of workingclass | power is definitely on the order of | the day for these workers. They ‘are thinking about it and demanding j@nswers to this question. | “There is no doubt that the vast | majority of the workers who came |to my meetings did at one time |have illusions about Roosevelt; un- j questionably most of them voted | for Roosevelt and believed in him, | particularly during the first period |ot the ‘New Deal;’ but these work- ers have been jolted out of their illusions by their own direct ex- | periences. They have found that | wages, hours and working condi- | tions are everywhere becoming in- | creasingly worse.” | Great Interest in Austria | Browder told of the “profound in- jterest in the Austrian everits” |among the workers. Everywhere, he said, ‘workers adopted resolutions supporting the struggle of the heroic Austrian workers, and “displayed the closest attention to the lessons | of the defeats in Austria and Ger- Many as a result of the policies of own experiences and problems in | BAILY WORKER, NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MARCH 14, 1934 Talks Tomorrow In § tudy of Hawaii, OP War Base HAWAII—War Base in the Pacific.

It supplements the article by Sen Katayama in the Communist In- ternational, June 22, 1933. This forceful pamphlet was prepared by | Weinman under the direction Labor Research: Association. The Hawaiian Islands, lying mid- way in the Pacific between America and Asia, are becoming of increas- | ing importance to the United States 8s another imperialist war ap- proaches. American imperialism maintains at Pearl Harbor the most powerful naval base in the world, built at a cost of $50,000,000 and continually being strengthened. To| bring out the war significance of the islands, Weinman traces recent events, including the flight of the! navy planes, the visit of Secretary Swanson and the projected visit of | Roosevelt himself. Hawaii is an agrartan appendage jof Yankee imperialism, a two-crop | country in which, as in all colonial | countries, the development of | dustry is prevented by imperialism The average wage is less than $1 a day—when there is work. |the sugar and pineapple industries are seasonal, this means that there is work only four months in the year. -As in most colonial coun- tries, foodstuffs are imported, and are therefore prohibitive in price. ‘The vast majority of the population | is thus forced to subsist on rice. In| 1909, 1920 and 1924, great strikes occurred in Hawaii, militantly con- ducted by the workers, in spite of | treacherous reformist leadership and | the bloodiest terror on the part of the plantation companies and their government. The author of the pamphlet gives a graphic account| of these strikes and outlines their | lessons for the workers. | i ie am ymposium on in-| Since} Int | | | BROOKHAVEN, Miss. — Outside of a general view of |‘ ellectuals “If He Doesn’t Get Work, He'll Do Anything!” By JOHN L.

A. as an “intelligent application of the Soviet principles }in the United States.” Others, while | supporting the N. R. A., admit its failure and then proceed to pass out what is considered in certain liberal bourgeois circles as learned advice on how to make the New Deal a roaring success by injecting into it large doses of a well shaken mixture of Soviet economy. Soviet jurispru- dence and Soviet morality.. The most recent recruit to this latter group of rattle-brained scribblers is the well-known Sherwood Eddy, Y. M. C. A. lecturer, writer of manv hefty tomes and now author of “Russia Today:> What We Can Learn From It.” Mr. Eddy, who has traveled far and wide in the Soviet Union, who has seen and recorded the develop- ments there during the past sixteen years and has obviously read some of the basic works of Marx, Engels, .|Lenin and Stalin, has been unable nevertheless to purge his mind of the cobwebs of bourgeois and Chris- tian idealism; and thus while prais- ing many of the achievements of the revolution he still makes the Tidiculous celeulation that these achievements can be accomplished under capitelism, under the aegis of the. New Deal. While Mr. Eddy vigorously insists that he is a friend of the Soviet Union (and indeed he has been heralded throughout the world as such) his book makes it clear that he does not deserve this title. For on the first page of his book, where he says that America can learn much from the Soviet Union, Mr. Eddy speaks of the U.S. S.
