DAILY WORKER IMPROVEMENTS.
We are going into the business of blowing our own horns for a change, first because we feel a bit proud, second because it's good business and third because we want to give our readers a chance to do some hornblowing on their own account, in behalf of their own paper.
We wish to take the opportunity at this time to call the attention of our readers to the recent improvements made in The DAILY WORKER.
Have you noticed Eugene Lyon's new column, "Footnotes to the News," with its keen thrusts at the present order, a wonderful combination of side-splitters and eye-openers? A prize of five inches of space in this column is offered to the comrade who can show us a livelier column anywhere.
Harbor Allen, our new dramatic critic, whose reviews have already caused considerable comment in artistic circles, is one of a group of writers who have rallied around The DAILY WORKER, as the only newspaper which offers a channel for the expression of the great dissatisfaction, which at present prevails among the honest and socially-minded elements in the newspaper field. This group includes a number of writers, associated with capitalist journals, who are going to give their ardent support and assistance to The DAILY WORKER. More will be heard from this group later on.
Plans are under way for the establishment of a radio column, a practical arts section, a women's page, and musical department.
The "News in Brief" column has been favorably received by many comrades as giving them a broad view of the news from many different sources, a sort of kaleidoscope of the day's events.
In general, the comments we get point to the fact that we are now publishing more and better news, both general and labor, and that the paper is becoming in every sense of the word, one of the nation's livest newspapers, a paper that delivers the Communist message with a punch and yet puts that message across in its most attractive form.
