Cl Joe and CI Jim-Human Beings

The mercenary and selfishly gainful exploitation of CT Joe and G1 Jim has gotten bit beyond the high water mark and with the coming weight of political affairs is apt to reach the dangerous flood stage. The serviceman has been roundly exploited by many groups, dur ing this war, and portrayed as the mouthpiece of the opinions of those whose only commodity is personal ambl- ton; now in the next few months he IS apt to be made herring across the trail for those who seek nothing but their own selfish gain and position.
 This is exploitation in the worst taste Exploitation that belittleS the serviceman and rudely intrudes upon the personal dignity of him and his loved ones. In the minds of those who indulge in such eX- ploitation, he has become piece of pub- lie property, gaudily painted and set up for barter by means of cheap publicity.
 CT Joe and GI Jim are not material for ballyhoo artists, but are instead intel Iigent, sound thinking men whose con- sciousness of the demanding hardshipS of a lifetime have been Sharpened to an acutenesS by the stale dirty task of fight ing a war. They are engaged in the greatest conflict of their generation; SQCA1 aAl CPAN S1A u6BAS, 40 OAOoCAFC VI AAAS- tory of the sort that is immortal and gains stature long after the sterile life of public exploitation has ceased.
 CT Joe and CT Jim are not inmates of an institution which might be called mil itarism, as would these exploiters have us believe. They are not helpless victims for whom the return to civilian life will be too difficult. They are not objects for future coddling or sentimental sym pathy. They are, instead, the men and boys who lived down the street, or next door, here in Waterbury. They do not think in terms of heroism but as some- one with a lonely, fighting ache to get back home, as soon as possible; a home where things won't be changed too much and where the promise of better to- morrow will be present.
 That better tomorrow is the construc- tive, far-sighted legislation we can and should pass through into laws, now. The type of legislation that promises assist ance where it is merited, and gives hope of the means of security to man who needs time and aid in getting back on his feet. That better tomorrow can never be fact if it is to be based on the vapid Nordiness of those who now give lip
