THE transportation of thousands of
l. American soldiers, veterans of
the European war, across the coun-
try under little better than cattle
carr conditions is deplored and de-
nounced by all Americans apprecia-
tive of the heroic services and ex-
treme sacrifices of these valiant men.
These are the sons and brothers,
fathers and husbands, whom the
people of the United States have
waited so long and anxiously to
WELCOME HOME.
They are veterans of every cam
paign since the storming of Morocco
and Algeria.
They fought across North Africa
to Bizerte, and made the conquest OF
Sicily, and conducted the weary and
bloody campaign in Italy from the
Anzio beachhead to the final clear
ing of the Po valley.
THEY poured onto the Normandy
/ shore, and made the break
through at st. Lo and took the brunt
of the final thrust of German power
in the battle of the Belgian bulge,
and crushed the Ziegfried Line and
swept across the Remagen bridge to
the Elbe and victory
All of these decisive actions were
fought at the risk of every American
life concerned, and at the COST Of
thousands of American lives.
These American boys now arriv-
ing home and proceeding across the
country, most of them to fight in the
Pacific war, have been met in our
Atlantic ports by cheering throngs
and stirring music-attesting the
great appreciation and affection of
the country which they have served
so well.
They are entitled to ALL their
country can do for their comfort and
pleasure, the very BEST it can do
for them-not as their mere reward,
but as their inviolable RIGHT.
pUT instead, with the cheers and
ID music still ringing in their ears,
they have been herded into dirty,

DESPONSIBLE authorities have
~ pleaded many excuses for this
shameful situation, but none are ac
ceptable.
The situation itself is shockingly
real, and is admitted.
It is inexcusable, and intolerable.
America fighting sons DE-
SERVE the best, and should have it.
The American people are
thoroughly ASHAMED, and should
be.
For what is past and done, how
ever shamefully done, there is little
cure.
But in the future, and beginning
NOW, our national sense of indigna-
tion and outrage should compel the
diversion of sufficient sleeping car
equipment-clean and comfortable
and air conditioned, and without con-
gestion-to the proper transporta
tion of American troops within the
limits of their own country.

They sat three in seat in these
filthy cars, and in the aisles.
They had to beat the dust and
CRIME out of the cushions and uphol-

There was no water in some of the

of them.

discomfort, and even distress, this
tranScontinental journey has been
made by thousands of American
soldiers-in the blisterlng midsum-
