It- is a paragraph from a soldier’s letter which graphically reveals what our fighting men are having to do in the wild mountainous country south of the equator and what they think of the American heme scene. “Hot, humid heat, insects and ants of a thousand kinds and descriptions, mosquitos of the dengue and malaria type, no warm baths, no fresh foods, tropical sores, itches and rashes that are hard as hell to heal. I have a rash that has been with me for months. “Too many petty things are being wrangled over, in and out of Congress, by editors and news broadcasters . . . too much politics is being injected into the war effort at home. What I want to read about are U awards for Unity, rather than E awards. Look at the wrangling over the soldier vote, mustering out pay, future bonus, labor legislation, business legislation, subsidies and a price law. We read of the farm lobby, manufacturers lobby, all out to get their pound of flesh. We hear Forums on Win the Peace for Labor, Win the Peace for the Farmer, and Win the Peace for Business— self-styled experts and planners of the future. * Why in hell don’t they shut up and concentrate on winning the war and the peace for all America?” This letter indicates that our jungle fighters have other enemies than the Japs to battle in the Pacific sector. Tropi cal diseases, prostrating humidity and difficult terrain -are a few. The soldier down below the equator might have added “that there are many other^thmgs takings place on thehome front which are making abominable history for our children to read. Strikes in essential war industries are piling up. Cheap _politics are sabotaging the war effort. „ We, as Americans, should feel deep contempt for our selves. We drive many miles to a dance, to a party or seme other kind of social activity which by no stretch of the imagi nation can be classified as essential. We, are engaged in our little do-or-die struggle for pleasure and recreation. There are so many of us who can be classified as the worst type of home-front parasites-^—not worth the smallest kind of a sacri- -fice that-4hW obocurc lads are inakiiig howiTUi'ere below the equator—or in Italy—or ^anywhere else those G-I young sters are fighting.
