Rather than use these m11thods, which were considered savage and in-. sulting to a man's dignity, it attempted to correct all offenders by humiliating them, by making them confess their crimes in public (at nseif Confession~ meet.1nga), a:nd 'by !!ErU.ightening!' them con= cerning their mistakes, Typical treatment for an offense would be oarr1ed out along the following lines: tor-example!. a soldier might write to his mother that he was currently at T'a an, tha·t he wae lonely and suffering from tho cold, and that he was eagerly looking forward to an early discharge, After the letter had boon censored, the matter would l>e brought up the following morning at a company formation, The polit ical of:f'ioer, would read the letter to the entire company and ask the assembly to offur Ci'i t1cism.

He could not keep tho tears of humil iation from flowing when ho was ordered, in front of the company, to list PJ.s v1olnt1ons of the ruleS a.nd ewec.r never to mo.ke such mistakes agnin, CCF troops, he said, by far preferred physical 'punishment to public ridicule, which involved a loss of fnco which persisted forever, After such a "Denunciation Meeting", the offender was called into tho political officer's ot'i'l.co for a heart-to-heart talk, Tho polit ical officer novel' shouted, culled iJ£!.UCS 1 or- used tl"~eata, but W"llS always 11 kl.ndly and :f'a therly11 , He sometimOB apo ke to tho offender for hours regarding his duty to the CCF and to tho Communist Govern ment.
