§ Mr. Tolleyasked the Under-Secretary of State for Air why prisoners of war from Burma are threatened with courts martial if they speak of, or write about, their treatment while they were in captivity.
§ Mr. StracheyI am not aware of any such threat. What is done is to point out to former prisoners of war that publicity may be undesirable on some points— it might, for example,cause distress to the relatives of other men who were prisoners of war.
