Scope and Contents

This is one letter to the editor of the Palladium - Item (a newspaper in Richmond, Indiana). The anonymous letter corrects the opinion piece printed earlier concerning prisoners of war. The opinion piece complained that we (the United States) treat our captured enemy soldiers too well, while U.S. soldiers detained in POW camps are mistreated by the Nazis. The response outlines the treatment for Prisoners of War demanded by the Geneva Treaty of 1929.
