But it isn’t simply the let- ters that help, it's the information the letters con- tain. A bad letter can knock a soldier just as far below the morale norm as a good letter can push him above it. The Office of War Information has thought let- ters of enough importance to ask more than 60,000 soldiers tc express opinions on what makes a good Jetter and what makes a bad one. Here are some of the results of that inquiry: A letter in which the writer at home complains | of the hardships war brings him is a bad letter. It makes the soldier who gets it wonder whether or riot the sacrifices—real ones—which he and his com- panions are making are worthwhile. He likes hear that the folks at home are doing things to! help win the war, but above all he likes to hear that they have a zest and enthuslasm about their part m‘ A letter which is cheerful throughout is the sort ‘Whl('h does a good job for the soldier.

The toll of prisoners was swollen by Indian troops taken at Hong Kong and Singapore. In known dead the more in proportion to white population than has the rest of the Empire. The reasons are largely strategic, but they do afford comment on the Axis- inspired canard that Britain has been letting the colonies and dominions fight her battles.
