Mac- donald, Minister of Veterans Affairs announced that the Government will introduce a Bill designed to provide special compensation for former prisoners of war. The Bill is expected to provide additional benefits for former prisoners of war of the Japnese, most of whom were captured at the fall of Hong Kong on Christmas Day 1941 and were kept in captivity until the end of the war. They suffered severely at the hands of their captors and the results of malnutrition, cruelty, torture, indignities and conditions of imprisonment have had a marked and lasting effect upon them. There are ap- proximately 1,140 former prisoners of war of the Japanese. In addition the proposed Bill will provide similar com- pensation, but to a lesser degree and on a sliding scale related to the period of time spent as a prisoner of war to those who were captured during or after World War II. There are between 6,000- 7,000 former prisoners of war of the Germans, Italians and North Koreans who would be affected. Those who were captured at the time of the Dieppe raid and who were shackled and suffered other maltreatment and personal in- dignities and who had been a prisoner of war for over 21/2 years will receive a greater benefit than those whose incarceration was for lesser periods. The Government's decision to provide special compensation follows from a study on the ef- fects of imprisonment during World War II by Dr. J. D. Her- mann and consideration of his report by the Standing Com- mittee on Veterans Affairs, The compensation payable, which will be of benefit to former prisoners of war and their families will be indexed to keep pace with changes in the Con- sumer Price Index. The initial reaction of Veterans Organizations arid Opposition Parties is one of considerable satisfaction that the Government has recognized the problems and suffering of former prisoners of War, Branch 540's 3rd annual cheque draw is well under way and for the information of all par.' ticipants here are the naffieS of the winners of the $100.00 draws.
