the view that hunger contractions lead to the development of gastric and duodenal ulcer. This is a late involvement, the possibilities of which are not to be disregarded.

Let me reiterate in conclusion that there is no doubt that a considerable number of our repatriated internees have virtually recovered from the acute stages of the maladies from which they suffered during their incarceration. That they ever will be as sound as they were before the war is another thing that is not quite so certain. Notwithstanding this, a high proportion of our ex-internees must still carry chronic intestinal disorders or other disabilities that form the aftermath of prison camp life. Many of these will fall into the hands of inexperienced physicians, or their funds will give out and they will fail to receive correct diagnosis and treatment. Many others will fail to realize their growing invalidism until it is far advanced, so insidiously do these chronic conditions often develop. All these will drag along without treatment, their usefulness to themselves and to society steadily depreciating, until they come to reap the final harvest of their adventure with practical international politics.
