Communist Mistreatment of U. S. Prisoners of War.

Abstract

The Communist treatment of prisoners of war is an insidiously planned conspiracy with a far reaching goal - World Domination. Prisoners of war are an important segment of this well-planned scheme. The treatment, indoctrination and utilization of prisoners of war are all part and parcel of Communist policy. The Communists refuse to concede a captured enemy any of his traditional rights as a prisoner. In their ideological struggle against 'capitalism and imperialism', they concede no rights to the individual. For them, captured enemy personnel are still part of the struggle. They consider their personnel who have been taken prisoner only to be temporarily out from under their control. Prisoners, too, must be used to serve Communist ends. The spirit of the Geneva Convention is a great moral achievement, but the Communists have violated all the humanitarian principles involved in regard to the treatment of prisoners of war. Their status and welfare were disregarded by the Communists from the time of capture to their repatriation and threats were made to secure their cooperation after repatriation.
