RETURNED SOLDIERS
Sir,-May I congratulate "The Kea" on his article "Understanding the Returned Soldier." It was absolutely firstclass. I hope that the Taranaki Union Secretary whose reported remark, "Are you going to live (or trade) on that for the rest"of your life" has read it, too. Please tell "The Kea’ that, from experience of a last war husband (unwounded, except in mind and spirit), and of lots of soldier patients, I know a cure for most of their unhappiness. Make it possible for such men to live among many happy, well-brought-up children, especially little ones, and it is amazing how that black cloud of depression, and the gulf of dreadful memories that bring it about will disappear. I have had the joy of watching this happen in more cases than my own. Little children can work this miracle where perhaps nothing else in the world would-‘"KEA IL" (Hawke’s Bay). [We have received several letters expressing appreciation of "The Kea’s" article.-Ed.]
