It was stated that Mr. Curtin gave this assurance after a discussion of reports that men had been brutally treated by the staff at some camps. The Speaker, Mr. J. S. Rosevear, said that cases of sadism had been reported to members by men who had inquired into detention camp conditions. Caucus members said some guards had compelled men undergoing punishment to carry backs,-heavily laden with stones, for lorig periods.
