India at War. By Sir George Dunbar. (Stationery Office. as.

6d.)

THIS is a lamentable example of M.o.I. propiganda. There are 32 pages in this pedestrian account of the Indian war-effort ; the photographs are badly chosen and badly arranged—an Indian sailor framed in a lifebelt caresses a cat ; there are ceremonial occasions and studio-portraits of Indian princes, and for this paper-covered brochure which resembles something put out by a tourist agency for free distribution the public are asked to pay 25. 6d. What public?
