A [iroptiscd amendment to the P. I. Dental t .\ct is under discussion in the Legislature. One l rlzttt-c provides that non-resident dentists be rr- i itttired to pay the sum of $400.00 before start- l 111g practice.

The clause is interpreted as being “protectic-n" for Islanders. Specifically mentioned are the lslatittl members of the profession who are leav- ing for service overseas.

lIf Allies “Left Off Fighting”

(Prom ‘I'm New York Times)

Winston Churchill can always be counted upon to produce the vivid pnzase. The other day he found one that was more enlightening than an hour's complicated speech on Allied war aims. "There are," he said. "thoughtless, dllettante or purbltnd wordlings who sometimes ask us: "What. ls it that Britain and France are fighting for?’ To this I make the answer: ‘If we left oft lighting, you would soon find Out.”

Suppose we carry Mr. Churchill's "if" a little further. I! the Allies "left. off fighting," Hitler's Ger- many would be secure m the pos- sesitm of its conquests and free for further aggression. What. then? Does any one along Germany's bor- ders imagine that. the relch would settle down as ti. good neighbour in Europe? The German campaign of abuse and terror which led to Munich came less than six months after Marshal Goerlng had given his "word of honour," on behalf of Hitler, that. Czechoslovakia need have no fear. The German inva- sion, and the extinction of Czecho- slovakia from the map of Europe came only six months after Hitler had solemnly promised at. Munich to respect the new Czech frontlcrs. The invasion of Poland six months thereafter followed the familiar time-table. and was preceded by the same technlqce.

The Allies are convinced that if they "left off fighting" now Buda- pes and Bucharest. and also Am- sterdam and Stockholm, would soon become concentration camps like Vienna and Prague and Warsaw, with the same savage despotism crtislting every standard of decency and every spark of freedom. They believe that insecurity and fear would so every free nation in

obligation.
