Overseas Doctors To Britain In view of the increasing demands on the scr- vices of doctors for war purposes in Britain. two Orders have been nmde, under the powers of the Defence Itcgulatiotts, authorizing the General Medical Council to include oversea doctors tem- porarily in the Medical Register under certain conditions. The first Order applies to doctors qualified to practise in Canada or the United States of America. 'I‘l1cy must bc of British na-, tionality or United States citizens. There are no specific conditions as to employment, but the ob- ject of the Ortlcr is to facilitate their employ- mcnt in the Emergency Ilcdical Service. The second Order applies to doctors qualified to practise in any part of the llritislt Etnpire or in the cottntrics of our littmpcztn Allies, or in Ger- many or ltnly. One of thc cottditions of registra- tion is that the doctor nulst be selected either for a ntcdical conunission in one of the fighting Forces or for ctl1pf11_\‘ttt<’tlt in a hospital, in- stitution, or scrvicc. not involving" attendance in the palicr1t’s own Itomc, approved by the Min- ister of Health (or i11 Scotland or Northern Ire- land the appropriate Secretary of State). The main objects of this Order are (I) to facilitate the entploytiicnt of tncllicnl officers in the allied Forces it1 the Vnitcd Iiiugllom by giving them the privileges of rcgistcrcd ntcdical practitioners, and (2) to facilitate the cutploytncnt of Dom- inion and foreign doctors in civil hospitals by giving them the stunc privilvgcs- Less—C0slly In The End There is some comfort in the reflection that, THE QIIARLOTTEIQYVN QQARDIAN with the prospect of great relief when victory has been \von, than that the war should be lost for lack of effort and that extremely costly national defence should have to be maintained for long yctlrs in the future. We pay the present heavy taxes for insurance against that worse fate which would inlpoverish the tax-payers and the country for a long pecriod. lt is well that recognition of this fact is being shown. The Toronto 'l‘clcgra1n, for instance, is quite to the point when it says: “Americans and Can- adians should understand that by paying for a full out war effort to beat Hitler now their fu- ture taxes and those of their children may get back to normal. If Nazi tnilitarislti is not crushed now there is nothing ahead of this continent ex- cept an endless arms race against an armed Europe with taxes going higher and higher. "From a purely dollar and cents standpoint it is common sense for the North American na- tions to go the limit now." We must fight to defeat Hitlerism, in the first place because we cannot endure the thought of a world under Nazi domination. At the same time, we shall get a good return for the enorm- ous war expenditure in the security and great reduction in defence costs in the new, democratic world order. -.

This popular form of refreshment (the sundae) was orlgalated in Wis- consin absut sixty years ago. A boy in an ice cream parlor asked to have some chocolate syrup pour- ed on ILiS dish of ice cream. His example was quickly followed. But the addition of the syrup increas- ed the cost. and decreased the prof- it. on ice cream. This led a confec- ttaner to annsunce that he would sell the new dish for a nickel only on Sundays. The confectcner later gave this Sunday specialty the name "Sundae", and applied it to ice cream covered with any syrups, sauces. crushed fruits or the like.- Trle Pethfmder. Nothing ls surer than the fact that Canadians are going to see this war through to its b.tter and triumphant end. They have shouldered without. hesitation a series of heavy financial burdens. This week, with the new budget, they take up an even heavier load. They have already develaped an army, navy and air force on a sub- stantial scale; and as me scale of the needs for direct manpower an- creases, so the readiness of Cana- dians to shoulder them will ap- pear also. We are only at the be- ginning of these demands. They will become larger and larger as time goes on, as successive cam- palgng develop on various ftglttittg fronts. —- Winnipeg Free Press.

(Christian Science Monitor) One May morning, when Normw England was young, theze fled into the confines of Sherwood rarest, according to the old bollfldi- I young man destined for centuries to be the idol of oPPressed Pe°i>l° everywhere. Hero of countless 5001'- ies and figure around which fierce, periodic literary controversies have been waged, Robin Hood became a symbol of the idea which d6- manded from the Norman oppzes- sore sucli fundamental conceptions of democracy as trial by jury. the Magma Charla. and the Parliamen- tary representative system. At. the beginning of the twelfth century when the few great oaks that now represent Sherwood For- est were saplings, that forest cov- cred the whole western part of Not- tlnghamshlre. Like the other forests of the realm ft was a Crown pos- session reserved for the pleasure of the Norman king and the ruling class. a privilege enforced severely by law against any Saxon Mb dar- ed to disregard it. It was safer for 1t Saxon to commit an? 0111119 In the calendar than it was for him to pouch upon the king's deer. ‘rricked into breaking the harsh forest law runs the legend Robin found a. safe refuge in the deep a merry band of outlaws that have glacles and surrounded himself with rollfcked their way throulzh the pages of literature and before the footlights ever since. The struggle between the Norman Sheriff of Nottingham who is the villain of the stories and Robin Hood. a Saxon. is not the tale of the law versus a mob of gangsters. but a conflict of ways of living, of races, end of ideas. the struggle of liberty against oppression. The very essence of democracy is the spirit o! fall- play. and Robin Hood stands in literature as the perfect hero no weak visionary but a stout veoman who can twirl a quarter-staff or split a willow twig at fortv paces with n. gray-goose shaft. At all times, Robin maintains tttt- status as a true gentleman.
