UNWANTED DOCTORS

TR,—" A Polish Doctor " is not alone in his astonishment at the parent neglect on the part of the authorities to employ available edical talent. Since the Munich crisis I have been invited to place yself at the disposal of the War Office within forty-eight hours ; to e in the Emergency Medical Service (in two different but asso- ted specialist-capacities); to be available for service in emergency my provincial city ; to serve similarly in the outlying country. To of these inquiries I have replied in the affirmative, but so far I e not done a hand's turn towards the war-effort. It might be as

to mention that I am in my tenth year of specialist-practice. cently, somewhat tired of the official negativism, I suggested to the al Labour Exchange manager that I might be of use in some form intelligence service, but learned that medical men are debarred m such enterprise.

Let " A Polish Doctor " not be dismayed ; he and I may meet in e near future as compulsory fire-watchers.—Yours faithfully, A BRITISH Docros.
