England has devised for fllmgoerS.
England's air defense, the gigantic,
lightning quick machine which goes
into action the instant raid alarms
send humanity burrowing in the
earth, is the theme of Korda's proud
and patriotic production. It's stars
are Merle Oberon and Ralph Rich
ardson, but only for marquee pur-
poses, for the most brilliant cast
conceivable could not compete in
dramatic force with the mechanism
which weary, worried England has
devised in its fight for life.
No conventional film, this one de-
parts radically from formula to
achieve its sustained exciting quail
ity. "The Lion Has Wings" bothers
but little with a story which is no
more than an Indifferent fragment.
Its purpose is to reveal the degree
of England's readiness for air at
tack, to beget confidence at home
and to create confusion in the hearts
of the enemy. The area which the
camera covers is enormous and the
view of the mechanism it reveals is
almost startlingly intimate. One sees

First, it is hoped that those that can

Letter to Ely Woman Reveals
Tragic Conditions Exist In
War-Torn Country.

Ffnland's price for peace weighs
heavily upon the people of that war
torn target Of Russian expansion, a
letter received here by Mrs. Emil
Buskala from her sister in Turku re-
veals.
Stating that you now know we have
peace with that bloodhound, the letter
continues that peace was marked by
tears and flags at half mast.
Turku, located in the southwest cor
ner of the country and one Of Fin
lands most important cities, was
bombed 132 times. Its residents dared
not remove their clothing at night be-
cause they knew the bombers would
give them no rest.
After the war was ended, the writer
said, refugee family returned to their
home in Viipuri, in the Karelian 18TH
mus and ceded to Russia by the peace
treaty to see if they could salvage
some of their personal belongings.
They found a Russian family already
in possession of everything that they

though the date for their occupation
of the city had not arrived.
The letter, written shortly after peace
came, was opened by Finnish censors
according to markings on the envelope
Excerpts from it follow, as translated
for The Miner by Mrs. Anna Leino:
"As you know, we now have peace
with that bloodhound But what kind
of peaceI When it became known il
was as if sword had been thrust
through every Finnish heart-anc
through every honest and right minded
person throughout the world. 1t is
such a heavy peace that it is hard to
portray in words.
When Russia invaded our land we
were not so upset as we are now. Then
no one cried, but now we have c-ieC
and cried. One needs only to hear ouI
national songs over the radio and the
tears fall. The speeches of our presi-
dent and Field Marshal NJ lnerhein1
seem to interpret the heartfelt senti-
ments of our suffering people.
For three days the flags have been
flying at half mast And when after
three and a half months of darkness
the street lights were turned on, we
could not rejoice. The lights seemed

like ironical laughter to our eyes which
were accustomed to the darkness But
nevertheless this sorrow is holy sorrow
for through it all the people have been
as one and have turned to the Almighty
for succor and strength.
When I read in this mornings paper
how the Finnish flag had been raised
for the last time and then lowered as
the Finnish troops marched out of
Viipuri, I cried, and now the red flag
waves there, as it does il nearby

'Turku was bombed 1872 times. Those
