Emily Morgan Writes From

Miss Emily Morgan, who for many years was superintendent of the Maynard Columbus Hospital, and who was also a nurse at Point Barrow, writes to her Nome friends from New Zealand. he following is taken from one of her interesting letters.

God has been gracious to us, we have plenty. With our strikes and unrest, are we going to be willing to divide with those that are starving when the time comes to send food to them?

 There are good commercial reasons for establishing priority of invention, but the disputes in court leave the sociologlst cold. To him scientific discoveries and inventions are inevitable, given the right social environment Some years ago Prof William F Ogburn compiled list of 148 major scientific discoveries and inventions which had been made simul- taneously and independently. Thus Newton and Leibniz developed calculus about the same time Darwin and Wal lace independently reached the con- clusion that natural selection was an important factor in evolution. Adams and Leverrier both predicted the exist ence of the planet Neptune.
 All this means that genius is more common than the books on discovery and invention concede. It is only when he is subject to the right social pressure that the sgenius" streaks meteorically across the .technologic sky. Once upon time the Arabs overrun much of Eu- rope, built great universities, developed astronomy, chemistry and mathematics and took a. bath every day, and this. when the contemporaneous British were half savages who could not solve the. problems in Euclid and to whom a bath was historic event Now the Arabs are considered a techonologically back ward people and the northern barbarians have forged ahead
 There is probably just as much gen ius' among the Arabs as there ever was, but it has no present chance.

FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

Representatives of Protestant church. es in this country have asked the Gov ernment to use. it's influence to obtain legal provision for religious freedom in all nations, Associated Press dispatches reported recently
 In making this request, the Protestant leaders are urging the adoption of ba- sic American principle which is an ad- mitted fact in this country. The same cannot be said of many foreign countries where there exist relationships between religion and the state that would not be tolerated in the United States.
 It remains to be seen whether the end of the present struggle will result in the spread of complete religious liberty throughout the world While Americans think this would be distinct gain to the cause of religion everywhere, there is considerable doubt as to the realization of such a goal.-(Fairbanks News Miner)

thereby hangs funny tale.
Betty is to play the feminine leac
with Bing Crosby and Sonny Tufts
in Here Comes the WAVES.
There's little opportunity for imag-
ination in the costumes, as they
will be CT, but several were made
up and sent to Betty,s house fol
wardrobe fittings. Before Betty
could get at them, Doris tried one
on, surveyed herself in the mirror
and said. Now I know-that's s

Doris removed the studio uniform

her way to Hunter College, New
York, for training. Which proves

| among the french. Ihere are mo-
ments, however when the point is
| labored, which is not to the advan-
tage of Passage to Marseilles."
The script which was written by
Casey Robinson and Jack Moffitt
adheres rather strictly to the orig
inal story by James Norman Hall
and Charles Nordoff. 1t is the ac-
count of a group of escapes from
the French penal colony at Ca
yenne, men who have known the
most brutal variations of injustice
but whose love for the homeland
inspires them to fight for her liber-
alton. The theme is essentially
dark, but it has been lightened here
and there by the insertion of COM
edy and a moving romantic inter-
lude involving Michele Morgan.
And, as he did in "Casablanca, y
Director Michael Curtiz managed to
inject a pleasing, threnodic love
song which gives a poignant touch
that contrasts we'll with the saw
agery which breaks out now and
then.
Passage to Marseilles" owes much
of its interest to the intelligence
with which it has been cast, and to
the stress which has been laid on
character. 1t is rather a laxative
affair, but the talk is better than
that in many another picture you
have seen lately. Moreover, it is
handled pleasantly and illuminat-
ingly by such capable players as
Sydney Greenstreet, Claude Rains,
Philip Dorm, Peter LORE and Victor
Francen.
There is going contrast in the
group of characters which is domi-
mated, of course, by the fire-eating
editor, Bogart. GreenstreetIs role is
that of Maginot-minded major,
ruthless futilitarian of, the old
military school, with distinct lean
ings toward Fascism. He is neatly
counterpointed by Rains, a flying
officer of the first war, who cpl
tomizes the liberal spirit, the refusal
to be beaten which inspires the Free
French Army still to fight. The
same gallantry is to be found in
the ship captain played by Francen.
There is little of humor in Pass
age to Marseilles," that little pro-
vided chiefly by LORE, who creates
a convincing portrait of little man
who has lived by his wits, one in
whose philosophy the art of picking
pockets is comparable in it's dex-
terity to the playing of great music.
He is quite an amusing addition to
the gallery on the Earle's screen as
is George Tobias in the role of
French peasant who seethes with

joy at the prospect of killing Ger
mans when he gets home.
The action of the picture is con-
cerned principally with the escape
of the group from the penal colony!
a residential place which can kill
men, or drive them mad, but which
is unable to kill their loyalty to
France. From the jungle, where it
dawdles for some time. the story
moves to the deck of a tramp
freighter which picks the men up
at sea. There, the plausible story
which the rescued group tells is uni
versally disbelieved. They are recog-
nized as convicts and Bogart is
recognized as their leader. The
drama is concerned with whether
they shall be turned over to the po-
lice, as the loud-mouthed Army
major insists, or whether they shall
join the Free French fighting from
England, as the World War flyer
and the ship captain will have it.
There is quite a prelude of de-
bate before the point finally is set
tied in a passage at arms in which
the Army major seizes control of the
ship only to have it wrested from
him by the willy Bogart and his as
sociateS.
The contest is savage one, in
the best tradition of Bogart pic
lures, but it is considerably less so
than the climatic battle in which
the dilapidated steamer is attacked
by German bomber. Director
Curtiz has made a dramatic thing
of this interlude, one which is COM
pletely dominated by Bogart who
comes at last to the conclusion that
he will fight with the sword until
France is free and he can go back
to his editorial pen.
1t is apparent that Warmers had
in mind making another Casa
blanca" in the new Bogart vehicle.
They did not succeed, although
their failure could have been much
worse than it is

and does both very we'll. Otherwise
the program offers LYDIA Sue, the
prettiest of acrobatic dancers, and
Cordyn and Sawyer, femme COM
edy pair who have fine rowdy time
