Music and Bombs

1920

Music and the making of bombs do not go together, and the man who is radically against his government has no music in his soul, asserts the New York Mail. These facts are both evident, say reports of those who have investigated the homes of "suspects" for the Government.

"No musical instrument, not so much as a harmonica, has ever been found in a home that was raided by Government authorities in connection with Bolshevism," says M. M. Roemer, member of a music goods sales corporation.

Emma Goldman Misses United States

1920--

Deported Anarchist Finds America Is Better Land Than Russia

The "dear old U. S. A." is much to be preferred to "Free Russia," according to Emma Goldman, deported anarchist.

A letter to Ben L. Reitman, ex-anarchist, from Miss Goldman, says she has found Russia different from what she expected.

"I miss America," she wrote. "It is very difficult to acclimatize one's self in a new country, and Russia is not a place where one may hope to take root easily."

Miss Goldman was deported on the "Soviet Ark" Buford.
