EMMA GOLDMAN, IN CANADA, WILL TRY TO ENTER AMERICA
Deported "Red" Leader, Now British Subject, Planning Book.
Changed View on Marriage for Intellectual Companionship, She Says.
She told a reporter she would try to enter the United States, but only if her entry can be effected freely and openly, and that after a few months she will return to England to make her home there, having come to see friends and relatives, to gather material for a book and to lecture.
Special Dispatch to The Star. MONTREAL, October 20. - Emma Goldman, now Mrs. James Colton, landed here Monday from the Canadian Pacific liner Minnedosa. She now is a British subject through her marriage to James Colton, a Scottish coal miner employed in the mines of South Wales, and hopes to enter the United States under her English passport.
Mrs. Colton was deported from the United States seven years ago for advocating the overthrow of the American Government. It is her intention, if she can get back, to visit her home town, Rochester N. Y., where her relatives live.
The former Red leader was as full of enthusiasm and as eager to help settle the problems of mankind as ever. Her bobbed yellow hair shows a little gray, but she smiled brightly and her steel gray eyes gleamed as she talked with a reporter, explaining how she came to abandon the fight she had waged for 40 years against marriage.
Wed for Companionship. Asked why she married, Mrs. Col-ton replied:
"On the ground of intellectual companionship. I attacked the institution of marriage because the sanction of the State does not create a real marriage bond, which lies either in love or intellectual companionship."
She added that people "undergo legal marriage, not because it adds anything to the quality of the marriage union, but because it gives them greater freedom to do things. The State now interferes more than ever with private life, holding the individual by the throat so that no one escapes.
"After six years of unsettled life in Europe, I am barred from the two coutries I love best - the United States and Russia. I met Mr. Colton during a lecture tour in south Wales last year. Neither of us is in the twenties, but our identical interests and belief ripened into an intellectual companionship, which culminated in our marriage in London." Will Live in England. Mrs. Colton said she intends to remain here a few months and then return to England, where she will make her home. Her purpose in coming to Canada, she said, was to see her friends and relatives, to gather material for a book, and to lecture.
In response to a question as to whether she intends to try to get into the United States while on this side of the Atlantic, she replied, "Most decidedly," adding:
"But only if my entry can be effected freely and openly. If legal ways are found enabling me to visit the United States for three or six months, I should be delighted to do so, but that is up to my lawyer. Remember, I spent the 30 best years of my life in America and innumerable strings bind me to her.
"America is like a growing youth.
