HERMAN, GOLDMAN SAY THEY PLAN 70
 RETURN T0 STATES
Will Save America Deported BOIsheviSts
 Declare

Hango, Finland, Friday, Jan. 1G.- The United States army transport Buford, having on board 249 radicals deported from America arrived here at 3 o'clock this afternoon.
 Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman, who have been considered the leaders of the deportees have declared they will not remain in Russia, but will "return to America to save it."
 The "reds" on board the Buford will be taken to the Russian frontier by United States labor bureau and immigration officials.
 After the Buford had been docked Berkman and Miss Goldman led a procession of radicals down the gangplank. A large number of per- sons assembled on the wharf, gazing curiously at the landing. The "reds" made up motley throng, their faces being full of curiosity as to what their future might be, while there were traces of anxiety lest they might be attacked after they had i>AN e'iS PiOlcNlloil Ol IHeIT lans. Finnish authorities will look after the safety of the deportees.
 After they had landed, Berkman, and Miss Goldman talked willingly with newspaper men.
 Do you want to overthrow the American government Miss Gold man was asked.
 You need a new government" she answered. "and l hope the election will provide it."
 It is her intention to return to America as soon as possible. She asserts she became an American citi- ben by virtue of her marriage of Jacob kersner at Rochester, N. Y in 1887 and declared the court de- cree issued in 1909 cancellng Kers- ner's certificate of naturalization was illegal. Miss Goldman was di- vorced from Kersner in 1889 but she claims this did not alter her status as citizen of the United States.
 Can't Suppress It.
 As Nietzche said: the test of love is the power of endurance.," She con. tinued. "That is what will be my lot until 1 return to America I will not forsage Americans"
 Asked what her plans were, Miss Goldman said:
 Il shall not impose my advice upon the Russian government, but shall remain affiliated with the bolshe- wiki. l hold my deportation was an injustice. We wefe-hett given chance to prepare for it." She drew a sharp distinction between bolshe- vism as it is known in Americp and Germany and as it is practiced in Russia and explained the signi- ficance of world bolshevism or anar- chy. She asserted it was nearly 200 years old and meant approximately a brotherhood which disapproves of all governments and demands equality among all citibens and a division of all clothing, supplies and products She avaded making any reply when objections were raised to this pro- gram.
 "Bolshevism of any kind not the American or German sort" she said. "can never be suppressed"
 Miss Goldman complained because she was compelled to eat all meals in the Buford's dining room where she was "an object for all eyes" in- stead of with her comrades. She added that she was obliged to waive her objections" so as to protect two girls, one of whom was taken to America as a baby and has no friends in Russia, while the other has but two friends in Russia, but their whereabouts are unknown"
 Berkman is under contract to write for an American monthly pub lication a series of article about former American prison wardens, among them Thomas Mott Osborne. He will also write a number of Rus sian sketches, he said. Asked if the reds" would labor or would confine their activities to politics, Berkman replied they would be employed in mines but "would participate in political matter"
 Two Ways to Enter.
 Finnish authorities have informed the soviet government of Russia of the plan to send Alexander Berk man, Emma Goldman and their com rades across the border, but no reply has as yet been received from theI bolsheviki. The Finnish commission requested the bolshevik troops cease firing when the party makes its ap- pearance.
 The Russian deported from Amer lca Will pc pIaceu on DoaEu Iocheu cars and taken to Terijoki, about two miles from the frontier accompanied by a. Finnish military guard and of American marines.
 There are two ways of entering soviet Russia. The first is across a bridge near Terijoki, where the bol- shevik and Finnish lines are drawn along the banks of little river. The other is further north towards Raul tu, where the respective lines are
