Washington, Nov. 23- Emma Goldman is coming back to the U. $. A.
 'She famous Russian anarchist, deported in 1919 with Alexander Berkman, for obstructing the draft, went to Finland and then into Soviet Russia. She was not a communist. As an anarchist she believed in doing away with governments instead of heavy governmental regimentation. She left Russia in 1924, denouncing the communists, and expressed a wish to return to the United States. She often spoke of the Declaration of Independence as a fine anarchist document.
 Since 1924, she has made her. headquarters fin London and has travelled a great deal about Europe. She made one visit to Canada.
 Roger Baldwin, head of the Civil Liberties Union. took up her case in Washington and those guiding the New Deal ex- pressed no objection to her re- turn. The trend to the left today has been so fast that the speeches with which Emma Goldman used to electrify audi ences in opposing the draft and in picturing the plight of people crushed by the economic system now would sound just liberal" And Emma Goldman herself has become older and more placid.
 So permission has been given her to come back.
 NO CHANGE
 The visit of four Sound Mon- ey Men" at the White House last week has calmed a lot of con- servative fears about imitation. J. P. Morgan, Al Smith, Barny Baruch, Myron Taylor are sup posed to have planted some ideas in F. D. R.'s mind about a return to the old monetary sys- tenn.
 This, however, was not the case.
 Whatever may have been said to Roosevelt by these four gentIemen-and White House attaches say it was almost nOth. ing-they had no effect what ever. For better or worse ROOse. velt's monetary experimentation will continue. Also his other re- covery policies.
 The president is still swinging left and to his close friends has shown not the slightest inclina- tion of slowing up. Recently he has been more emphatic than ever that the banks and big bus- mess are not going to block the road to recovery. F. D. R. has a picturesque vocabulary and where vested interests are con- cerned, has not hesitated to use it.
 TEA CHATTER
 J. P. Morgan was represented as anxious to persuade Roose- welt to take advantage of the federal reserves power to buy in government bonds instead of is- suing greenbacks. That he even got a chance to express this idea Is doubtful. The president kept him engaged in pleasant tea table chatter.
 Roosevelt has not made up

 Millions of people have only re- gently learned that the federal re- serve banks are private corpora. tions. These banks have been op- erating since November 18th. 1914. and all this time we thought they were government institutions. We were supposed never to have a shortage of money under their sys- tenn and when can you or anyone else remember time when 1t was harder to obain money? We are actually starved for want of cash. We have all the materials in the world to do business but no way of exchanging them because of an in- sufficient supply of money. Credit is based on money and we are barred from obtaining that suffi- ciently to carry on the work of the world

Whats wrong? You say in effect that we lack knowledge on money and therefore we should continue ignorant and thus enable a group of legal crooks to continue to ex- ploit us. The writer believes that finance, stripped of it's legal ver- biage and hodge-podge as put out by the professional economists, is not as difficult as they would have 1t appear.
 The first step is to strip the pow CT Of the federal reserve banks and place that power back In to the hands of the government. This is what the president is trying to do with all his might but he can't do 1t single handed. He must have the support of the people. To ed- ucate people then Is of primary im- portance and the newspapers have got to enter the fight on the side of the people as against the private group who now control them.

To the Editor, the Democrat:
 The writer read with deep inter- est your editorial in Tuesdays pa- per entitled. "The Jobs Done."
 Insofar as the repeal of the 18th amendment is concerned the above title is appropriate but you injected the issue of sound mon- ey' and certainly the above title is paradox as the fight for an ad- equate money supply is still going on, as witness the wholesale resig- nations voluntary and involuntary from the treasury department.
 The writer agrees with your statement, 'In the first place how many of us really have a working knowledge of ''sound money" infia- ton, and the various other terms that we read and hear to-day ?" But it's never too late to start a program of education and who can better do this than the daily nsws-

HISTORY

After war between Indians and Englishmen broke out in 1875 with King Philip of Rhode Island the aggressor warfare quickly spread to the surrounding country and reached Connecticut. -Planta- tions such as were set up in Water bury were in defenseless condi- tion. Upon advice from the court at Hartford all people on planta- tiOns were warned to prepare to defend themselves and families. All isolated settlers or those with out means of defense were order ed to remove to safety.
 It was at this time the people, building the new town of Matta- tuck, lost heart and left their houses on Town Plot, crossed the river near Sled Haul brook, cross ed the meadows to Willow street and took the Waterbury path back to Pennington.
 A few stayed behind to gather in the crops of corn to convey it to place of safety.
 Wallingford was the nearest place of safety, as there were gar- rison houses there.

Forty to fifty million young trees will be planted in southern and central states on gullied and washed lands.

In New York
By PAUL HARRISON

New YOrk.-Life is becoming very complex in it's simplicity. A bushes man can hire an efficiency expert to manage his business, and an investment company to manage his profits. If he wants to put his money in bank, he can engage the services of an organization which guarantees to warn him well in advance in case the bank should fail. All the big executive has to do then, theoretically, is worry about how to get the slice out of his drive, or his daughter out of infatuation for the chauffeur. If necessary. specialists can be hired to take care of those problems too.
 In like manner, orators no longer have to write their speeches nor authors their articles or stor- ies. They can go to the Ghost Writers Bureau, present their ideas, and a check, and go home and wait for the manuscript. "We write it-you sign it," advertise Fred B. Baer and Henry F. Woods, the head ghosts. who have 75 free lance sub-ghosts to haunt the H. braries for research and to do the writing.
 Ghosts Many Talents
 This concern will handle any, thing from a love letter to a novel. The shortest job they ever did was an eleven-word inscription for a photograph which man was giv- ing to a friend. The bill for this was $12.5O . Mostly they write speeches for scientists who haveeto address laymen and want their technical stuff couched in compre- hensible, entertaining language. Other prominent men, frequently politicians, contract for speeches on subjects they know nothing
 Lots of people come in with story and scenario plots and want the writing done on speculation. Ghosts Baer and Woods will have nothing to do with such propoSi- tions. One. woman paid them $50 to do an article which she sold for $30. She was well pleased. though; just wanted 10 get her name in a magazine

 This age of specialization also has taken big burden off come dians, who no longer have to write their own jokes. Gag writers used to be clever fellows who'd sit around turning out perhaps one clever line a day. Now, though, they go at 1t methodically, with statfs of researchers and volumni- nous files of all the jokes ever told and printed. Al Schwartz and Irv- biggest of the Broadway gag-fac- tories, calling it "The House That Joke Built"
 The biggest collection in tho world, probably, is in the offices of United Artists. and is presided over by Hal Torne. He' has ap- of them filed and cross-filed so that given subject or situation at a nain- ute's notice. Say, for example, you want variation on the who-was- that-lady gag. All right-Series C, No. 857: Two cooks meet. One says, "Who was that ladle seen you with last night?" The other cook says, That was no ladle; that was my knife."
 Most of to-day's experts dispute the old theory that there are only seven fundamental jokes. They say there are fully twenty different kinds, and that all the wise-cracks ever written can be classified some where among them.
