AMERICANS ARE SEX MAD, SAYS HINDU TEACHER Tagore Scores U. S. Books j and Plays, Flays Materialism. FY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Serlpj-Hoira.ril Foreign Editor YOKOHAMA, June lI.—I Just Jja\e completed a fifteen-day ocean Jpvafre from the United States as a passenger of Rabindranath JjPagore, famous Hindu poet, philosoteacher and leader of India. Recluse though he made himself, jjpldom venturing outside his cabin pave at meal time or when no one else was on deck, I had the rarp opportunity to sit and listen to his views on variou' things, from American jazz to the future of the 300DOO 000 people of his terming fcountry. Tagore, it will be remembered, twus knighted by the British governtnerrt some years ago, but dropped Qje title. Sir, a, a protest against the bombing and killing of so many Cff his countrymen by British planes Bt Amritsar. £ , Looks Like Christ Picture* f He now conducts a school in Bengal teaching 'he folly of Mohammedans fighting Hindus and caste fkboolng caste Ten or a dozen of Iris book' have been translated into English and some of them particularly h:s Essays on Nationalism” And his poems, are well known in the United States. The great man of India resembles the Biblical pictures of Christ to a Remarkable degree. His features are patrician. His beard and hair are eo nearly white that they have the appearance of being ash blond. Both hair and beard are worn long and lor ordinary occasions he 'wears a flowing robe of tawny Colored wool, like British warm , (though the material is of Indian 'Weave) lined with the same color silk. Sockless feet arc encased in brown slippers. His eyes are almost hffzcl and are as gentle as a fawos save when he is riled; then they snap and flash fire. America Sex-Mad f Tagore thinks America has gone pex-mad and generally materialistic. How else, he asks, can Ameri s sexy music, dances, theaters, fiction, books and general public behavior be explained? Even serious subjects must be treated in a sexy way to be popular, he observes, and he cites Katherine Mayo's “Mother Indian” as an example. Many a better book, he says, has been written on India and the American public paid no attention whatever. But when Mayo's lurid book came out people who had never known or cared a rap about the country devoured it. It was about this time that the philosopher-poet's eyes flashed fire. He was almost angry, as nearly so as I ever saw him. He said he himself had been misquoted in the book; and made to denounce modern doctors and medicine when, as a matter of fact, he personally consults a modern doctor and takes his medicine when ill. Furthermore he is trying to have a school of medicine added to his institution. India's trouble. Tagore says, is lack of education which lack seems to be getting worse instead of better.
