A "JUAN IN AMERICA"
Mr. Eric Linklater was recently himself a "Juan in America" when he emulated another John and lost his clothes in the Wash. His personal experience of the floods at Pittsburg resulted in his losing all of his luggage in the confusion, and it must have been confusing indeed for a Scot of the Scots, Mr. Linklater having been born thirtyseven years ago in the Orkney Islands. His world travels—which included Pittsburg—have led him to believe India to be the sanest country in the East. China and Japan he found riddled with suspicion and intrigue. On India he should speak with some nuthority, for before "Juan in America" made him world-famous, he was for a while assistant editor of the "Times of Bombay," previous to his taking the post of assistant professor of English Literature at Aberdeen University."
