SICK OF AMERICA
GREAT INDIAN POET OFF TO JAPAN WAS UNKINDLY TREATED (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) (United Service) BOS ANGELES, Saturday. The famous Indian poet and philosopher, Sir Rabindranath Tagore, left Los Angeles abruptly to-day for Japan after he had announced that he would remain here six weeks. He said poor health had prompted his departure. However, Mr. B. M. Tucker, the poet’s American secretary, declared that the United States immigration officials had treated Sir Rabindranath with contempt. “That was very trivial, though it was unpleasant,” said the poet. “I do not judge the American people by that one incident.” Mr. Tucker said America had not been kind to Sir Rabindranath, and he was sick of it.
