WILL RETURN
LINDSAY ON AUSTRALIA
VANCOUVER, lath August. "I am ,Anstralian-b6rn in. the second generation, and I am not forsaking my native' land," said Norman Lindsay, .when, he arrived in Vancouver.
. Australia - has not caught up • with some ' other parts ,of the. world. . She has been precipitated into consideration -of world problems, cultural and economic, with a suddenness which'has left her somewhat confused," said Mr. Lindsay, who smilingly denied that this opinion was fostered by the fact that the Australian Government had banned his latest novel.
"Certainly, I am going back," interrupted Mrs.. Lindsay during the interview with her husband, who promptly .exclaimed;" Then, most certainly we are going back. A backward bureaucracy is"the. way I would describe Australian rulers to-day. We "'are a bit isolated, and the situation is the result of geography as much as anything else," he added, saying that New York was to-day the centre of world intellectual interest for himself. : '
"I think Sinclair Lewis is the greatest novelist since Dickens."
