STRAIGHT
| On behalf of the members OF the Amer
I can Asiatic Association the Executive Com
1nittee have to record their sense OF the ir-
reparable loss the Association has sustained
by the untimely death Of its former Presi-
dent and present member of the COMMITTEE
Major Willard Straight Stricken il she
midst OF exactinR duties performed in the
service Of his country, Major Straight died
az he had lived, an earnest, devoted and
seif-sacrifcin9 patriot. His associates on
tins Committee, who have had ample oc-
casion to appraise his value as 4 fellow
worker in the task of broadening the rela-
tlons and deepening the sympathy betweea
the United States and the peoples Of East
ern Asia, can testify to the fact that in
this field of effort Willard Straight had no
peer. His preparation for the task, leading
up through experience in the consular and
diplomatic service TO responsible initiative
IN financial negotiations and constructive
enterprises of far-reaching import was
unique, equally in kind and degree II IS
the simple truth that no can fill the
place in the work of Asiatc development
and reconciiement which his death leaves
vacant Even in times like these there Is
an exceptionally tragic pathos about the
interruption of a career the brillaney OF
whose past achievements was merely the
earnest OF services still valuable 10
the immediate future of Asia and to the
resolute leader, wise counsellor and Z
well-beloved friend. His country has lost
distinguished representative of the best type
OF Amercanlsm. and an authoritative ex-
ponent of her obligations and her true
policy toward Asiatic millions with whom
her destiny is indissolubly bound. Those
who knew him most intimately have lost
the companionship of man of rare per
sonal charm. large-mnded toleration and
warm hearted impulsez whose generous ex-
preston the characteristic note Of a
nature of exceptional fineness of temper.
