MR. F. B. RILEY.

TRIBUTE TO MISSING CORRESPONDENT.

Mr. Kenneth P. Kirkwood, M.A. (Instruction in Modern History. Fellow in Public Law, Columbin University, New York) writes to the Times:

May I say that Mr. F. B. Riley, your Special Correspondent in China, who has recently been re- ported missing, is in my opinion man whom your paper, and the world in general, can ill afford to lose? I have known him intimately, and I consider him one of the most able and talented men, and one of the most brilliant students of in- tornational polities I know.

I have been privileged to be his rooming neighbour at International House in New York during the past year. We had much in com- mon, both of us boing of an ago, both being from the Dominions (ne is Australian; I am Canadian); both having been through the wor (he was

prisoner of war in Germany most of the time); both holding Oxford denr;" both of us the having spent some years in Near East (he was in the Govern- ment educational service in Iraq for five years, during Iraq's infant years as a State; I was instructor in history at a collage in Smyrna, Turkey, during the first years of the Republic) both of us having had journalistic experience foreign correspondents (incidentally and coincidently one month last winter I had contributed an article to Foreign Affaire, London, while he had contributed FL brilliant article-not yet published, I think- to Foreign Affairs, U.S.A.); both of us Were close students of in-

as

| tornational relations. With these common bonds we were naturally close friends and discussed, many problems together. I remember

how keen Riley was to be sent to India for The Times, where he felt that the reforms of 1920 would have a far-reaching significance wid therefore a fascinating interest to him. But when, he was sent to Chinn he was greatly thrilled,' and most of us who knew him shared his engerness, recognizing his own good forinne and the excellence of the choice from his paper's point. of view.

Destined for India,

I must say that in our Interna- tional House-u student hostel accommodating 500 foreign students of as diverse race, nationality, and prejudices as the Assembly of the. League-Riley WRE esteemed by every one, and he had an influence for moderation and fairness, and reason over the most prejudiced. and bitter students. Even the Indians, drepite their unconcealed animosity towards Great Britain, and therefore towards many of the Britishers in the House, all had a big admiration and esteem, almost a love, for Riley. Both of us were nctive in organizing and carrying on, the international relations discus- sion group among the students of the House; and Riley was always the most helpful and netive and enthusiastic in the committees and the meetings

His historical and political know- ledge was in my opinion, excep tional and his insight into the more remoto significance and the less visible connexions and interrela- tigns of current events was alway? an amazement to me. I used to gasp. sometimes at his remarkable conclusions and connexions until he explained step by step the connect ing links in his inductions. "

LEAVING HONGKONG.

TWO OLD RESIDENTS GOING

HOME.

· MR. AND MRS. FOTHERGILL.

A connexion with the Colony ox- tending over a period of 23 years will be broken to-day with departure, on retirement, on board the s.s. Morca for Home, of Mr. and Mrs. A. Fothergill, of Torres Buildings, Kow. loon. Mr. Fothergill has for many years been associated with the Standard Oil Company in Hongkong. "Born at Penarth, Cardiff, Mr. Fothergill was trained as a master mariner. He first made his acquain tance with the China coast in July 1804, when he was the skipper of the Quantock, sailing to Japan with steel rails. Ho afterwards made frequent trips on the Asamia, and eventually, in 1902, he joined Mossrs. Butterfield and Swire in Hongkong. Ho served for four years on a number of C.N.C. ships, after which he joined the Standard Oil Company,

He was for six years in charge of the company's plant at Swatow, after which he returned to the Colony, and has been with the Hongkong staff ever since..

During the war, Mr. Fothergill served with the Police Reserve, and can claim the distinction of being one of the original members. He joined on Feb. 19, 1615 as a P. U. and when the Resorve was disbanded in 1910, he left with the rank of In spector. He is the possessor of a service medal.

Mrs. Fothergill was also 'closely as socinted with war work in connexion with which various local societies" were formed, for which she worked tuselishly and unsparingly.

A short time ago Mr. Fothergill was presented with a suitably in. Feribed gold watch by Mr. P. W Parker, the General Manager of the" Hongkong office of the company, on behalf of the Socony staff, as token of their respect and esteem on his retirement.

Of a ganiat and hearty disposition, Mr. Fothergill has many friends here, and he and his wife, (who of late has not been in the best of health) will be missed by many.

Prior to joining their two children at Home, Mr., and Mrs. Fothergill will make a stay in the South of France for the benefit of Mrs. Fother gill's hentl

The best wishes of their many triends will go with them in their retirement.
