The death of Mr. C. P. Howland, killed by a
motor-car at Newhaven, Connecticut, on Saturday after the Harvard. Yale match, is a melancholy reminder Of a recent con- versation. I was talking some months ago to Sir Arthur Salter of Mr. Raymond Fosdick (for a brief period Assistant-Secretary-General of the League of Nations), who was bereft of his wife and two children in a single day. "Yes," Salter said, "of the four men I know .best in America something tragic has -happened to three in the last year. Dwight Morrow died suddenly, Roland Boyden (at one time American observer on the Reparation Commission) died suddenly. Now, there is this blow to Fosdick. That leaves only Howland." For all I know Sir Arthur Salter,. who is in. the .United States, may have been in Newhaven when the fatal accident to Mr. Howland, who was for some years chairman of the Greek, Refugees Settlement Commission—happened.
