"In the death of Sir John Willi'
son, Canada has lost one of her fore-

Hearst, former Premier of Ontario,
who was one of his most intimate
friends. "He was a great lover of
the British Empire, with unbounded
faith in its future and its influence
for good in the world. He was a
man with the highest ideals and a
keen sense of his duty as a citieen.
His greet talents were devoted un-
reservedly and unselfishly to the ad-

He was personally ono of the most
charming of men, a true friend, a
delightful companion, a courteous,
and considerate business associate.
"A patriotic Britiener, a refilled
gentleinan, honored and loved by all
who knew him has passed away."
