Asia (magazine)
''Asia'' was a popular American magazine in the 1920s and 1930s that featured reporting about Asia and its people, including the Far East, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East. From 1934 to 1946, it was edited by Richard Walsh, with extensive contributions from his wife, Pearl S. Buck. Under their influence, the journal published many prominent Asian literary and political figures and American authorities. In 1946, after many years of financial trouble, it was merged into a new journal, ''United Nations World''.
==Origins and development==
''Asia'' magazine was established by the American Asiatic Association in 1898 as ''Journal of the American Asiatic Association''. An editorial in the ''Journal'' explained: "The ignorance of our people in regard to the countries of the Far East is unquestionably a serious obstacle to the legitimate extension of American influence. . 〔''Journal of the American Asiatic Association''. Asia: 17.1 (March 1917). (). 〕 In 1917 Willard Straight, who had been involved in promoting American trade and investment in Korea and China since the turn of the century, and his wife, Dorothy Payne Whitney Straight, bought the magazine and renamed it ''Asia''. and continued its publication as a popular journal of commerce and travel. The Straights also were co-founders of ''The New Republic'' magazine. 〔"Records of Asia Magazine" RG 4, pp. 207 208, "Papers of Pearl S. Buck," ()〕
When Willard Straight died of influenza in 1918, his widow took over publication of the magazine. She married Leonard K. Elmhirst in 1925. The editors included Louis D. Froelick and John Foord, and associate editors Gertrude Emerson and Marietta Neff. Elsie Weil, who joined the staff about 1920, was the long time managing editor. 〔Frank H. McIntosh painted many of the covers. 〔(Ask Art )〕
