Transcription: Left page   November 1st 1941 Some little time ago I appear to have been able, through my friendship with President Santos of Colombia, in obtaining precious visas for an Austrian named Ernst Grünwald and his wife who are in a civilian camp in Switzerland; he is a man of 43 apparently tainted with some semitic blood and thereby a victim of the new civilization promised to Europe. He is a tall good-looking fellow and I should say of excellent character and qualifications in his trade as a textile expert. Now he comes back to me asking if I could not do the same thing for his father and mother and his father and mother-in- law living in wretchedness material and spiritual misery in Vienna. He says he gets the most imploring letters full of bitter tears from them and he has a most pathetic confidence that a word from me will obtain freedom for them. When I eventually consented to support his appeal to Colombia (necessarily in a completely personal way) the poor devil broke down with tears and sobs of gratitude and perhaps vain hopes, kissing my hand unexpectedly. Personal contact of this kind with some of the misery spread through Europe by nazi persecution, promise of that new civilization under the master race, inclines one to lose the balance of judgement and perspective on the problem of the future.  Right page   Vansittart "Black Record" recently came into my hands. It is a fierce pamphlet in which Germany is indited in the role of the butcher bird of Europe. It is so single-mindedly, so violently crusading against the majority of the German people of whom he regards nazism merely as the latest manifestation of a long history that it seems a strange product for the former diplomatic Chief in Great Britain. There were many things in it with which I agreed, but it seemed nearly too much. The future of Europe, alas, cannot be considered without taking a great deal of it into account. His view on the German "mädchenbund" and the quotation of one of their marching songs which begins "Christ was but a jewish swine, etc. etc." and his remarks on the feminine prussian ferocity (? feminine ferocity), reminded me of that charming little blonde who became Greiser's second wife when he had discarded the wife and family belonging to his earlier social station. He was a great chasseur and invited me to accompany him shooting buck in the Danzig forest. Boettcher, that timber-headed lout came also and our three wives. It was a pleasant excursion in the autumn woods and eventually a buck crossing a glade  Note   to be finished by hand please Melle  ... could not bring herself to type the rest - the living disembowelled animal the vomiting Böttcher, the jeering blonde

Transcription: Left page   There is no real parallel between the history and facts of the British Commonwealth of Nations and the proposed British-American Commonwealth. If the union between the British Commonwealth and the United States is, as I fear, impracticable, I wonder if we shall not see Anglo-American cooperation best served by the re-creation of a machine not unlike the League. Beyond doubt I have been conscious of the decay and failure of the League and of the public disrepute into which it fell in recent years, but I venture to believe that its revival with some important changes, but with many things unchanged, will be found to give us the best promise of fifty years' peace. It will depend largely on America, on a people who will not have really suffered in the war. One thing has long been clear to me however - that the international community needs the policeman behind the law and the court of justice, as much as he was and is needed in the national community. There was a statement in your book which I questioned. It is at the tope of page 172 where you say it is unlikely either Britain nor America would agree to participate in any League or Confederation with the States of Europe until the latter put their own house in order. What I said earlier in this note will show you that I think there would be less difficulty in persuading the British and American peoples to join a League than to make a still greater sacrifice of sovereignty as between themselves. For the other aspect of it, I think you must agree that the responsibility of reorganizing Europe cannot be left to the goodwill of about thirty states, nearly all of which have been overrun and conquered or will be. This war has surely been a very clear lesson that what happens in Europe is of absolutely vital concern even to non-continental states. The United States spent twenty years washing their hands of European affairs and the direct consequence is that they may now be said to be well on the way to full war. With modifications, the same is true of Great Britain; a British businessman could talk of Czechoslovakia as a far off country of which his people knew nothing. Looking to the future there is another angle which has been put to me - that of the non-German european states. A simple British-American Commonwealth, it is suggested, might cause eventually a gradual reaction of the densely populated continent to the London-Washington supremacy, a supremacy institutionally divers and geographically too excentric to be accepted by Europe, in the long run as a spontaneous offspring of its own labours and, so to speak, as an inevitable historic necessity. Such a reaction might be the prelude to inter-continental wars.  Right page   To sum up, I think in spite of their common fear and dislike of commitments in Europe, the British and American peoples would really be asked for more sacrifice and more comprehension and toleration and wisdom in creating a British-American Commonwealth than they would be asked necessary to make successful an organization like the League. The Commonwealth hurdles are higher and more frequent than those of an effective League. Such an organization would, I am beginning to be convinced, give more promise of stability and be more likely to achieve real results than the great dream of an Anglo-American Union. Anglo-American collaboration in a new Society of Nations, even with the direction and control and sacrifice which responsibility would involve, would contain less dangers of reaction and dissension than a direct London-Washington attempt to unify foreign policy, the common control of naval, military power, the pooling of economic resources and territorial government. It may interest you to see, perhaps more coherent than mine, a short note which I enclose by one of my colleagues after he had read your book. I have written freely and as a private individual. We are far from the end yet and I may well be proved to have been short-sighted on this general issue. In any case we here are trying, with many difficulties, to hold on. I long for the lakes and rivers of Connemara where I have a little house not far from your Lough Inagh and where my "deserted" wife and children are living. With best wishes, Yours sincerely,
