Diary 1: October 1935 - January 1936
Item 59
Transcription: The British Delegation felt it & knew the situation & could only draw satisfaction that they were not alone "in the mud" the French were with them! Anthony Eden was carrying the burden of it, and it was not his policy. I felt embarrassed at adding to his worries. We talked for ¾ hour & I found him, as ever, most sympathetic & ready to help. He appreciated the gravity of the new Danzig problem. We discussed all the possibilities and a line of diplomatic action, prior to the January Council, is to be suggested by him to his Government. I aso talked with Auriol and Massigli. Eden approved wholeheartedly with my Berlin visit - the others were non-committal. Eden condoled with me on my job. I said it was nothing to his & he replied "I am getting it at the moment but you have it all the time." Krabbe speaking of his visit to Danzig said that he believed I had more united support from the Council than any previous H.C. Walters, mentioning the January agenda, said that if there were any hope of my accepting a re-appointment the entire Council would be "on its knees" to me. But allowing for friendly exaggeration I found 100% support in Geneva, which is encouraging. I aso talked with Rajchmann, the Polish Director

Item 60
Transcription: of the Health Section, and I got some views on Polish inner politics. R. is a small, dark man with some Jewish blood and a man of great intelligence and sincerity. The army, he says, will more and more dominate Polish policy and the army does not trust Germany. I put it to him that Beck's German policy was not going to be reversed but that it would be halted, would be developed no further, & that a better relationship with Western Powers would be sought for. He entirely agreed.

Diary 1: October 1935 - January 1936
Item 58
Transcription: He finally said I said I had exhausted my efforts and had been met with private threats and public insults; that Germany was now being involved and I had again & again warned his official Rep. in Danzig that that situation would arise now. The D. situation of course was not permanent. He said it was not in Germany's interests and he would see if he could get F. removed. I said that that would be a beginning but only a beginning. I refused a luncheon invitation with _____________ and lunched with Bewley instead. He was full of the usual conflicts with the Dept; & on the Italian situation violently pro-Italian, anti-League, anti-British & against De Valera's action in applying sanctions. But two years or so in Berlin has seen an extraordinary volte face in his former admiration for the Nazis. In Geneva for three days - and I never saw it in such a ferment. The Anglo-French proposals and especially the British participation had aroused indignation & a sense of outrage. Major Abraham, English Conservative, could only repeat at intervals "But I thought Baldwin was an honest man" Frank Walters, in a note asking me to lunch said "we have all got one in the solar plexis". James, the Daily Mail journalist, (violently anti sanctionist newspaper) said Europe was all saying "Perfidious Albion".

Diary 1: October 1935 - January 1936
Item 57
Transcription: Beck's doubts as to how far the Senate's actions were inspired by Berlin & my view that it was difficult if not impossible to regard Forster as taking his ideas "from the air" remain. After much persuasion from von Radowitz & a pressing request from von Neurath, I agreed to see the latter on my journey through Berlin. It was with hesitation & doubt I agreed to see a high German - especially as it might be regarded in some quarters as a counterbalance to the Warsaw visit. It was however definitely agreed to be strictly personal, and strictly secret. And as it was to and discuss the activity of a German official, Forster, in Danzig & might help to ease a serious complication I felt it could be justified before anyone. I called on the German Foreign Minister in the Wilhelmstrasse & talked for more than half an hour I had met him previously in Geneva at the Council & in Dufour Feronce's house. I described the situation in Danzig & said it was mainly due to the actions of Forster who claimed to act in the name of the ReichsPresident. Von N. said it was not German policy to raise Danzig now, that he had understood the Council's recommendations would be carried out, & that the difficulty about Forster was particularly he held official positions aso in the Reich.

Ratne bojne dopisnice - Feldpost iz Prvog svjetskog rata
22 Items
Description: Ratne bojne dopisnice (Feldpost) bile su najfunkcionalnije sredstvo komuniciranja vojnika sa porodicom tokom Prvog svjetskog rata. Većinom su bile cenzurisane i na njima se nalazio pečat vojne cenzure, regimentalni pečat i pečat vojne pošte. Na velikom broju dopisnica nalazila su se sva tri pečata, međutim, nerijetko se nalazio samo jedan ili dva. Poznato je da su vojnici bili strogo kažnjavani ukoliko su svjesno pisali bilo šta što otkriva vojne tajne. Pisati su mogli samo vojnici. Sve što bi napisali davalo bi se vojnom cenzoru da to pregleda i tek kad on odobri moglo se poslati porodici. Čitajući pisma, može se uvidjeti da su ona poprilično štura, te da su dobro pazili o svemu šta je napisano, upravo iz razloga da bi izbjegli probleme sa nadređenim. Feldpost sistem Austro-ugarske Monarhije, omogućavao je vojnicima da komuniciraju sa svojim najbližima. Sačuvane razglednice i pisma pružaju lični pogled na to kako su pojedini vojnici doživljavali sukobe. || Devet bojnih dopisnica (Feldpost)
