Diary 6: September 1938 - March 1939
Item 30
Transcription: [Page two] 2 have it already Cambridges will negotiate the change—"within reasonable time." Now it remains to thank you very warmly for your kind thought in letting me have the volume—it deserves to be called a volume—on Nazism. I look forward, quite genuinely, to reading it, for my interest in International politics, especially certain phases of it and of European politics engages, I fear more of my time and thoughts, than do our home politics, which for the moment have grown so dull that I shall not further refer to them. As I am on the subject of 'literature' perhaps sometime or other you might be able to find out for me whether nos 21 to 66 (inclusive) of a propaganda publication called "Völkerbund" 3 given out in Geneva, are available in either English, French or German. I am sent it regularly by the Editors but these numbers are missing and with a finicky mind I should like to have my set complete. I know I could write direct—but some considerable time ago I got a hint that they would appreciate a subscription; but notwithstanding my failure to 'bite' the numbers (current) have come regularly ever since. Now I have objections to paying for what I can get for nothing, and I have strong objections to doing so for Nazi propaganda! As I am on the subject now of copying are there any League publications to be had for application? We are sorry that we saw so [Page two]

Diary 6: September 1938 - March 1939
Item 29
Transcription: P1/6 (2) ABERFOYLE, 19. Dec. 1938. ORWELL ROAD, RATHGAR. My dear Sean, This is to wish you, Elsie and the 'children' on Agnes behalf and on my own a very Happy Christmas and a Bright New Year. To wish any one the latter betrays a sudden access of optimism on my part. But still I do join with Agnes in wishing it to you both and to your family. After all sane mental and emotional repose is due to the five of you! As a reminder of Christmas—which at the present time is necessary—and of Ireland which in their case is quite unneces- sary—Agnes asked me to send Constantia Maxwell's book on Dublin to the Misses Lester. If they

Diary 6: September 1938 - March 1939
Item 28
Transcription: Sokoline says Stein, USSR ambass. in Rome, is certain that if he cannot get it otherwise the Duce will invade Tunisian territory in February. I can hardly think it possible. They wd leave to France Bizerta (rural base) & count on France giving way rather than fighting. He says military preparations are now on foot. Avenol, like myself, is sceptical as to this form of crisis although we all expect one in some form. France more united than few years, etc

Diary 6: September 1938 - March 1939
Item 27
Transcription: January 1939 A terrible year—historical upheavals—& no one can be optimistic about the next. Munich now clearly a ghastly failure. (See letter from John M O'Sullivan which echoes many of my own reflections). Chamberlain & Halifax, that disappointing man, on the way to Rome after the Italian preparations with cries of "Tunís, Nice, Corsica", & then Jibouti & Suez. Ch. has undertaken v-à-v. the French (Daladier's answer was "not an acre") not to be a mediator. The visit is more likely another blunder— I'm afraid I see Ch. as a weak obstinate & rather stupid person—"riding the tiger."

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)

160 Items
Description: Este un volum de jurnal din cele trei deţinute de Biblioteca Judeţeană Octavian Goga Cluj. || Dumitru Nistor, ţăran din satul Năsăud s-a născut în 1893. Visând din copilărie să călătorească şi să vadă ţări străine, în 1912, când vine vremea “număraşului” (recrutării) el cere să fie primit nu în miliţia ardeleană, unde erau recrutaţi de obicei românii, ci în marina austro-ungară. Terminând şcoala de marină, după o călătorie la Viena, este îmbarcat ca Geschützvormeister (“primul îndreptător de tun”) pe vasul SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth, cu destinaţia Asia. Prins de război în Marea Chinei, crucişătorul Kaiserin Elisabeth participă la câteva bătălii navale, pentru ca în 2 noiembrie 1914 să se hotărască scufundarea lui. Echipajul pierde şi lupta terestră, este luat prizonier de japonezi şi transportat în arhipelagul nipon. Timp de zece luni, ţăranul-marinar din Năsăud va fi prizonier într-o mănăstirea buddhistă din Himeji, iar apoi mutat într-un lagăr, construit special pentru prizonierii germani şi austrieci, la Aonogahara, nu departe de Kobe, unde va rămâne până la sfârşitul anului 1919.
