Note: G. & I. remain in C'tee but withdraw their ships from the control system.  Right page   25/6.   "Times" refers to the "precarious" situation. I think it is worse than at any time since the Spanish war began.

Transcription: Right page   A splendid type of American & if Roosevelt has more like him a new era may be coming - I'm sure it is - for USA.   As to the League Grady says when Borah & Johnson die as they soon will the League question can be looked at in to proper relationship without the "hang-over" from old controversies".   Mrs Grady, Californian Spanish American is a marvel - her flow of light & lavish flattery is superb.   This past two or three weeks we have average about four parties a day.  Appalling.  Left page   18/6   A letter from CB Wareing, "Daily Telegraph" man in Berlin, who had just been in Danzig.  In conversation with Boettcher the latter said I had had in my house a man who wd, in any other country have been shot as a traitor (Rauschnig, his late chief).  Wareing said that was not uncommon in Germany B. flared & flushed; said Germy had been insulted & left him.  W's comment was "poor idiot" Dear Mr. Wareing,     I was interested and pleased to get a  letter from you. I shall always follow events there with interest but thank goodness my interest is now of a personal and not official character; that makesit all the more pleasant to hear news and gossip.     Poor B. I used to describe him to myself after an interview as a fine piece of timber, the head especially being well seasoned; alas, there is scarcely a spark of political intelligence. It was one of the minor tragedies of G. who had a policy which he had to pursue, but which might even have been done better from his own and the German point of view if he had had an intelligent adviser.     Did I ever tell you I had a very tempting offer from a firm of English publishers for the story as a book? Naturally it could not be done, but the place provides the material not only for a spot of high politics, but also for much in the way of character study and humour.  B. with his solemn stupidity would definitely come under the last category.

Germany, especially, finds it hard not only to find the cash but even the minerals to buy, -British economic power.  But 1/6 of England's mineral imports came from Bilbao!   Nich. M. Butler in his speech last night, expressed the view that the American people were ahead of their Govmt. in support of intl collaboration.  He made reference to the time when the ratification of the Versailles Treaty was under discussion in Washington (involving the L/N) & said he could not disclose the real facts which were known only to the then French ambassador (Jusser - t), Senator Hitchcock & himself.   Subsequently from Malcolm Davis I learned that there had actually been  Right page   agreement in the U.S. Senate on a formula of ratification; that the British & French Governments were in agreement; and that when it came to Wilson he refused. Davis said Wilson was annoyed by the direct relations between Jusserand & the Senate.  I said: "That means that Wilson himself vetoed the ratification?"  & D. said "In effect".   An interesting historical fact.  But I dont see why all the secrecy at this stage. 18/6.  Grady, American Member of the Economic and Raw Materials Ctees, is two generations from Ireland - all four grandparents were Irish-born.   - Mc Grady, leader of the U.S. Delegation to the I.

Roosevelt.

Transcription: Left page     Hitler recently told a South African Minister that he had no ambitions in South West or East Africa; he wanted the Cameroons back.  This involves France & Belgium & only a smallish slice of it fell to England. Not very important strategically.   As for England withdrawing more &  more from Europe, accepting the west coast & the mediterranean I only hope it would not really provoke war.  I still could not see a major war in Europe which wd not involve all except for a time the smaller fringe   Jacklyn reports on the English  contempt for the Italians as a military or naval factor & disagrees with them.  The new discipline has not yet been really tested nor the difference which the air arm my make   Poor infantry material may be first class air material.  Right page     15/06/1937 As President of the International Club I was chairman last night at a dinner of about 250 ^people in honour of Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University, & renowned American publicist on Internatl affairs.  N.M.B. is 75 but very spry: friendly to League and advocate of U.S.A. cooperation. Pleasant and sensible in private conversation and an impressive speaker. Has to be treated as a minor Royalty, & is surrounded with adulation.  It is important to note he is a chairman of the C'tee for the Carnegie Peace Foundation controlling large funds.   The stuff in his speech was not very exciting, but he sounded a note of restrained optimism.  Told me he called his C'tee mtg. for Geneva this year as a small help in times of depression.   Lunched with him & his friends at Avenol's today, acting as second host.  They included Count Carlo Sforza, Italian foreign Minister before Mussolini's advent & now living in Paris, JA Spender, Count Paul Teleki (Hungary); E. von Prittwitz und Gaffron (2nd string in the direction of the German subsidized theatres).  Unden, and others.  Spender old & weary. Some live Frenchmen. & Malcolm Davis the Paris Director.

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)

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.
