Advocate at Paris & Permanent Delegate of France in Geneva - ex.Minister ex-President du Conseil. He does not  stand high in my esteem - a bit too fluent, a suspicion of insincerity - I don't quite know. A poor successor to the  shabby-looking (those cigarette ashes!) but brilliant Briand.   R A Butler, Cranborne's successor as Under Sec of State for F.A., represents G. B. a youngish man, new to the job he seemed slightly "lost" when I first met him at Overol's Council luncheon Walters fears he is "a small edition of Simon", but I suspend judgement.

Young looking Fitzmaurice, assistant Legal Adviser, & Makins, tall, gauntish and a young man with braun & character.   Litvinoff, fat face & beary lips but a goodish pair of eyes, speaks his own brand of English. He puts up with  a lot, for the repres. of a great Power, as well as giving plent of trouble. Somebody referred to him the other day as "the last loyal member of the League" & as "the Lord Cecil of today."

Transcription: yesterday that he thought it was a fact, important enough in itself, to retain the Prime Minister in office. He also said that he and others, including Eden, had influenced the Prime Minister from within ministerial ranks in a way that would have been almost impossible if they were in open opposition, and  that I believe to be true, although to what degree it is hard to say.   While the Prime Minister and the Government have gained ground recently, the Opposition has certainly lost ground. There is a great deal of division in the rank and file of the Party over the question of unity of Government opposition on one platform. Sir Stafford Cripps, one of the more advanced but also one of the abler leaders of the Labour Party, has been expelled for advocating unity, and although his expulsion was voted by all but two members of the Labour Party Executive, this by no means represents the state of things in the Party generally, and it has weakened its reputation as well as its position. It is probably this fact that has persuaded some members of the Government, like Sir Kingsley Wood, that it would be a good moment for a general election, but the Prime Minister is so far against it.   The uncertainty in international developments is still hampering trade, though conditions have improved somewhat since the Reichstag speech, and there seems to be general agreement that there would be a rapid improvement with any real lessening of tension. They now await Mussolini's next word, but here again there is a rising feeling that it is time to assume the initiative wherever possible and not to allow the ups and downs to be governed by speeches in Berlin or Rome. Yours sincerely,  signed   HR Cummings This note from Cummings coincides with & summarises most of my own impressions.

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.
