Diary 1: October 1935 - January 1936
Item 28
Transcription: Right page My hesitation had been to avoid a kind of Empire demonstration but equally I wished to avoid either boorish manners or an anti-English demonstration before all the general members. So I smilingly passed a sprig. After luncheon R. came up to me & asked hoped I had not objected to his request. I hastened to assure him. He said he also was a Gael and our peoples had a common origin. That was charming; and I said that I myself had a Scottish Gaelic ancestor from Inverness. I still think it was as well that I should have let him see that the Irish Shamrock needed no patronage - especially in view of the impression he had created on me at two B.C. of N. meetings. A few months ago I had intimate conversations with Sir Arthur Willard Willert (lately of the Foreign Office) & found that he had a very high opinion of R. McD's abilities, as well as his character and he had worked with him much more closely, naturally, than my short acquaintance. After all, he had been P.M. of England three times! Left page The creator of "National Government" R.McD. acted with patriotic objective vigour in 1931, even against his old colleagues of the Labour Party. And the McD. who was a conscientious objector when war fever swept England possessed high moral courage.

Diary 1: October 1935 - January 1936
Item 27
Transcription: 16-11-1935 Ramsay MacDonald, twice Labour Prime Minister and until two months ago P.M. of the National Government, has been beaten in the English General Election. It is the end of his career unless he accepts a peerage. I met him a number of times at Geneva and he never impressed me in that setting at any rate. His speeches had a slight touch of condescension & apartness which was somewhat irritating to international audiences; and smacked too often more of generalities suggesting "wooliness" of the head! At Commonwealth meetings it was the same - the big father stuff & not very clear at that. One St. Patrick's Day I set at a luncheon party of about 40 diplomats. I was waring Shamrock & Ramsay was on the opposite side of the table. He spoke across to me, asking for a piece of shamrock. I pretended not to understand & raised my glass to him. Then Benes, directly opposite, said to me in guttural English, that MacDonald wanted to share my Shamrock.

Diary 1: October 1935 - January 1936
Item 26
Transcription: 14/11/35. Received a very nice note from Sir Arthur Willard Willert who is also sending a copy of his new book on European situation. The Willards stayed with us a few days in the Spring. Formerly the "Times" correspondent in Washington, he became, about ten years ago, Director of the Fress Section in the Foreign Office & we met them often in Geneva. A tall, good-looking & good-mannered fellow with liberal sympathies and an independent mind; he told me he was glad to leave the Diplomatic Service & regain his freedom to write. He goes now on a lecture tour in the U.S.A. where he will gather material for another book on that country. I shared W's views on his late chief, Sir John Simon, but was surprised to find him an admirer of Ramsay MacDonald. He is an "Interventionist": i.e. believes his country cannot isolate itself & that therefore they should play a greater part in Europe in preventing war, etc. Sir Samuel Hoare has, since I saw him (Willard Willert), taken some of the wind out of his sails!

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)

Dumitru Nistor prizonier de război în Japonia
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.
