Notes on Gareth Jones's travels in Germany. Describes some of the individuals whom he met there including an interview with Albion Ross, a New York Times correspondent newly arrived in Berlin. It also includes an interview with Reinhard Haferkorn, identified in Jones's later newspaper article as "a German professor who had great experience of foreign travel". Even though the inside front cover is dated June 1, 1934, the material included in this diary notebook corresponds with Western Mail articles written in the first week of June 1933 so parts of the notebook may have been written at different times.
