Travels in Germany,

Travels in Germany,

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.

Russian notes

Russian notes

Notes, addresses and interviews related to the Soviet Union, mostly in French. At the start of the notebook there are notes including a reference and instructions to go to Kharkoff from Samuel N. Harper, a Russia expert who had returned from USSR in late October 1932 and who met Sir Bernard Pares and Jones at an RIIA meeting on December 14, 1932. It is believed that the notes were immediately after this meeting. The remainder of the notebook dates from July 1933 and was written in Paris. According to Ray Gamache this diary notebook is actually a very important one in that it establishes with documentation who persuaded Jones to undertake his 1933 trips to Germany and the Soviet Union for his newspaper series, "A Welshman Looks at Europe."
