  • Sir Horace Rumbold and Japan (1909-1913)
    SIR HORACE RUMBOLD AND JAPAN (1909-1913) Preface Sir Horace George Montagu Rumbold (1869-1941) was a distinguished British diplomat1. He was the Ambassador to Berlin between 1928 and 1933, and well-known as having warned the British Government of the danger of Hitler and National-socialism at the very early stages of the rise of Nazism. Harold Nicolson dedicated the first edition of Diplomacy to him, describing Rumbold as “an ideal diplomatist2.” Rumbold had a colorful diplomatic career. He was at the centre of intelligence and diplomatic activity as the Minister at Bern during the First World War, inaugurated the official relations between Britain and then newly resuscitated Poland after the war, and headed the British delegation at the reconvened Lausanne Conference in 1923. He was also an expert on evacuation; evacuated embassy for three times, in Berlin, Warsaw, and Constantinople. Less known is the fact that he had served as the Counsellor in the Tokyo Embassy from 1909 to 1913. He had been Chargé d’Affaires there three times and had a lot of occasions to talk with the Japanese foreign ministers and prime ministers. He also had an audience of Emperor Yoshihito, although it was rare for the Chargé d’Affaires to be offered such an occasion3. In those days Japan was eager to establish a foothold in 1 Martin Gilbert, Sir Horace Rumbold, Heinemann, 1973, and T. G.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) THE POWER BEHIND THE PRESS: ABSTRACT The thesis explores the question of whether the Johannesburg English newspapers, and particularly The Johannesburg Star, were manipulated or were independent during the volatile years leading up to the outbreak, of the Second Boer War. Historians and contemporaries alike have argued that the editorial policy of the Star was dictated by either the mining magnates of the Rand or the imperial officials. This study approaches the question by first surveying the history of English newspapers in the Transvaal. It follows the history of the press from the early diamond boom days in Kimberley in the 1870s, through the Barberton gold rush, and on to the founding and growth of the Johannesburg papers.

  • Jan Smuts and Piet Grobler During the Months of Storm and Stress (January to October 1899)'
    JOERNAAUJOURNAL GROBLER THE "YOUNG AFRIKANDERS": JAN SMUTS AND PIET GROBLER DURING THE MONTHS OF STORM AND STRESS (JANUARY TO OCTOBER 1899)' JCH Grobler2 INTRODUCTION In 1893 the First Volksraad of the Transvaal Republic (ZAR) decided that wherever possible, "zonen des lands" (sons of the soil) should receive preferential treatment as far as appointments in die civil service were concerned. At that time most government positions were in the hands of Dutch officials and the Afrikaner population felt marginalised. Attempts would have to be made in future to appoint young Afrikaners even if it meant that more capable Dutch officials had to be overlooked. 3 In May and June 1898 the civil service was recognised and a munber of new senior officials were named. In May the former State Secretary, Dr WJ Leyds, was appointed to the post of Minister Extraordinary in Europe, with Brussels as bis headquarters. In June, JC Smuts and PGW (Piet) Grobler took over as State Attorney and Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs respectively and Leyds was succeeded as State Secretary by the former President of the Orange Free State, FW Reitz. 4 In addition to this team of new officials, President Kruger had the active support and co-operation of the Free Staters, MT Steyn and Abraham Fischer {MEC), and the well-meaning Cape sYffipatbisers. All these men were to play an important role in determining the destiny of the Transvaal and indirectly, also of the Free State, in that fateful year of 1899. J I am indebted to my colleague, Bridget Theron. for her advice and assistance on this article and for proof-reading the draft.
