ALS addressed to Mrs. Gage requesting that she write to the Japanese Consulate in Portland Oregon a recommendation letter for this history teacher to gain a spot in the second American Women High School Teacher’s Tour of Japan for the Fall 1937.

193757209Portland OR: Beatrice T. Stevens June 23 1937. Tall 8vo. 6.25 x 10.25 in. 4 pp unpaginated. ALS written entirely in blue ink cursive manuscript minor age toning some slight wear still VG from the library of Mrs. Roy S. Fern Gladys Small Gage 1893-1960 whose husband was a Lewiston Hardware merchant and later real estate developer and both were members of the Congregational Church. Fern Gage was an active organizer and member of both the Womenâ€™s International League for Peace and Freedom and the Fellowship of Reconciliation. This uncommon letter reveals the intense public relations campaign nourished and sustained by the Board of Tourist Industries of the Imperial Japanese Railways between Japan and America. It also shows the intense efforts by civic-minded women in the U.S. who were teachers professors and students along with those active in the Womenâ€™s International League for Peace & Freedom such as Fern Gage. Stevens 1894-1972 explains to Mrs. Gage that she has â€œalways had a keen yearning to go to the Orient.â€ She explains how she inaugurated the International Club at the Girlâ€™s Polytechnic organized International Banquets at Commerce High Clinton High School; led a group of girls to dine on â€œJapanese Sukiyaki at the Tokio House on Fourth Ave. a Chinese banquet at Hung Fan Low; a Jewish Kosher meal at Bâ€™nai Brith. . . as well as a Dixie dinner prepared by the mothers of one of our Colored members at the East Side Y.W.C.A. with local Negro leaders and musicians.â€ Furthermore she explains that she believes these events â€œof dining in the atmosphere of the nationality in question impresses upon the students as I think you will agree an idea of tolerance and aids in understanding more than any amount of merely reading.â€ Stevens would teach at Clinton High School until her retirement and although unable to sail to Japan in the Fall of 1937 did succeed in a European trip with teachers in 1949 to post-War Europe in 1949.

ALS letter home from American assistant minister/diplomat regarding the Sino-Japanese Shantung Negotiations

192127355China 1921. Very good condition. From "Bub" to brother Philip. Bub is apparently an American assistant or undersecretary to a United States Minister/diplomat based in Peking. He mentions the unusually hot summer and the efforts to make headway on the Negotiations "the political situation here goes from bad to worse" however there are very few ministers in town the rest are vacationing. He is tasked to 'write a report on the Sino Japanese Shantung Negotiations.' "and that is as complex as possible and they seem to be getting nowhere." He mentions meetings with Edwin Denby Secretary of the Navy as the Minister's special representative entertaining Major General Wright Mr. Warren and Du Wellington Koo the Chinese Minister to Washington then Foreign Minister and Finance Minister. "Du Wellington Koo has been entertained right and left and I have gone to most of the dinners for him - she is one of the prettiest Chinese I have seen." referring to his wife Hui-lan Oei The Sino-Japan Shantung Negotiations referred to the treaty between China and Japan settling the dispute over the Shantung Peninsula and its valuable resources including the Shantung Railroad and its connection to the Trans-Siberian Railway. Japan had taken over occupancy after pushing out Germany the original leaseholder. The dispute was mediated by the United States and ultimately the leasehold was returned to China. Bub's sister Jeannie wrote him from The Colony Club in New York City regarding Philip's and presumably Papa's trip to Italy. He also mentions the visit of a mutual friend Roger Gratwick and his own intention of returning to the States next Spring. An interesting insight into diplomatic negotiations. 2 pages 4 sides 8x10.5" written in pencil original fold marks. unknown
