winning factor of the first importance......it follows that control of the available air power must be centralized and command must be exercised through air force channels.....the soldier must not expect or wish to exercise direct command over air striking forces.....experience in this war has proved beyond doubt that all military operations are in fact combined army/air operations.....success is bound to be conditioned by many factors, of which i consider the following are the most important:- (a) the degree of knowledge possessed by each service of the other's task, their capacity and their limitations. (b) the degree of mutual trust and honesty of motive which is reached by the two services. satisfactory relationships are not brought about by subscribing to them in theory or by giving formal approval to well meaning principles. for example, it is a fallacy to imagine that the principles of adjacent headquarters of itself will produce a proper standard in these things. they call for hard work and genuine effort on both sides, and a constant interchange of views. both services have something to contribute to joint problems....the army´s part begins with the acceptance of certain broad responsibilities towards the air force.....in order to produce the maximum support, air forces must be provided with adequate airfields. it is the duty of the military commander to ensure that their early provision is covered in his plans.....given adequate airfields, the efficient operation of air forces is dependent on good communications.....the army has certain responsibilities for the delivery of air force supplies and for the movement control of air force units.....the military commander who is concerned in the planning and conduct of air operations on his front must deal with one air commander and one only.....i regard this as a fundamental principle to which there should be no exceptions......the basic fundamentals: i give below those points in connection with the use of air power which in my opinion are fundamental and basic to success....it is necessary to win the air battle before embarking on the land battle. if this is not done, then operations on land will be conducted at a great disadvantage. it is not possible to conduct successful offensive operations on land against an enemy with a superior air force, other things being equal. the enemy´s air force must be subdued before the land offensive is launched......a retreating enemy offers the most favourable targets to air attack. the greater the pressure applied on the ground, the more disorganised the retreat, and the greater the opportunities for the air forces to inflict punishment......action by the air forces can turn retreat into rout and may be decisive. the moral effect of air action is very great and is out of proportion to the material damage inflicted. in the reverse direction, the sight and sound of our own air forces operating against the enemy have an equally satisfactory effect on our own troops. a combination of the two has a profound influence on the most important single factor in war - morale´ . the third, final section of the manuscript provides some notes on direct air support and montgomery presents over forty numbered passages of text, stating, in part, ´an army group in the field gets direct air support through the agency of a tactical air force....the tactical group consists of fighter type aircraft exclusively, all trained in air combat and ground attack. a proportion are specially equipped and trained for photographic and visual reconnaissance. the light/medium bomber group is equipped and trained for day and night operations.....the hq of the tactical air force is associated with and works with the hq of the army group.... two adjacent hq will provide the associated military and air commanders with the best opportunity of working together successfully....the relationship which is reached between the two services is of first importance....it follows that the aim must always be to live and work side by side, but there will frequently be a conflict of interests in the siting of hqs....to be effective, this control requires good telephone communications and, as a result, a location in the airfield area. at the same time, the associated military hq may require to be well up with the battle, and content to work by wireless. under these circumstances a too rigid insistence on maintaining adjacent hq will result in loss of efficiency, and it may be necessary to accept a split.....when the two hqs are apart, a representative staff section should normally be detached from one to remain with the other. ....under all circumstances the yardstick in this problem must be that of effective results.....the set-piece battle will usually involve the employment of air forces outside the tactical group resources.....the following are the important points in this type of operation....the military commander must decide at the outset whether he will wait for the weather or not.....he must obtain the best weather forecasts, and must make fool-proof arrangements for day to day or perhaps hour to hour postponement.....requests for immediate support cannot be foreseen in detail, but must be anticipated as far as possible in the pre-planned arrangements. when such requests arise they are urgent and speed of response is vital to good results.....the responsibility for staff duties on the army side connected with supporting air action must always rest with the general staff (operations and intelligence).....all staff officers should be competent to deal with the military responsibilities connected with air matters.....at present we have not reached that standard, and, in my opinion, to do so will require a reorientation of our basic training at all stages, so that supporting air action is taught and studied in the same way and with the same priorities as other operational subjects.....no commander can form an adequate appreciation of the potentialities of supporting air action without some knowledge of the characteristics of the different types of aircraft.....the principle by which the army should confine itself to stating the problem and the air forces decide the method is basically correct, but calls for a liberal interpretation if discussions of joint problems are to be brief and satisfactory, and if the overall results are to be the best possible.....air forces acting in direct support of armies cannot be expected to give of their best unless the following conditions are met - they must have a sound general knowledge of the army, its ways and its problems. they must be kept fully informed of the situation on the ground. they must be let into the plan early and must know the object to be attained in any particular operation. when asked by the army to attack a target, the information on that target must be as complete as possible. whenever possible they must be told of the results of their attacks as from the army´s angle. the army has a direct responsibilit for these things, and it is a vital one....at the lower levels, the responsibility rests with the alo, and at these levels the information is required for the benefit of the pilots who actually fly the aircraft. i regard the alo as a very important person.....in many cases they will be the only army officers with whom the majority of the pilots come into close contact......a regular exchange of officers will also increase the general knowledge of air matters throughout the army. commanders must recognise these facts and take the steps necessary to ensure that the alo and his business are given the attention they deserve.....reliable and timely information of enemy dispositions and movements is vital to the combined plan and to the conduct of operations. the resources of the tactical air force include a number of squadrons specially equipped and trained in visual and photographic reconnaissance. in addition, every aircraft which flies over the battle area is a potential source of information. the air is an important source, but only one of many sources from which the general enemy situation is built up.....the value of visual reconnaissance is increased beyond measure by good briefing. the key to success is to ensure that reconnaissance pilots know not only what information is required, but why....the value of air photographs to the army is dependent on good interpretation and efficient distribution.....it must be remembered that information about the enemy in the forefront of the battle is required most urgently by the forward military commanders. good communications and good arrangements for the rapid receipt and distribution of air information are essential....it is quite impossible to provide rigid rules by which targets can be defined precisely as suitable or unsuitable. the importance of the objective in relation to the operational plan and the suitability of the target will frequently conflict. in fact, there will always be a number of factors which can be assessed only by the joint commanders on the spot in the light of the prevailing conditions.....in many instances intelligence information is perforce limited to deduction and cannot be confirmed. target unsuitability can sometimes be overcome by increasing the effort. superficially this may appear uneconomical but, in fact, circumstances may make it the exact reverse.....the moral effect of air attack must never be overlooked. new weapons and new tactics will continue to increase the scope of air attack. in my opinion commanders and staffs of both services should understand these basic points so thoroughly that they become an automatic background to any target discussion. if decisions are taken on this basis, common sense and mutual confidence will produce sound results.....good bombline drill is an important factor in direct air support. the purpose of the bombline is to provide the air force with a safety line beyond which they are at liberty to attack any targets they may find....the bombline is for the benefit of the pilot in the aircraft. unless he gets the information everything else is to no purpose.....if the army puts the bombline too far ahead of its forward troops, the air forces will begin to lose faith in the system. the army may then have to pay the penalty of its own mistakes......the test comes in the mobile battle, when both the difficulties and the need for efficient drill are at their greatest.....one of the greatest difficulties confronting air forces in the battle area is to determine friend from foe. it is the army´s responsibility to give the maximum help to the air forces in this matter......statistics show that in relation to the number of missions flown in the battle area, the number of attacks on our own troops is small. all ranks must understand that certain risks are inevitable in close air support, and those risks are well worthwhile and readily accepted by the army in return for the assistance they get from the air. it should also be made clear that, in the main, accidents occur when the standard of drill in the agreed system is not good enough, and not because the system itself has been found wanting.......the capacity of air forces to support land operations is governed in a high degree by two factors - (a) the weather (b) the air situation. i have already referred to both these points as being fundamental. they are so important that they merit further reference. all commanders must have a very clear understanding of the weather limitations and how they must be dealt with in the planning of air operations. navigational aids provide the only means of reducing these limitations, and great progress has been made in the development and efficiency of these devices. already certain instruments enable strategic air forces to carry out blind bombing with as great, if not a greater, degree of accuracy than visual methods......the winning of the air battle, and with it the achievement of a favourable air situation, is at one and the same time the primary task of the air forces, and the greatest contribution they can make to the land battle. it is in fact a pre-requisite to military success.....it follows that land operations are likely to be influenced more and more by air action. i consider that inter-service relations and the effective integration of the work of the two services are matters of paramount importance now and in the future, and should receive the constant and close attention of all military commanders and staffs´ . some of montgomery´s pencil notes include instructions to the printer regarding font size etc., and the cover page is annotated ´ 3000 copies blue´ in his hand. a lengthy document of fascinating content. some age wear and a few pinholes to the upper left corners, about vg \n montgomery´s manuscript was written just a few months after operation market garden, an allied military operation of which he had been the overall architect and commander in september 1944. the general directed the entire operation and oversaw coordination between the ground and airborne elements."},"estimateMax":1500,"lotNumber":"1221","title":{"es":"montgomery b. l.: (1887-1976) montgomery on the importance of air support to being victorious in land battles"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/72598/lot/144377/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_militaria","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":1000,"soldPrice":1000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T06:00:48.096Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac1,000 -

d´eglantine: (1750-1794) french actor, dramatist, poet, and politician of the french revolution. a very rare and interesting manuscript by fabre d´eglantine, thirteen pages, being six small 4to and seven 8vo, 1793-94, in french. the manuscript being a large part of his work portrait de marat ( \u201cportrait of marat\u201d) which was published by maradan in january 1794, six months after the death of marat. two of the pages included in the present manuscript were not included in the final work published. fabre d'églantine, who was a friend of marat, paints an open portrait without reserves, observing at the beginning of his text that everyone wanted to speak about marat without having truly known him, and that partisanship distorted the portrait, stating ` il en est résulté, non pas un portrait, mais une défiguration complète\" (translation: \" the result was not a portrait, but a complete disfigurement .\"), further fabre d'eglantine focuses less on marat's political ideas than on his character, with its grandeur and also its weaknesses, speaking of his \"good nature, \" his \"modesty, \" and also \"his pride\", saying ` cet orgueil paraissant juste en était moins choquant; là commençait la vanité, de là s'ensuivaient quelques petits accès de fatuité, que j'appelle politique, puisqu'elle n'avait de rapport qu'à la patrie\u2026 . l'une des bases de son caractère était cette pudeur ineffaçable qu'engendrent et nourrissent toujours dans une âme honnête la simplicité, l'amour du vrai, le sentiment du beau et du bon; aussi rien ne l'indignait plus que l'impudeur, l'aspect de l'effronterie unie à la dissimulation. tantôt cela lui donnait des accès convulsifs, tantôt lui donnait dans le discours et jusque dans l'attitude une dignité mâle, une fixité grave, sous lesquelles sa petite stature disparaissait et qui en ont imposé plus d'une fois à ses effrénés antagonistes.´ (translation: \"this pride, appearing justified, was less shocking; vanity began there, and from it followed a few minor bouts of conceit, which i call political, since it had no relation other than to the fatherland\u2026 one of the foundations of his character was that indelible modesty which simplicity, the love of truth, and the feeling of beauty and goodness always engender and nourish in an honest soul; thus, nothing outraged him more than immodesty, the appearance of effrontery combined with dissimulation. sometimes this gave him convulsive fits, sometimes it gave him in speech and even in attitude a manly dignity, a grave fixity, under which his small stature disappeared and which impressed more than once his unbridled antagonists.\") fabre who knew marat intimately also discovers hidden parts of his personality, stating ` oui, marat était fortement sensible et marat était très faible. puisqu'il était naïf, sensible et faible, marat devait être crédule, et il l'était. il manquerait un trait essentiel au portrait de tout homme, si l'on ne parlait pas de ses petitesses. marat avait la sienne, et même fort plaisante dans un homme tel que lui, dans un homme dont la vivacité de mouvements, l'impétuosité du caractère, et la véracité tranchante, ne pouvait admettre aucune espèce de dissimulation. marat avait de la prétention au machiavélisme, cet homme dont le regard seul donnait à un œil exercé l'idée la plus claire de sa situation, cet homme dont le moindre acte de zèle, quoique vrai, prenait la couleur de l'air affairé, cet homme voulait qu'on le crût grand théoricien dans l'art de gouverner par la ruse et la cautèle.´ (translation: \"yes, marat was highly sensitive and very weak. since he was naive, sensitive, and weak, marat had to be credulous, and he was. an essential trait would be missing from the portrait of any man if one did not mention his pettiness. marat had his own, and even quite amusing in a man like him, in a man whose quickness of movement, impetuous character, and sharp truthfulness could not admit any kind of dissimulation. marat had machiavellian pretensions, this man whose mere glance gave a trained eye the clearest idea of \u200b\u200bhis situation, this man whose slightest act of zeal, though genuine, took on the appearance of a busy man, this man wanted to be believed a great theorist in the art of governing by cunning and caution.\" before concluding, fabre d´eglantine states ` marat, enfin, avait du génie, de l'esprit, de l'érudition et du goût , de grandes vertus, quelques défauts, mais point de vices. il fut patriote excellent, révolutionnaire intrépide. s'il est arrivé quelque mal par lui, la faute en est à ses ennemis et aux traîtres, nul n'a voulu plus que lui le salut et la prospérité de la patrie, peu lui ont rendu de plus grands services.  la postérité se souviendra religieusement de lui partout où l'amour de la liberté sera une passion.´ (translation: \"marat, finally, possessed genius, wit, erudition, and taste; great virtues, a few flaws, but no vices. he was an excellent patriot, a fearless revolutionary. if any harm came about because of him, the fault lies with his enemies and traitors; no one desired the salvation and prosperity of the nation more than he, few rendered it greater service. posterity will remember him reverently wherever the love of liberty is a passion\") an excellent manuscript content. g \n  \n one of the pages of the present manuscript which was not included in the final published version relates to charlotte corday, saying ` elle n'eut pas un seul moment de vraie dignité. elle paraissait néanmoins satisfaite de celle qu'elle croyait avoir. dans son entretien secret avec ses défenseurs, entretien qui eut lieu dans le petit cabinet attenant à la salle du tribunal et où les juges la renvoyaient selon les formes, elle dit à ses défenseurs, \"n'ai-je pas mis trop de hauteur dans mon air et dans mon maintien ? j'ai entendu dire à une femme, comme elle est fière ! ´ (translation: \u201c she did not display a single moment of true dignity. nevertheless, she seemed satisfied with what she believed she possessed. in her private meeting with her lawyers, a meeting that took place in the small room adjoining the courtroom, where the judges formally dismissed her, she said to them, \"haven't i been too haughty in my manner and bearing? i heard someone say to a woman, 'how proud she is! \"  \n   \n charlotte corday (1768-1793) corday was a figure of the french revolution who assinated jean-paul marat on 13th july 1793. corday was a sympathiser of the girondins, a moderate faction of french revolutionaries in opposition to the jacobins. she held marat responsible for the september massacres in 1792 and, believing that the revolution was in jeopardy from the more radical course the jacobins had taken, she decided to assassinate marat. corday obtained an audience with marat and fatally stabbed him with a knife while he was taking a medicinal bath. marat's assassination was memorialised in the painting the death of marat by jacques-louis david. she was immediately arrested and found guilty by the revolutionary tribunal four days after marat's death, and executed by the guillotine."},"estimateMax":9000,"lotNumber":"1328","title":{"es":"fabre d´eglantine:

bidder, a right which, it is whispered, has been constantly transmitted by means of payment from occupant to occupant, from commissioner to commissioner\u2026 such is the account that was presented to me of this matter. if you feel, as i do, citizen commissioner general, that you cannot avoid satisfying citizen catafago, who has indeed paid for this right of racabé, not by restoring to him, as he requests, the enjoyment of the house which you had to seize as you did to cut short the disputes, but by reimbursing him, in one way or another, what he paid for the acquisition of this right, that is to say a sum of 2,200 piastres, which should also be reimbursed to you by your successor or even by someone else to whom you should cede this right upon your departure from aleppo\u2026 please,

for having captured general cambronne at waterloo. an excellent, lengthy a.l.s., j halkett , by colonel james halkett, son of hugh halkett, twenty-eight pages (comprising seven bifolia), 8vo, farrance´s hotel, near eaton square (london), 29th october 1862, to william maynard gomm ( ´my dear sir william´ ). james halkett states that his father is no longer able to read or write and that he is therefore replying on his behalf ´as i got him to tell me the story of his life the winter i spent in hanover, & i then wrote down what he told me & can therefore repeat the story you ask about almost word for word as he gave it to me´ , continuing to provide gomm with ´a short sketch of my father´s proceedings & share in the glorious 18th june´ (the battle of waterloo), writing, in part, ´his brigade, composed of hanoverian landwehr, all untried troops, but partly officered & non-commissioned officered by the old king´s german legion, formed part of general clinton´s division. after marching all night the bivouacked on the field of waterloo. the division.....was soon brought into the alignment with its right resting on hougoumont. whilst effecting this change the french cavalry attacked my father´s brigade but they drew off on his forming en masse. at the time his first horse was killed, having both his hind legs shot away, the ball afterwards mowing down 8 men. his a.d.c. immediately dismounted & was shifting my father´s saddle on his horse when a shell fell near, wounded the man holding the horse & the horse scampered away. colonel dickson.....then caught a splendid english horse with new equipment & brought it to my father. at between 3 & 4 o/c in the afternoon general clinton sent for my father & gave him the duke´s orders to take whatever troops he liked & defend the garden & enclosures of hougoumont......he immediately ordered the salzgitter battalion to attack the french who were in the wood, the battalion did so, behaved very well, drove them out, & at the same time the skirmishers of the brigade, who were excellent marksmen, formed together &.......drove back, with much spirit, the french skirmishers from the different enclosures, & my father then reported the place as secured. when, after 6 o´clock, the duke gave orders for a general move in advance, my father placed himself at the head of the osnabruck battalion........he sent his brigade major to bring up the battalion.....but the order was never received for capt. saffe was killed whilst carrying the order......soon after the advance he fell in with old garde imperiale &......after driving them back he discovered the enemy´s artillery coming up out of a hollow way on his left, he ordered the skirmishers, supported by a company, to attack them.......about this time general chasse (who afterwards defended antwerp) galloped up to the front to see how matters were going on, & was full of admiration at the conduct of the troops.......shortly after this an officer of the duke´s staff galloped up & called out: \"well done, colonel halkett, by god this is splendid\". after a short pause he again advanced & under the heavy fire of the enemy´s artillery which had driven up on the left of the imperial guard, he attacked & took the guns.......whilst following the french guards he saw their general, accompanied by two officers, come to the front to try & bring them to a stand. my father immediately threw forward his skirmishers & dashing full gallop at the general threatened to cut him down. he surrendered & declared himself to be general cambronne......on leading his prisoner back, his horse, already wounded, received another shot & fell. with much difficulty he succeeded in getting him on his legs again when he discovered general cambronne running back to the french guards, he followed & caught him again, & seizing him by the aiguilette brought him back a prisoner & gave him over to a sergeant......with orders to conduit him to the duke of wellington......shortly after he had taken general cambronne his horse was again hit & had his fore legs shot off.......he was soon remounted on a french artillery horse which his men caught, but shortly after this third horse was shot under him. his men then shot a frenchman who was mounted on a fine english, grey, hussar horse, & brought him to my father who got a wet seat in the sheep´s skin which was satturated (sic) with the poor frenchman´s blood.......after the french guard had gone back, an officer belonging to them & who had been taken prisoner, informed my father that napoleon was amongst a large group of french officers & some french cavalry who were hovering about his brigade. he advanced his sharpshooters & these throwing some shot amongst them made them retire a short distance......my father then advanced on to the high road to genappe & there fell in with the advanced corps of the prussians & shook hands with general muffling. not seeing any red coats near him, he halted & remained for the night in some straggling houses.....when returning next morning to re-join his division he passed the guns which had been thrown into confusion......the brigade when marching to nivelle that morning was met by lord hill who highly complimented my father on its behaviour & marched at its head......when my father mentioned the gallant behaviour of the brigade to sir henry clinton, the general asked why this had not been mentioned the night before in order that he might have reported it to the duke.....with regard to cambronne´s \"mot sublime\" the only one my father heard was the one giving my father to understand that he surrendered, & it was pronounced in very good french! if anything ever was said about the guard dieing etc., it certainly was at a later hour when cambronne was safely lodged in our lines. my father was thrown together with the comte d´artois in heligoland & when in paris went to call on him. the future charles x....did not think his countrymen fought well at waterloo´ . halkett concludes his letter by writing of more social matters, but also makes a reference to the 50th anniversary of the battle of venta del pozo which had been fought on 23rd october 1812 during the peninsular war. a letter of wonderful content for its account of general halkett´s involvement in the battle of waterloo, and not least in connection with the often disputed circumstances of the surrender of cambronne to the british. together with a slim oblong 12mo envelope wrapper annotated to the front panel in the hand of one of william maynard gomm´s relatives, ´grass taken from the field of waterloo, when i went over it with uncle gomm , aunt har [riet] & miss howard vyse, july 23rd 1868´ . with three small black seals to the verso, two of which remain intact. the contents of the envelope have not been examined, although dried grass can be seen through an opening at one end where the third seal is broken. also including two other miscellaneous manuscript documents, one being a report upon the proposed sale of land by sir william gomm to the parish of rotherhithe (1850) and the other an extracted copy of the last will and testament of major general william henry cornwall (1799-1855) of cadogan place, chelsea. some light age wear and minor creasing, and halkett´s letter with small spindle holes to the upper left corner of each page. g to generally vg, 4 \n william maynard gomm (1784-1875) british field marshal who served as one of the duke of wellington´s most trusted staff during the peninsular war.  \n james halkett (1822-1870) british colonel with the coldstream guards who served in the crimean war and was aide-de-camp to sir william maynard gomm whien governor of mauritius 1842-47.  \n henry clinton (1771-1829) british lieutenant general who served during the napoleonic wars. at the battle of waterloo clinton led the 2nd division which wellington posted in reserve behind his right flank, and which included halkett´s 3rd hanoverian brigade. the 2nd division helped to defeat and pursue napoleon´s imperial guard at the end of the battle.  \n rowland hill (1772-1842) 1st viscount hill. british general who served in the napoleonic wars as a brigade, division and corps commander. at the battle of waterloo hill commanded the ii corps and led the charge of sir fredericl adam´s brigade against the imperial guard towards the end of the battle.  \n david hendrik chasse (1765-1849) dutch general who fought both for and against napoleon, and who commanded the third netherlands division that intervened at a crucial moment in the battle of waterloo. in 1830, during the belgian revolution, chasse bombarded the city of antwerp as commander of antwerp citadel.  \n karl freiherr von muffling (1775-1851) prussian generalfeldmarschall and military theorist who served as blucher´s liaison officer in wellington´s headquarters during the battle of waterloo and was one of the

wars. wounded at the battle of waterloo, the surrender of cambronne to the british has often been disputed.  \n at the conclusion of the battle of waterloo, cambronne was commanding the last of the old guard when, according to a journalist named rougement, the general declared ´la garde meurt ne se rend pas!´ (translation: ´the guard dies but does not surrender´) as a response to general colville´s call on him to surrender. other sources reported that cambronne issued a one-word reply, ´merde!´, to colville. the latter version of the reply became famous in its own right, becoming known as le mot de cambronne, and repeated in victor hugo´s account of waterloo in his novel les miserables . cambronne himself always denied both rougement´s account and the one-word response, arguing that he could not have said such a thing and remained alive. a series of letters to the times claimed that halkett captured cambronne, as confirmed in the present letter."},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"1352","title":{"es":"[waterloo battle of]: [halkett hugh]: (1783-1863) ´ well done, colonel halkett, by god this is

with an acknowledgement that the misery and suffering in russia described by nansen in his letter appeals to the sympathies of all peoples, remarking ´it is shocking to humanity that millions of men, women and children lack the food and the necessities which make life endurable´ , and continuing ´the governments and peoples whom we represent would be glad to cooperate, without thought of political, military or financial advantage, in any proposal which would relieve this situation in russia. it seems to us that such a commission as you propose would offer a practical means of achieving the beneficient results you have in view, and could not, either in its conception or its operation, be considered as having any other aim than the \"humanitarian purpose of saving life\".´

themselves, with the assistance, advice and supervision of your commission´ . the big four further explain ´subject to such supervision, the problem of distribution should be solely under the control

methods and the personnel by which their community is to be relieved. in no other circumstances could it be believed that the purpose of this relief was humanitarian, and not political, under no other

humanitarian and polymath, nobel peace prize winner 1922.   \n in the summer of 1913, nansen had travelled to vladivostok as part of a delegation investigating a possible trade route between western europe and the siberian interior. as a result of his experiences, the life and culture of the russian peoples aroused in nansen an interest and sympathy he would carry through to his later life.  on the outbreak of world war i in 1914, norway declared its neutrality, alongside sweden and denmark, and nansen was appointed as the president of the norwegian union of defence.  within a few months of the war's end in november 1918, a draft agreement had been accepted by the paris peace conference to create a league of nations. as a means of resolving disputes between nations by peaceful means. the foundation of the league at this time was providential as far as nansen was concerned, giving him a new outlet for his restless energy. he became president of the norwegian league of nations society, and although the scandinavian nations with their traditions of neutrality initially held themselves aloof, his advocacy helped to ensure that norway became a full member of the league in 1920, and he became one of its three delegates to the league's general assembly. in april 1920, at the league's request, nansen began organising the repatriation of around half a million prisoners of war, stranded in various parts of the world. of these, 300,000 were in russia which, gripped by revolution and civil war, had little interest in their fate.  nansen continued this work for a further two years until, in his final report to the assembly in 1922, he was able to state that 427,886 prisoners had been repatriated to around 30 different countries. the series of humanitarian initiatives undertaken by the international committee of the red cross, and headed by nansen, became known as the nansen mission.  the mobilisation effort began in august 1921 and the first programmes in russia began soon after, with the signing of an agreement of assistance between nansen and georgy chicherin, which provided aid to mitigate starvation in russia and ukraine.  even before this work was complete, nansen was involved in a further humanitarian effort. on 1st september 1921 he accepted the post of the league's high commissioner for refugees. his main brief was the resettlement of around two million russian refugees displaced by the upheavals of the russian revolution.  at the same time, he tried to tackle the urgent problem of famine in russia; following a widespread failure of crops around 30 million people were threatened with starvation and death. despite nansen's pleas on behalf of the starving, russia's revolutionary government was feared and distrusted internationally, and the league was reluctant to come to its peoples' aid.  \n while attending the conference of lausanne in november 1922, nansen learned that he had been awarded the nobel peace prize for 1922. the citation referred to ´his work for the repatriation of the prisoners of war, his work for the russian refugees, his work to bring succour to the millions of russians afflicted by famine, and finally his present work for the refugees in asia minor and thrace´. nansen donated the prize money to international relief efforts."},"estimateMax":12000,"lotNumber":"1471","title":{"es":"[paris peace

(mexico), 29th march 1937, to james p. cannon and max shachtman ( ´dear comrades´ ). trotsky writes regarding the dewey commission, announcing ´i cannot conceal from you the fact that i am very disturbed about the fate of the inquiry commission´ , continuing ´the sending of a commission to mexico was the first serious test. what happened? the liberal and social-democratic friends showed themselves to be cowards and preferred to remain aside. only one man from the liberal circles revealed himself as a real man: old dewey. he is an exception, but all the work cannot depend upon his personality....´ and further reflecting ´the committee seeks absolutely impartial people. as i understand, they have found that miss lafollette is not sufficiently \"impartial\". i cannot understand what this signifies. is miss lafollette partial towards hitler and the mikado? i don´t believe this is the case. if, let us admit, she sympathizes with the program of the permanent revolution, she must be a hundred times more hostile to any kind of compromise with reaction. and the question on the order of the day is not whether the theory of permanent revolution is good or bad, but whether or not trotsky is connected with hitler and the mikado´ . trotsky further observes ´it is a thousand times more probable that a waldo frank is not only partial to stalin, but also that he is directly connected with the gpu [soviet secret police] through one intermediary organization or other. this is more probable than that stolberg, lafollette and the others are partial to an alliance of the trotskyites with reaction. all the people who are intelligent, thinking, active, have sympathies for one side or the other. absolutely \"impartial\" people can only be idiots, but they are not of the slightest interest for the committee. if the commission is composed of dewey, ross, rabbi israel, waldo frank, and such people, it can crash under the first blows of events or of the stalinists. only active, passionate, firm people can resist the inevitable hindrances and guide the inquiry to its end. but such people are more or less partial politically. the question is not of non-existent \"absolute impartiality\" but of personal honesty, of devotion to socialism, to the revolution. the stalinists will in any case say that the commission is partial. their agents (a la waldo frank) will possibly repeat this. for them the most impartial institution is the gpu or its dependents. if in the composition of the commission we adapt ourselves to the spectre of waldo frank, who is only the shadow of browder, who is only the shadow of vyshinsky, we will inevitably betray ourselves. the commission will win the case through its work, through the investigation itself......the commission could begin as a very modest body, of three or five solid, honest workers, with a couple of honest and competent intellectuals´ and also writes ´material facts are more convincing than juridicial abstractions. for the mexican commission you now have stolberg, ruhle, possibly a mexican lawyer (a stalinist agent) and, in this case, also walker, with lafollette as secretary. where then are the impartial commissioners? i see nobody except dewey (and i don´t know the degree of his \"impartiality\"). we have the truth on our side. on the other side are the greatest criminals in history, and their agents and semi-agents a la waldo frank. we begin the campaign but we are too willing to permit a liberal or a waldo frank to dictate his \"conditions\". he, waldo frank, demanded \"impartiality\", but we must whip frank himself out from behind this criterion, because he is browder´s lieutenant. it is a great honor for him to be called to participate in such an inquiry in spite of his miserable past. by our whole attitude we must show him that his criterion of impartiality, dictated by the gpu, is not ours. but in order to do this we must ourselves avoid the pitfall of so-called impartiality´ . in concluding trotsky reinforces his opinions, ´dear comrades: possibly you are of the same opinion and my arguments are not necessary for you. but the letters coming from the committee and my discussions with comrade solow show me that the spirit prevailing in committee circles is not good, not militant, absolutely inadequate for the great task before us. we must have as many firm, solid workers in the commission as possible, and as few doubtful liberals, who will desert on the first occasion, as possible. that is my firm conviction.´ . in a postscript trotsky again returns to the subject of frank and lafollette, ´it seems to me almost incredible that the committee seeks to have waldo frank at any price, but at the same time eliminate lafollette as partisan. the only partisanship which we cannot admit is material dependence on hitler or the gpu. i don´t know if waldo frank is dependent on the soviet state publishing house (a very important question), but it is clear that lafollette is not dependent on the trotskyite publishing house´ . an interesting letter of highly significant content, written at an important stage in trotsky´s life.

so-called dewey commission (officially the commission of inquiry into the charges made against leon trotsky at the moscow trials) which the then seventy-eight year old john dewey agreed to lead. following months of investigation, the dewey commission published its findings in the form of a book titled  not guilty in september 1937. the commission proclaimed that it had cleared trotsky of all charges made during the moscow trials and, moreover, exposed the scale of the alleged frame-up of all other defendants during these trials. among its conclusions, it stated: \"that the conduct of the moscow trials was such as to convince any unprejudiced person that no effort was made to ascertain the truth.\""},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"1510","title":{"es":"trotsky leon: (1879-1940) trotsky

ayala. zapata dictated the text of the proclamation while otilio wrote it down and proofread it. in december 1914, montaño accompanied zapata to the first meeting with pancho villa at xochimilco where he gave the welcoming speech and introduced the two \"jefes\" to each other.  \n pascual orozco (1882-1915) mexican revolutionary leader and general who rose up to support madero in late 1910 to depose long-time president and dictator porfirio diaz. orozco was a military leader whose victory over the federal army at ciudad juarez was a key factor in forcing díaz to resign in may 1911. following díaz's resignation and the democratic election of madero in november 1911, orozco served madero as leader of the state militia in chihuahua. orozco revolted against the madero government 16 months later. when huerta led a coup d´état against madero in february 1913, only two months before the present letter was written, during which madero was murdered, orozco joined the huerta regime. orozco's revolt against madero somewhat tarnished his revolutionary reputation, but his subsequent support of huerta compounded the repugnance against
