Battleships baseball and the Bund An evocative album containing over 300 photographs both personal and from commercial studios recording the active service of the USS Parrott DD-218 on the China Station with the Asiatic Fleet - part of Destroyer Division 58 - including the Asiatic neutrality patrol in 1935 and 1936 offering a wealth of images of China Japan the Philippines and the South Pacific on the eve of the Second Sino-Japanese War 7 July 1937-9 September 1945 and the Second World War. Studio photographs include a number from the renowned commercial photographers Afong based in Yantai formerly Chefoo Joseffa and Skvirsky both established in Shanghai. It was compiled by Yeoman 2nd Class E-5 Charles Edmond Berry and opens with two fine photographs of the officers and crew of the Parrott on deck two colour-tinted photographs showing the ship at anchor and a humorous pictorial advertising photo from the Afong studio including an image of the studio exterior - clearly issued to all ships passing through Yantai - and featuring the Parrott at the centre. There follows an often joyful evocation of life onboard a US Navy destroyer prior to the Second World War with photos of the after-parties at the famed Beach Cafe in Chefoo which featured White Russian "hostesses" and tremendous amounts of alcohol as well as the morning-after breakfasts. Berry has also included panoramic photos of the Asiatic fleet in harbour at Chefoo Yantai and Hong Kong even including a humorous photographic pictorial "Bootlegger's Map of the United States."

There are photos of Pan American Airways flying boats landing and unloading passengers in China many street scenes in Shanghai Hong Kong Tsing Tao Qingdao including the beheading of Chinese robbers outside the town Peking and Singapore. Of special interest are the series of photos showing Chinese Naval Ships from the Republic of China Navy in the mid-1930s including the CNS Yixian sunk by Japanese aircraft in September 1937; CNS Yisheng which had been converted into a gunboat in 1928 later sunk the CNS Shin Shey built in 1911 converted to a gunboat in 1929 sunk in 1938 and many others. There are also images of Kobe Yokohama street cars in Shanghai parks in Tokyo street scenes in Kyoto and views of the temples there. The USS Parrott DD-218 was a Clemson-class destroyer laid down by William Cramp & Sons Philadelphia and launched in 1919 commissioned in 1920 with a complement of 157 officers and enlisted men. The Parrott spent most of her career sailing with the Asiatic Fleet was awarded the Yangztze Service Medal in part for humanitarian assistance during the flooding of 1931-32 operating through the Chinese Civil War which resulted in considerable naval activity in Chinese waters collecting hydrographic data in and around Saigon then French Indochina in 1935. By 1940 she had served successively as station ship at Amoy Xiamen and Swatow Shantou China. From 7 July to 4 October she patrolled China waters based at Tsing Tao Qingdao and then made calls to other northern Chinese ports returning to Manila on 11 October. There in the early months of 1941 she was refitted with anti-mine and detection gear for anti-submarine warfare. The Parrott saw action in several theatres of war: South China Sea Battle of the Java Sea Atlantic Convoys and the bombardment of Spanish Morocco. She was accidentally rammed by the SS John Morton in Norfolk Naval Shipyard in 1944 and so severely damaged that she was decommissioned that same year and saw no further active service.

‎* Felix Greene (21 May 1909 ? 15 June 1985) was a British journalist who chronicled several communist countries in the 1960s and 1970s. He was one of the first Western reporters to visit North Vietnam when he travelled there for the San Francisco Chronicle in the 1960s. He first visited China for the BBC in 1957. Greene later produced documentary films, including One Man's China, Tibet, Cuba va!, Vietnam! Vietnam! and Inside North Viet Nam. Right-wing critics have accused these films of presenting a one-sided view of communist society. The Wall Street Journal argued that Greene purposely hid negative information about the extent of starvation in China and called him a "fellow traveller." Commander R. W. Herrick of the U.S. Navy reviewed A Curtain of Ignorance in Naval War College Review, writing, "There can be no question but that [Greene] set out deliberately to 'prove' his contentions that practically everything having to do with Communist China and its policies is good, while Chiang Kai-shek and the Nationalist regimes are unmitigatedly bad. ... Yet, once the reader understands and allows for this bias, this book is eminently worth reading." Herrick agreed with Greene's observation that "... on matters where great national feelings are aroused, scholars and experts are just as likely as the rest of us to allow their judgments to be swayed by the prevailing climate of opinion." He found the chapters on Nationalist China and the China Lobby to be provocative reading. In the 1970s, Greene went to Dharamsala to visit the 14th Dalai Lama, who recalled that after three days of discussion, Greene's attitude had changed. Greene lived in the San Francisco area for 20 years and died in Mexico of cancer. He was a cousin of the author Graham Greene. (Quelle Wikipedia)‎

‎CHINA - SNOW, Edgar‎

‎Unpublished typed letter signed from Lawrence Salisbury to Ida Pruitt concerning the divorce of the famous journalists Edgar Snow and Helen Foster Snow Nym Wales.‎

‎Higganum Connecticut: 30 November 1948. I hope you won't reply to this" - a sinological circle rent asunder A window onto the collapse of the marriage of Edgar and Helen Snow the 20th century's most important bridges between China and the Western world. As shown in this terse exchange between two of their friends the split sowed distrust and trapped some of the leading lights of American sinology in a quagmire of pettiness. Enjoying privileged access to top Chinese political and social figures Edgar 1905-1972 and Helen Foster Snow 1907-1997 also known as Nym Wales and "Peg" shaped Western views of China and its people to an extent unmatched by any other journalist or academic. Edgar Snow's career was bookended by Red Star Over China 1927 the work that introduced Mao Zedong to the English-speaking world and the historic 1972 Nixon visit to Beijing for which he laid important groundwork in the 1960s. Helen Snow reporting and writing from China in the 1930s and 1940s opened American eyes to the country's deteriorating political and refugee situations earning two nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. With Rewi Alley the Snows co-founded the Indusco "Gung Ho" co-operative movement to promote economic recovery and they are lionized in China today. Their 1932 marriage ended acrimoniously in the late 1940s following their permanent return to the US and divided their sinological circle. This letter written by the State Department China expert Lawrence Salisbury 1891-1976 was sent in reply to Helen Snow's close friend the medical missionary Ida Pruitt 1888-1985 at the New York headquarters of Indusco. There are no opening niceties. "Your letter just came. You and I must not talk about the Snows to each other. I have known them for fifteen years. Peg is a liar". There follows several paragraphs listing Helen Foster Snow's character faults "unreasonable" "unprincipled" and "willing to blacken people" and her attempts to take advantage of Edgar Snow. "On Ed's side I find no lies. I find that he has been hitched to a selfish self-seeking pathological woman who is set to destroy him financially and/or in reputation. When I told him that Peg was responsible for the arrival at my farm in early this month of two men to serve a writ to attach most unreasonably his car and his river property he would not at first believe me". A pencilled note in the margin states that "I can give many underlined other instances". Salisbury also accuses Helen of greed and money-grabbing and sneers at her "feminist theories" and her inability to produce commercially viable books. In the final third of the letter he flatly rejects Pruitt's suggestion that he intervene to soften Edgar Snow's mind ending with a word of advice: "I hate to see you waste your time and emotional strength in so undeserving a cause. I hope you won't reply to this." Provenance: by descent through the Pruitt family; recently in a private collection in Hong Kong. Single sheet 275 x 215 mm text one side only. With mailing envelope typed address "Miss Ida Pruitt Indusco Inc. 425 Fourth Avenue New York 16 N.Y.". Envelope split along 3 edges otherwise fine. unknown‎
