(Air Commodore H. L. Maxwell, 29th August 1960), 'Squadron Leader James is a quiet man with great singleness of purpose. He is not one of the flashy types and the absence of the spontaneous smile that instantly charms is inclined to hide the hidden depths he possesses. He is popular with his fellow men and this is a lasting feature that I was able to witness during the intimacy of prison camp life. He got on extremely well with the Russian officers at Sachsenhausen. My friend James is a man who makes no enemies; he is regular in his habits, reliable, serious, loyal and brave. He is not one to set the Thames on fire and he would be the first to admit it. Perhaps it is the very fact that he is simply a fine type of average Englishman that makes others listen to what he has to say' (Peter Churchill, 27th August 1960), printed 8vo copy of the Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporated 23rd June 1961, carbon typed copy of the Chairman's Notes from an Executive Committee Meeting held at the House of Commons, 1st November 1962, copy of James's confidential report entitled Some Impressions of a Soviet Youth Group during a Visit to Birmingham, June 1963, recounting an incident that had occurred at Worcester College, Oxford, on 29th May, with a man, Utechin, who '….they said was anti-Soviet and it was an insult that such a person should be invited to meet them', commenting on a trip to see the film Lawrence of Arabia ('….none of them seemed to know anything about Lawrence….'), a visit to Shakespeare's birthplace, and a long conversation held regarding World War II and its aftermath, '….we agreed that such a thing must not happen again and made a common affirmation that we all wanted peace. My table companions went on to talk about the warmongering American Generals in the Pentagon and our points of view began to diverge. I mentioned the Generals in the Kremlin who formed part of a pressure group, hotly denying this they went on to talk about the abysmal ignorance of the Soviet Union displayed by the average Englishman….', unused letterheads, group photographs taken during a trip to Moscow etc. Some duplication.
