Frank Ashton-Gwatkin
Frank Ashton-Gwatkin (1889–1976) (full name Frank Trelawny Arthur Ashton-Gwatkin) was a British diplomat and Foreign Office official. He also published a number of novels and other works under the pseudonym John Paris.
After several years in the Consular Service in East Asia, Ashton-Gwatkin joined the Far Eastern Department of the Foreign Office in 1919, transferring to the Diplomatic Service in 1921. He participated in several international conferences, including the Imperial Economic Conference in Ottawa in 1932 and the World Economic Conference in London the following year.〔Obituary, ''The Times'', London, 31 January 1976.〕 As a result of his interest in economic affairs, he was instrumental in establishing the Economic Relations Section in the Foreign Office, focused on co-ordinating British diplomatic and economic policies, becoming its first head in 1934.〔Boadle, D.G. “The Formation of the Foreign Office Economic Relations Section”, ''Historical Journal'', vol. 20, 1977, pp. 919-36.〕 In the late summer of 1938, he served as Chief of Staff on the Runciman Mission to Czechoslovakia and was a member of the British delegation at the subsequent Munich Conference.〔Vyšný, Paul, ''The Runciman Mission to Czechoslovakia, 1938: Prelude to Munich'', Palgrave Macmillan, Basingstoke, Hampshire, 2003, pp. 128-9, 324.〕
During the 1930s, Ashton-Gwatkin was a staunch advocate of the policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany. Although he later revised his views, Ashton-Gwatkin’s political outlook at that time is encapsulated by his expressed hope - in the immediate aftermath of the Munich Agreement in 1938 - of “an Anglo-German policy of economic co-operation” flourishing within a German-dominated East Central Europe.〔"Notes on Germany and Central Europe", memorandum by Ashton-Gwatkin, 27 October 1938, C 13864/772/18, FO371/21705, National Archives, London.〕
Ashton-Gwatkin’s literary work, published under the name of John Paris, reflected his period of residence in Japan and included the novels ''Kimono'' (1921), ''Sayonara'' (1924), ''Banzai!'' (1925),''The Island beyond Japan'' (1929), ''Matsu'' (1932) and a collection of verses ''A Japanese Don Juan and other Poems'' (1926). The novels were noted for their realistic portrayal of life in East Asia. Previously, whilst an undergraduate at Oxford, he was awarded the 1909 Newdigate Prize for a poem entitled ''Michelangelo''.
