...Comrade Litvinov made the most of it. Stomachs quaked with mirth as he told in droll fashion how Statesman Stimson had called on all the 53 Kellogg Treaty nations to second his note, and concluded amid guffaws: ''I have just received a cablegram saying that Panama-even great Panama-stands with Mr. Stimson...
