Whatever Comrade Litvinoff's retirement meant, Britain and France thought it was bad news. It was accepted as good news in a Germany which had not failed to notice that, in his last two or three big speeches, Fiihrer Hitler had dropped his usual tirade against the Bolsheviks. Whether it meant nothing or everything. Comrade Stalin had removed one of the smoothest, most accomplished actors from the world's diplomatic stage...
...greatest triumphs was 1933, when he walked away from the otherwise still-born World Economic Conference in London with the embryo of U. S. recognition of the U.S.S.R.

When Adolf Hitler seized Czecho-Slovakia last March he incorporated the provinces of Bohemia and Moravia into the Reich as a protectorate, but made Slovakia a separate "dependency." For two months France, Britain and the U. S. (among others) have refused to recognize Herr Hitler's conquest. Last week, however, the British took the first step toward legitimatizing the Hitler grab by according de facto recognition to Slovakia. They named Peter Pares, formerly a British consul in the Sudetenland, as consul at Bratislava. Britain also was the first big democratic power to urge recognition of Benito Mussolini...
