Next day this definition was signed all over again in a special regional pact between Russia, Turkey and the "Little Entente" (Czechoslovakia, Rumania and Jugoslavia). By many London observers Soviet Foreign Commissar Maxim Maximovich Litvinov, sponsor of the nonaggression treaties, was thought to loom as a new leader in Eastern Europe, the champion of the "Little Entente" and Poland against possible German aggression. In Warsaw, where every Pole hates & fears Adolf Hitler, relieved Polish Foreign Minister Colonel Josef Beck exclaimed: "This is a most important political act - a great step toward organization of world peace!" Farsighted Soviet Foreign Commissar Litvinov...
...nation of 160,000,000 inhabitants when last May Franklin Roosevelt included U. S. S. R. in his world-circling appeal for peace. For the first time in 16 years a Soviet Commissar of Foreign Affairs did business as an equal with U. S. statesmen when last month Maxim Maximovich Litvinov met Assistant Secretary of State Moley at the London Economic Conference. For the first time in 16 years U.

The professor's wallet seemed to contain last week chiefly U. S. $20 bills. Short of English money, he once or twice was seen to borrow...
...Amberjack II came reports that her Skipper-President had told Professor Moley to take up U. S.-Russian recognition at the World Conference with moon-faced twinkly-eyed Soviet Foreign Commissar Maxim Maximovich Litvinov. In London last week correspondents noticed that Comrade Litvinov, once accustomed to being snubbed by Statesman Stimson at Geneva, now hobnobs in friendly fashion with Snubber Stimson's successor, Secretary of State Cordell Hull. In the lobbying skirmish fortnight ago to get Vice Chief U. S. Delegate Cox elected Chairman of the Conference Monetary Committee (TIME, June 26), Comrade Litvinov battled from the first...
...Richard Bedford Bennett came to the Conference proposing such a plan he joined forces eagerly with Mr. Morgenthau. Because a wheat pact may lead to diplomatic recognition and because Russia is having a hard time just now to grow a wheat surplus anyway. Uncle Henry found Soviet Foreign Commissar Maxim Maximovich Litvinov willing to cooperate in restricting exports. But down in the Argentine there was the Devil to pay. A stubborn Argentine Senate, egged by small wheat growers, railed against restriction...
