Ivan Maisky, short and stocky Ambassador in London of the Soviet Union, made the speech taunting the Capitalist World which his chief, Soviet Foreign Commissar Maxim Maximovich Litvinov, was too smart to let any Russian make until he personally had negotiated an imposing series of non-aggression pacts in the lobbies of the Conference (TIME, July 17). Last week Comrade Litvinov was sipping the waters of a famed spa, when Comrade Maisky rose to shout: "The results of this Conference are something less than zero! . . . The only lesson we have learned is that a profound organic disease is eating away...
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...

Just one delegate to the World Monetary and Economic Conference was a hero last week to his people. Russia's roly-poly Maxim Maximovich Litvinov. While the Conference proper stewed over stabilization (see p.15), Comrade Litvinov bustled busily around London attending to three major outside jobs. In his thick Jewish English and even thicker French he bargained with statesmen of at least eight nations, closed a thumping deal with Professor Raymond Moley. 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...
...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...
