Prime Minister MacDonald, himself a Socialist,† held out his hand to clasp that of Comrade Litvinov right warmly-never thinking of the impossible position in which this placed Mrs. Stimson. She, flushing, quit Scot MacDonald's side and beat a hasty retreat to Statesman Stimson whose State Department does not recognize the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics...
