Picture a big, genial bear that walks like a man and is a man. You have pictured Maxim Maximovitch Litvinov, Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. Last week at the League sessions in Geneva he came, after long probation and tremendous effort, finally into his own. M. Litvinov, as the world press has only lately begun to admit, aspired from the first to be a Kellogg or a Briand: a Peace...

Arguments by many another great statesman were equally weasled. In the midst of the proceedings Soviet Commissar for Foreign Affairs Maxim Maximovitch Litvinov quit the Commission last month, denounced Mr. Gibson and the rest as "hypocrites bent on conserving the armaments of their countries!" flounced off to Milan for a secret talk with Italy's Foreign Minister Dino Grandi, finally returned to Moscow leaving Russia represented at Geneva by pensive, hyperintellectual Anatoliy Lunacharsky.
