...Vatican communiqué to the World press, these points were made: first His Holiness is "highly pleased" that the Chairman of the U. S. Senate's Foreign Relations Committee, Senator William Edgar Borah (casual Presbyterian) made private protest anent the persecutions to Soviet Acting Commissar for Foreign Affairs Maximovitch Litvinov. The Vatican further intimated that Pope Pius is "deeply disappointed" because, despite his appeals, no Christian Government whatsoever has made any official, diplomatic protest to Moscow; third, the Vatican intimated that Pope Pius is particularly disappointed with the Government of the Irish Free State and with those of their...
Comrade Maxim Maximovitch Litvinov, Acting Foreign Minister of the Soviet Union, is tired of having Ambassador Herbette walk in with diplomatic notes from powers who do not recognize Soviet Russia. He was tired the first time it happened. When Secretary of State Henry Lewis Stimson sent a reminder of Russia's obligation under the Kellogg Pact not to encroach upon China (TIME, Dec. 16), Bear Litvinov received it courteously enough from Ambassador Herbette, but figuratively growled at Statesman Stimson: "Mind your own business!"

Since then, plump, indefatigable Comrade Litvinov, who looks like a squirrel with a nut in either cheek, has been slowly learning that whatever plan he may offer will be pigeonholed, at least for some time to come...
Further to harass the Commission, there was present in Geneva the author of the Russian project, Comrade Maxim Maximovitch Litvinov, a round-faced, round-bodied but keen-witted little man who is Soviet Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs. Bustling straight to the point, he stood up before the Commission and charged that, although the League Assembly & Council have considered the problems of disarmament on 38 separate occasions, and although its deliberations have been continued by 14 committees during more than 120 series of sittings, still the fact remains -said Comrade Litvinov-that "not a single real step had been taken...
