...upon the League to give Finland "all practical support possible," shouted: "Give us back peace!" Argentine Delegate Rodolfo Freyre, glowing with anti-Soviet hatred, was the spokesman for those who demanded that the Soviet Union be read out of the League. Swedish Delegate Bo Osten Unden moved that a telegram-virtually an ultimatum-be sent to Moscow asking that the Red Army be halted and that the Finnish-Russian dispute be mediated. Britain's Richard Austen Butler asked and got a time limit of 24 hours for the Soviet Union to reply...
...motion carried, the telegram was dispatched. The 24 hours elapsed, and not only did Delegate Suritz say nothing, but Foreign Commissar Molotov, in a short and pointed message, refused to discuss the matter.

But in all of them it was informal, effortless, personal. A man of tremendous heart and unfailing kindness, Broun was led by his sympathies first into Socialism, then to the brink of Communism, though he never actually joined...
Last fortnight, just before his contract with the World-Telegram expired (TIME, Dec. 11), Broun signed a new contract with the New York Post. Then in Connecticut he took to his bed with bronchitis. To the World-Telegram, a few days earlier than usual, he sent his annual Christmas parable about the two old kings and the young wise man. (His great & good friend, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, once read it at a Christmas ceremony in Washington.) For the Post he wrote but one column...
