IT
ENVOY LITVINOFF;
E
Soviet Ambassador Popular
With Officials, People
and Newsmen of Capitol
By Jack Stinnett
Washington The war has
made more changes In diplo
matic circles than It has in the
map of the world but none
stranger than that which has
brought round, graying Maxim
Litvinoff Into the Washington
spotlight as one of the most
popular figures In the nation's
capital.
If this were Hollywood, It
would be a safe bet that only
President Roosevelt and Win
ston Churchill (during his visit)
would be any more sought after
by the autograph hounds than
the paunchy, smiling ambassa
dor from the U. S. S. R., who.
because he also holds the title
of deputy commissar for foreign
affairs, outranks all diplomats
here with the single exception
of the British ambassador. Lord
Halifax, who likewise has re
tained his status as a member
of the British cabinet.
That, however, is a protocol
rating and has nothing to do
with the fact that ex-revolutionary,
one-time exile In Siberia,
and In-agaln, out-again favorite
of Josef Stalin, rates tops in
popularity with official and un
official Washington.
Newsmen Like Him
The capital press corps espe
cially has placed Its approval
stamp on the man from Communist-land
and there's good
reason for It. In his conferences
In the big embassy, Litvinoff
greets the ladies and gentlemen
of the press with a big smile
that deepens the creases In his
heavily lined face and threatens
to displace his oval-shaped spectacles.
His manner Is easy. It Im
presses one as being more frank
than that of official spokesmen
of our even more firmly estab
lished Miles in the war on the
axis. At times It is almost con
fidential. When a question Is too close
to subjects he does not wish to
discuss, he displays Russian
genius for skirting the Issue
without seeming to refuse an
answer. That kind of double-
dealing the newspaper men can
understand and appreciate.
Cordial Relations
The diplomatic relations be
tween the United States and the
Soviet Republics seem to be
functioning smoothly, for the
latchstrlng Is nearly always out
for Litvinoff both at the state
department and the White
House. While there Is no evi
dence that the new Russian am
bassador has been taken as a
bosom pal by either President
Roosevelt or Secretary of State
Hull, neither Is there any that
he Is in the least personna non
grata, state In which hla pre
decessor, Constantin A. Oumans-
WML SLABS
GREEN to burn with your
dry wood in furnace, fire
place or hearer.
Select Quality, Per Lead
00
ky, frequently found himself.
Litvinoff Is considered Rus
sia's greatest diplomat. In spite
of his two years in disfavor with
Stalin before he came to this
country. His assignment to the
now world capital of allied re
sistance to the Axis powers is
full of responsibilities. He works
hard and long.
For that reason and one other,
there is not much social activity
around the Russian embassy
these days and the ambassador
and the staff are doing no more
pink-teaing than their most urg
cnt obligations demand. The
other reason is that Madame Lit
vinoff, who before her marriage
was Ivy Low, an English wom
an, has been ill ever since her
arrival In this country.

The Japanese attack on the United States instantly changed our
trend of thought in this country.
Before that attack some of us thought in terms of "I", others in
terms of "we". Neither of those terms expresses our feelings today.
"I" represents onlyone person.
"We" may mean only two or a few persons.
Our slogan now is WE-ALL, which means every loyal individual
in the United States.
We are facing a long, hard job, but when the United States decides
to fight for a cause, it is in terms of WE-ALL, and nothing can or
will stop us.
President Roosevelt, our Commander-in-Chief, can be certain that
WE-ALL are back of him, determined to protect our country, our
form of government, and the freedoms which we cherish.
