Puzzled by Litvinov recall signals shifting Soviet stance
Special to The Light from Chicago reports puzzled observers and 40 Britain pundits over the recall of Maxim Litvinov, longtime Soviet ambassador to the United States. His rise and fall tracked Moscow's mood toward London and Washington, denouncing Nazism and shaping wartime diplomacy before a May 1939 removal and later return to influence during World War II. The piece links his career to Soviet foreign policy shifts, the Hitler-Stalin pact, and the wartime alliance.

Lawyers Urged to Seek One World Military Force
CHICAGO Aug. 23 Georgy Maurice Botzzis president of the American Bar association said lawyers favor a single world military force under one command to keep world order but question whether nations will surrender enough power. He warned abolition of all but one force requires a single sovereign power with delegated authority from all nations. The talk urged converting military power to serve law, with a federated system only if sovereigns concede shared control.
