Two for Lit vino ff

Seldom does smart Soviet Foreign Minister Maxim Maximovich Litvinoff go home to Moscow empty handed. In Geneva last week, while no one else was getting anything substantial at the Dis armament Conference (see col. 3), he put screws on King Alexander of Jugoslavia to recognize the Soviet Union. Roly-poly Comrade Litvinoff had just obtained in Geneva recognition from the other two countries of the Little Entente, Czechoslovakia and Rumania. Since King Carol was at last able to stomach Bolsheviks, why should not his brother-in-law King Alexander, too?
