London, Jan. 4.-MaXim Litvinof,
who has been appointed Bolshevik AM
bassador TO Great Britain. and who
said yesterday that he probably would
return to Petrograd, has decided to re-
main in London pending the receipt
of his instructions.
His photograph is printed promi-
nently in the newspapers. 1t shows
the highly intelligent face of a we'll
born and educated man.
He is described as being broad
minded. and it is said that he is att
tached to English institutions in Eng
land, where he has liver for decade.
Wife an English Woman.
NJ. Litvinoff's wife is an English
woman, and he is an old friend and as
sociate of Lenine He is declared to
be a whole-hearted supporter of the
Bolsheviki, with whom he apparently
is in close touch.
The Daily Mail quotes him as saying
that until a courier brings him his
formal appointment he cannot say
whether he will accept the ambassa-
dorship, but in long interview in the
Daily Chronicle he speaks as if he is
resolved to take it.
MY task as Ambassador" he says
in the interview, will be to dissent
nate the truth about Russia and to
dissipate misunderstanding and mis-
interpretations of the motives, char
acter and purpose of the Workmen's s
and Soldiers Council.
Not Pro-German.
"It is grossly mischievous to repre-
sent the Bolsheviki as pro-German,
anti-ally or as mere pacifists. They
realize as clearly as anyone that
Kaiserism and junkerdom are the
greatest obstacles to the self-emanci-
patton OF the international prole-
tariat. but have discovered that Prus-
sia is OF the only soil for the con-
genital growth of noxious plants.
They oppose replacing Prussian
militarisn by Russian, French or
English militarism."
NJ. Litvinoff declared his emphatic
belief that by the present negotia-
tons and Propaganda among the Ger
man soldiers in the East, sTrotzky
and Lenine are contributing to the
downfall of Kaiserism more effectu-
