 There was no indication of the result but the comment of the Fin- nish press appeared to make cer- tain that Finland will reject the Anglo American demands.
 Realistic Swedish observers said Filand's only chance of getting out of the war would be by consent of Germany which obviously will not be forthcoming.

to Washington immediately after President Roosevelt's accession to office and negotiated the under standing which led to American rec ognition of the Soviet.
 It was presumed that Litvinov was selected because of these background qualifications.
 Did Much for Russia
 Washington, Nov. 6.-(UP)-Maxs i'm Maximovich Ldtvinov, newly ape pointed Russian ambassador to the United States, has been credited with accomplishing more for his country abroad than any other member of the Soviet regime.
 Intelligent, shrewd, well acquaint- ed with foreign languages, 1t was Litvinov who brought Red Russia from a position of isolation into the family of nations.
 Among his outstanding diplomatic achievements may be listed the fol- lowing:
 The formation of an unwritten but real "entente cordiale" between Soviet Russia and Turkey to pre- vent use of the Dardanelles by an unfriendly power which might want to attack Russia through the Black Sea.
 The conclusion of non aggression pacts between the Soviet Union and its neighbors to the west to secure Russia's western frontiers against at- tack in the event of a war with Japan.
 His embarrassment of the world economic conference by Q proposal of complete disarmament which no other nation would accept.
 His visit to the United States in the fall of 1883, when he obtained American recognition of Red Russia.
 Obtaining a seat in the League of Nations on his own terms. Litvinov did not negotiate the Russo-G German pacts.
 Cold, factual and ironic, Ltvinov has few friends but many admirers. Tn personal appearance he is sandy. haired and heavy set. with keen eyes and 6 firm jow. He dresses neat ly but conservatlvely.
 Litvinov Is Jew
 Litvinov is 6 Jew. His real name Is Vailach and he was born in Po- land in 1876. His father was 6 poor artisan. Litvinov joined the revolu- tionary movement at an early age and lived for many years as an exile abroad. He became afliliated in 1898 with what now is known as the Com- munist party. In 1901 he was arrest- cd and exiled in siberia. He escaped and went to live in Switzerland but he managed to return to Russia in 1908 on a false passport. He worked as an agitator in Riga for two years but he was driven abroad again af- ter the 1905 revolution.
 He returned to Russia briefly in 1907 but after 1908 he spent c great deal of time In London where he met Ivy Low, an English woman of good family. whom he married and

who shared with him later the dam gerouS days of early poSt-revolution- ary Russian life. They had two chil- dren, a girl, Tania, and boy MiSha.
 Washington, Noe. 6.-(UP)-Un- oficial government quarters today expressed qualification over the ap- pointment of Maxim Ltvinov as Soviet ambassador to the United States and predicted that it pre- Saged even closer cooperation be- tween the two nations.
 The appointment brings to Wash- ington one of the worlds ace diplo- mats and gives the Soviet Union a diplomatic parsonage on par with that of her ally, Great Britain. The British empire Is represented by Lord Halifax, member of the Brit ish war cabinet. Litvinov is a former foreign commisar and the only Com- munist leader ever to successfully conclude a major agreement with the United States prior to the cur- rent lend-lease negotiations.
 Litvinov, about 60, Jewish and dapper, Is well known in administra- ton circles. He came to America once-for 10 days in Nov. 1883, and returned to Moscow with American recognition of the Soviet Union, an acknowledgement denied that gov- ernment for almost IS years. He also took back U. E.-U. S. s. R. trade agreement which opened the way for steadily growing commer- cial relationship between the two nations. He was somewhat disgust ed, however. with his Washington mission for failing to have effected 2 settlement of the Russian debt issue.
