Russian Foreign Commissar Denounces Naziism And Fascism At League Meeting

BY JOSEPH E. SHARKEY Associated Press Foreign Staff GENEVA. Sept. 28-—(AP)—Maxim

Litvinoff, Russian Foreign Com- missnr, tonight denounced Nazlism and Foscsm as "enemies or civil- izntlozl", in n vehement reply to re- cent Nuzi charges that Bolshev- ism was "world enemy No. 1."

Litviuoff, in a vigorous defence of his country's desire for world peace, rose in the League of Na- tions Assembly and declared:

“They (Nnziism and Fascism) are the deadly enemies of all working people and of civilization!"

He mentioned neither Chancellor iililrr nor Premier Mussolini by name. but delivered vitriolic ut- lucks on those responsible for the doctrines of the Nazis and Fascists.

Rusia, he asserted, was unalter- obly opposed to entry into the Lea- gue o!‘ any nation with political rule "founded on racial and nation- al inequality which describes all people except its own as sub-hu- man."

Any state ruled by a man who in- dulges in territorial conquests, Lit- vinoff declared, was not acceptable to the League of Nations.

Especially should League doors be barred against countries whose leaders "enumerate vast territories which they intend violently to se- parate from other countries," he sold, apparently referring to Hit- lcrs recent saying Germany would

be prosperous "if we had" the Ukraine wheat fields of Russia.

Despite opposition to League ad- mission of any such country, Lit- vinoff said his Government stood ready to make agreements with even "the most aggressive coun- tries." and recommended convoca- tion of a European peace confer- once.

“If any stale refuses to partici- pate," he declared, "every one will see our road and theirs do not run together. We must organize for peace without them."

The Council approved a. sessional committee report which found that withdrawal of theological colleges from university centres would "ser- iously imperil" the work of the church in exerting its "profound in- fluence on the life of the young men and women who are to be the future leaders of the nation" and its training of candidates for Lhe ministry.
