In a grubby street in Lodz, Poland, Lord Beaverbrook's stunt-loving London Daily Express tracked down a grey-bearded rabbi, proved that the rabbi was brother to Russia's Commissar for Foreign Affairs Maxim Maximovitch Litvinoff. For 100 zlotys ($1,900) Rabbi Yankel Vallach talked. His brother, said he, was born Meyer Moses Vallach, was a pious Jew until Tsarist police clapped him into jail. There he met Bolsheviks Kamenev and Zinoviev, turned Communist, atheist. Released, he was made the fat-salaried manager of a sugar factory. He almost forgot his Communism but police jailed him again for helping his old friends. After that he met Lenin and Trotsky, directed Russian terrorists from England until the Revolution.
Last time Rabbi Vallach saw his brother was when Maxim-Moses' train passed through Bialystok, their birthplace, once part of Russia, now in Poland. Related the rabbi: "I shouted 'Meyer, Meyer.' He looked out of his carriage. At first he did not know me. . . . Then he stepped on the platform and we walked up and down. . . . We talked of our other brothers. He gave me a cigar. And all the time his guards were following. . . ." Last year Rabbi Vallach; ill, wrote to Maxim-Moses for money. Back came a reply from Litvinoffs secretary: "According to ... the Soviet Constitution money may not be sent outside Russia, and Comrade Minister Litvinoff will not break the law."
