Silk-hatted, frock-coated, begloved, bespatted M. Bogomolov arrived in Warsaw to present his credentials to Polish President Ignatz Moscicki as Soviet Minister to Poland. A company of Polish soldiery accompanied the new envoy to the presidential palace.
Four months ago (TIME, June 20) Soviet Minister Peter Lazarevitch Vojkov was felled in a Warsaw railway station by the foul hand of a boy assassin. Due note of that fact was emphasized by the arrival of M. Bogomolov, who symbolizes a return of normal Russo-Polish relations, after a period of horror struck deep in Russia by political and revengeful executions, and in Poland by a period of intense excitement uncalmed by the sentence of the aforesaid boy assassin to life imprisonment with a recommendation by the Court that this be commuted to 15 years.
Both nations appear to have forgotten the recent turmoil, for Minister Bogomolov is reported to have assured President Moscicki that Russia is ready to conclude a treaty guaranteeing peace between the two countries.
