Warsaw. Poland, June 7 OPAL
! though the assassination of NJ. Voik-
eff Soviet minister to Poland. was
| committed by Russian refugee,
who is not a Polish citizen. it was
causing much anxiety in Poland to-
day. 1t was feared that Soviet Rus
STA might demand the extradition OF
the 19-year- old assassin, Boris kow
leeda to which Poland could not
possibly agree without a loss OF
prestige and violation of the prin-
cipe of not surrendering political
offenders. Members OF the Russian
colony in Warsaw repudiate con-
nection with kowceda and fear de-
plorable consequences.
A. P. Rosengolz, former Soviet
charge d'affaires at London. who
was with NJ. VoikoH. when he was
shot and killed yesterday. will ac-
| company the body to Moscow Thurs
day morning. They were walking
up and down on railway platform
at the time, waiting for train
which NJ. Rozengolz was to have
taken for the journey to Moscow.
Notwithstanding Soviet denials.
the Polish public connected NJ.
Noikoft, when he was sent here in
1924 with the murder of former
Emperor Nicholas Of Russia. When
he arrived in Warsaw the foreign
office proposed to give him special
protection, but he refused and ap-
peared offended at the proposal.
In connection with the contention
that Voikoff was a party to the Ro-
, manoff executions, 1t was pointed out
here that the Russian Judge Sokol-
off. in book written after an in
vestigation of the cars death, stat
ed that Voikoff was involved. He

document alleged to have been sign
ed by Noikoff. showing that he had
delivered gasoline for the burning
Of the royal family. The Polish gov
eminent accepted him as a minister
when an official denial came from
the Soviet government that he had
anything to do with the deaths Of
the Romanoffs.
NJ. Oulianoff. counsellor OF the So
Wet legation, has been appointed
charge d'affaires ad interim.
Commenting on the assassination,
the Kurjerwars Awski declares that
all Poland will have heard with in
dignation and horror the news OF
the crime.
THE murder" 1t says. as not the
action of a Pole: it Is an act abso-
lutely foreign to the moral senti-
ment, traditions and interests of
Poland"
The paper adds that N. Voikoff
applied himself to consolidating
neighborly relations between Russia
and Poland; was not supporter OF
Indictment or mutual distrust, but
on the contrary was fully alive to
the reciprocal advantages through
loyal partnership of the two coun-
tries.

Deny Gar Story
Government circles, as quoted by
lass, the official Soviet news agency,
deny that NJ. Noikoff. the murdered
minister, was i'll any way responsible
for the death warrants OF the Ro-
manoff family, as has been asserted
in some quarters. 1t is stated that
at the time OF the execution of the
former czar at Ekaterinburg, NJ.
Eoikoff was the Soviet food COM
missary in the Ural district.
The Russian authorities who had
declared a fortnight's mourning for
NJ. Voikoff by all Soviet representa-
tlNNo CT IiolltV ull4 AL ouu, l'Solu
the assassination as a serious affair
having. they say, a clearly defined
connection with the recent anti
Soviet activities of Great Britain.
They make no secret of their Convic-
ton that it is part OF a definite cam
paign carried on by capitalistic
countries against the Soviet Union.
1t is emphasized by some that the
assassination is reminiscent of the
assassination of the Archduke Franz
Ferdinand at Sarayevo, which
brought on the World War, and
supports the Russian contention
that recent events constitute men,
ace to European peace.
Izvestia, official Soviet organ,
commenting on the murder. said:

for Terrorist action against Soviet

At the same time NJ. Litvinoff

saying that the Polish government
could not repudiate responsibility
for the outrage.

London, June R-The assassina-
ton of the soviet minister to Poland
NJ. Voikoff, is regarded here as ere
ating a dangerous situation between
soviet Russia and Poland. Develop.

anxiety today.
1T does not create surprise" the

Moscow reports. Russian opinion
sees that the hidden hand Of Great
Britain was behind the assassin's re.
volver. 1t will not be surprising if
Moscow mentality holds British
statesmen directly responsible for
the murder, nonsensical as such ac-
cusations appear to intelligent per-
sons. they nevertheless have to be
reckoned with seriously in the devils
game OF International politics.
The Daily Express. denouncing the
assassination as repulsive and abhor-
rent, says: ut shows once more how
violence breeds violence. The men
who had guillotines erected in France

Downing street officials character
ize as obviously ridiculous" the ef-
fort OF Maxim Litvinoff, acting So

Anglo-Soviet diplomatic break with
Voikoff's assassination.
1t was stated this afternoon that
there was 10 likelihood of Great
Britain being drawn into any Russo
Polish difficulties which may result
from the death of NJ Noikoff. The
British believe Poland's attitude in
dictates a sincere desire to avoid
