Five minutes later, accompanied by Exchange President Charles R. Gay, the man the Red flag honored arrived in the private gallery of the Exchange: Soviet Russia's Ambassador to the U. S. Alexander A. Troyanovsky, escorting Soviet People's Commissar for Food Industry Anastas Mikoyan. Capitalists never had a more implacable enemy than Commissar Mikoyan.

...Secretariat of the Communist Party. Last week M. Stalin ordered dropped from the Cabinet of Premier Rykoff-of which he, himself, is not a member-his onetime "Left Hand Man," Foreign and Home Trade Commissar (Minister) Leo Kamenev. Into the vacant Ministry stepped with effrontery and assurance one Mikoyan, like M. Stalin a Georgian, unlike M. Stalin, a mere pliant boy.
