Monsignor-Minister

Monsignor Anton Koroshetz was until recently Prime Minister of Jugoslavia.

Last week King Alexander, who recently assumed the powers of a dictator (TIME, Jan. 14), appointed the Rt. Rev. Anton Koroshetz to be the Minister Plenipotentiary of Jugoslavia to the new Papal State.

Thus the Monsignor-Minister is a most interesting personage. His duties will cause him to move in three spheres, fortunately separate and distinct. In the sphere of the Pope temporal--that is to say on the streets of the Papal State, mingling with the temporal subjects of the Pope--he will move as a foreigner, a Jugoslav. In the sphere of the Pope spiritual he already has his being as a native. In the temporal sphere of King Alexander, he remains a loyal subject.
