ers" to allied governments, in an
effort to get out of the war that
both the Bulgarian * government

on a basis ®f the Atlantic Char
ter. in return for guarantees that
Bulgaria might keep the terrior
ies siezed from Yugoslavia and
Greece.”
The dispatch said that Bul
garia was prepared to argue that
these acquisitions are rightfully
hers.
The Germans are reported to
have warned the Sofia govern
ment, that “any further attempts
to desert the Axis war machine,
would be met with strong Ger
man action, citing the unhappy
state of Italy.”
