The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 26—12:15 a.m.]
9200. In the House of Commons today a number of questions were asked regarding the position in Hungary and Bulgaria. Mr. Law, Minister of State replying for the Foreign Minister, said that he was not in a position to make a statement on Hungary. With reference to Bulgaria he said that no armistice had been concluded with Bulgaria and that the terms of the armistice are under consideration by the governments concerned and it is hoped there will be no long delay. In answer to another question concerning the present status of the Bulgarian Government in relation to the Allied Governments, he said that although Bulgaria had declared war on Germany she was not recognized by any of the Allied Governments as a co-belligerent. Bulgarian units under the Soviet High Command were, however, taking part in battles against the Germans.
