The United States Representative in Bulgaria (Barnes) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:20 p.m.]
424. In several occasions during the past month or two the Minister for Foreign Affairs has said to me when we have been discussing the Bulgarian election situation that the Declaration of Yalta on Liberated Europe has no bearing, so far as he and his Cabinet colleagues are concerned, on the state of affairs in Bulgaria as the Bulgarian Govt has never been officially apprized of the existence of any such declaration. Recalling this observation I naturally wonder what arrangements have been agreed upon for notifying the Bulgarian Govt of the contents of the Potsdam declaration.
