The United States Representative in Bulgaria (Barnes) to the Secretary of State
[Received 3:13 p.m.]
695. Contents Dept’s 373, Nov 14, handed in form of written note to Prime Minister, accompanied by Minister for Foreign Affairs at 1:15 p.m. today. Prime Minister said he would consult with his Cabinet colleagues during course of afternoon. He made no comment except to say in passing that it was not really true that he had taken no steps to reorganize govt after Aug 26; that in fact he had sought for some days to establish contact with opposition for purpose of negotiations but that before any serious conversation had taken place opposition had notified regents that all possibilities of compromise had already been exhausted. I report this comment merely to keep record straight not because it has any intrinsic importance.
Repeated Moscow as No. 313.
