Soviet Action In Sofia Of No Special Importance -Hull
(1.30 p.m.) WASHINGTON, Oct. 2. Replying to questions regarding the Russian ejection of an Allied military mission from Bulgaria, the Secretary for State (Mr Cordell Hull) told a Press conferernce that the request to leave was due to a misunderstanding. The matter involved only local questions of no special importance, which since had been . straightened out. Mr Hull said the Bulgarian armistice terms would be ready in due course. Meanwhile, he could not help noticing the lack of speed with which Bulgaria was pulling out of Greece and Yugoslavia. Mr Hull ponited out that the withdrawal of Bulgarian troops from Greece and Yugoslavia was one of the terms of the armistice, which also requires Bulgaria to retire to her 1939 boundaries. Message From London It was stated in London that certain British and American officers were in Sofia before the Russians arrived but they in no sense formed part of any official mission. There was no British or American mission in Bulgaria when the armistice with Bulgaria was signed. Any mission that went to Sofia would form part of the Inter-Allied Committe of Control.
Ankara radio on September 27 reported that the Soviet had requested British and American military missions to leave Bulgaria.
