BULGARIA REJECTS BRITISH NOTE OF PROTEST AT PETKOV’S EXECUTION
Recd. 9.55 p.m. Sofia, Oct. 3
The Bulgarian Government has sent a Note to Britain rejecting as “a contradiction of all the principles of international law,” the British protest last week on the execution of Nikola Petkov, Leader of the Peasant Party.
The Note declared that the Bulgarian Government could not recognise the right of any State to interfere in matters of Bulgarian law. It was not in the interest of an understanding between the two countries that Rritain should depict the Bulgarian Government as a dictatorship of a minority.
The Note expressed regret and astonishment that Britain had chosen the moment of signing the peace treaty to attribute to the Bulgarian Government "monstrous aims and intentions.”
