107. This Government assumes the friendly relations between Bulgaria and the United States will continue in spite of the necessity which has arisen for the United States to sever relations with Germany. If uncertainty seems to exist you should endeavor to convince Bulgarian authorities that it is for the mutual interest of Bulgaria and the United States to avoid the suspension of the friendly relations which have always existed between the two countries.
