The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 29—12:05 p.m.]
7028. This noon Gousev came to see me and delivered a note from his Government thanking the American and British Governments for informing [Page 378] it about the conditions of Bulgarian surrender as worked out between our two Governments and informing us that his Government had decided not to take part in the discussion of the terms of Bulgarian surrender and was leaving it to the two Governments to decide this question. The note pointed out that this procedure corresponded exactly to that followed by the United States Government in declining to take part in discussing terms of Finnish armistice.39 Mr. Gousev told me that if our Government were to make changes in the draft armistice terms as they were forwarded from the EAC on August 25 he would appreciate my informing him informally of changes adopted.
