The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State

London, September 6, 1944—9 p.m.
[Received September 6—8:45 p.m.]

7287. In discussing the Russian declaration of war against Bulgaria with Sir Orme Sargent,66 we were told that last night as soon as word of the declaration had been received, instructions were sent to Clark Kerr to press the Soviet Government for information on the steps it intends to take with reference to Bulgaria. As Sir Orme pointed out, this information is urgently needed to clear up, among other things, what is to be done now about the proposed armistice negotiations with Bulgaria.
