SOVIET SNEERS
SHIVERING NATIONS
PROTEST REGISTERED The Soviet Union's verbal casitigation—not, be it noted,, of Germany but of Bulgaria—for letting German troops overrun a second Balkan State without resistance, was regarded in London circles as an interesting, confirmation of the shallowness of Soviet-German cooperation. Officially, the British Government is completely silent. Unofficially, commentators had a good deal to say but the lesson drawn is much the same in every case. The Soviet intends to keep clear of embroilment; that the Soviet, having registered a protest, will leave Bulgaria to German occupation and will not. intervene. The Soviet declaration undoubtedly was a complete surprise in London diplomatic circles—a fact which scotches the idea held by seme that Sir Stafford Gripps, British Ambassador to Moscow,, told the Foreign Secretarj', Mr Anthony Eden, about it when he fl°w to Turkey.
