No SOVIET APPROVAL
OF MOVE BY GERMANS I INTO BULGARIA | — QUESTION NEVER RAISED. I I , TASS AGENCY STATEMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright i MOSCOW. January 12. A denial that rhe Soviet Union has consented to the entry of German troops into Bulgaria is contained in a statement by the Tass news agency broadcast by the Moscow radio. “We are authorised to state that if it is true that German troops have arrived and are still arriving in Bulgaria this is occurring without the consent of the Soviet Union, as Germany has never raised the question,” the statement said. The Soviet has decreed a widespread reorganisation and expansion of its local industries and an increase in the production of consumers' goods and foodstuffs because production lags behind the growing demands in most regions. BULGARIAN AIMS DETERMINATION TO UPHOLD INDEPENDENCE DECLARED BY’ PREMIER. SOFIA. January 12. The Premier. Professor Filoff, broadcasting to the Bulgarian nation, declared that the Government was determined to safeguard Bulgaria’s freedom and independence. There were no reasons, he said, for a change in foreign policy. He emphasised that Bulgaria was doing her utmost to stay out of the war. and added that Bulgarian revisionism had always been peaceful revisionism. Germany had taken no slops, he said, to bring Bulgaria tinder any form of foreign domination. The Sofia correspondent of “The Times" says that though Filofl' s speech was undoubtedly received with great satisfaction by moderate Bulgarian political circles, it brings strong criticism from the pro-Axis elements. Professor Filoff repeated his declaration that the National Socialist, Fascist and Communist systems of government were unsuitable for Bulgaria, though official German bulletins had previously attacked him for making this statement in Parliament. Professor Filoff described President Roosevelt’s Congress message as an "unquestionable sign that the present European conflict will develop into a long, gigantic world war.’ This is most significant at a time when German, propagandists in Sofia are asserting that Mr, Roosevelt's speech is unimportant and will not delay an Axis victory beyond 1941.
