Government Folls
in War Crisis
BY The Associated Press

LONDON, Sept. ! - The Bull
garian government of Ivan Bag
rianov fell today shortly after
its failure TO win an easy way
out of the war by pleading neu-
trality and amid indications Of
far-reaching internal develop
ments within the Balkan king
dom.
simultaneously it was dis
closed that the European Advis-
DRY Commission had drafted
armistice terms for Bulgaria -
a demonstration of British
American-RuSsian Solidarity on
the terms. Russian armies were
pushing along the country's nor
thern frontier, ready to send
tank columns courSing across
her northern plains.
AT the same time rumors
spread throughout Europe that
Hungary was trying to contact
the Allies on armiStice terms.
With Romania already out Of
the Hitler lineup and negotiat-
ing in Moscow for terms on
witch she might join the Allies
as co-belligerent, Hitler's
southeastern front thus appear
ed to be falling apart in three
countries.
Berlin Immediately launched
a campaign of denials to contra
dict the rumorS that Hungary
was seeking a way out, but
Budapest itself was silent.
The Allied terms for Bulgaria
were kept secret, inasmuch as
they involve military opera
tons. But it was regarded as
certain that one condition would
demand the withdrawal of all
her troops to within her pre-war
border and the return TO Greece
and Yugoslavia of Macedonia
and Thrace, territories which
she gained in a bargain with
Hitler in 1871.
Removal of all Fascist ele-
ments from the Bulgarian gov
eminent was likely to be anoth-
er condition.
Bulgaria closed her border
with Turkey as the Red Army
massed on her frontier in Ro-
mania. DNB, official German
News Agency, then said in a
Berlin broadcast today that Ba-
grianov had announced resigna-
ton of his cabinet. He took Of

the long run for us to leave the
Eastern Hemisphere to Russia and
the British Commonwealth with
one proviso: This is that we insist
on free and open markets in Asia,
Africa and South America for our
products. To the extent these mar
kets are necessary to keep our peo-
pie employed. they must never be
shut against us. Secretary Hull has
the right solution for the postwar
employment problem.
Praises Secretary Hull
The gretest statesman in the
United States is Cordell Hull. He
alone holds the key both to world
peace and postwar employment l
wish he might be elected President
in November. Otherwise, if Mr..
Roosevelt insists upon running,
perhaps Mr.. Hull would consider
being Vice President AND Secre-
tary of State. There is no reason
why he could not hold both offices
Then. whether Roosevelt resigned
or continued in office, the coun-
try would be safe so long as Sec
rotary Hull is at the helm.
