The Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs to the Prime Minister of New Zealand

17 December 1941

My telegram of 15 December (No. 19).

A reply has been received from His Majesty's Ambassador at Washington advising that the only report so far received from the United States Minister at Sofia1 is that the declaration of war on both Great Britain and the United States of America has been announced in the Bulgarian Parliament, and that he is expecting to receive official confirmation at any moment. Meanwhile the Minister is already handing over to Switzerland the British and United States interests in Bulgaria.
