S DECLINES

(By Reuter's Diplomatic Correspondent)

MESSAGES FROM BERLIN AND ROME INDICATE THAT THE AXIS IS LOSING CONFIDENCE THAT BULGARIA WILL WELCOME THE “NEW ORDER” AND SUBSCRIBE UNHESITAT, INGLY TO NAZI LEADERSHIP BY SIGNING THE TRI-PARTITE PACT.

For the present the Axis partners will have to be satisfied with the accession of Hungary, Rumania and Slovakia.

So far as the practical, visible results are concerned the visits of M. Molotov (Soviet Foreign Commissar) and Senor Suner (Span- ish Foreign Minister) to Berlin might never have been made. In fact German propagan- da organs have ceased talking about them...

Nor is there any indica- tion of an intensification of Russo-German trade

relations,
