London, Feb. 14.
Mr. Rodu Florescu, Rumanian Charge d'Affaires here and Mr. D. Dimanesco, press attache, who were to have returned to Rumania upon the rupture of diplomatic relations between Great Britain and Rumania on February 10, have tendered their resignations to the Rumanian government, it was learned today.—Domei.
Ankara, Feb. 15.
The view was expressed here that if the Yueoslav Ministers declined to state definitely to Herr Hitler whether or not their country would move in the event of a German advance in the Balkans, German plans for the occupation of Bulgaria probably would have to be postponed until the spring at least.
It was pointed out in Turkish circles that from German troops at present in Rumania only about ten or 12 divisions could be spared for the occupation of Bulgaria. That would be insufficient to establish an effective front at Salonika, it was thought.
Moreover, extra risks would be taken by the Germans if they sent a small army into Bulgaria without being certain of Yugoslavia and Turkey on Bulgaria's flanks.—Reuter.
