The Bulgarian Cabinet crisis, brought to a head by the
resigna- tion of M. Radoslavoff, may, as stated in a Sofia telegram trans- mitted by Amsterdam on June 18th, be due merely to differences of opinion on questions of internal policy. But the chorus of in- sistence on this view of the situation, raised by the leading German journals, indicates a genuine anxiety. Berlin is assured by the Press that Bulgaria's foreign policy, " which M. Radoslas off, with the King's powerful support, pursued with so much success for the country, remains unchanged." It is further anticipated that he will be unanimously elected President of the Sobranjo " in testimony to Bulgaria's fidelity to the Central Powers." Here the German Press seems to be telling King Ferdinand what is expected of him—so earnestly that its fear of a Bulgarian secession from the Central Powers is undisguised. No doubt its anxiety will be soothed by the appointment as Premier of M. Malinoff, formerly a Russophile, but now presumably as good a Prussian as King Ferdinand himself.
