4.  In addition, to covering the military and political considerations, I obtained directly
from Bishop Andre the promisse that he would arrange the Synod all the necessary propaganda
against Germany, in favor of the Allies (particularly the U.S.), either in support of the present
government favourable to the Allies, or in support of a new government favorable to the Allies
which might be formed by Monsieur Balabanoff under a coup d'etat.  There were two conditions
to Biship Andre's promise: first, that Monseigneur Stephan (President of the Synod) should be the
president of the new Regency, if a new Regency were established, and second, that Monseignur
Neofit should be one of the Regents and hold the position of tutor to the King.  To enable the first
step to be taken without further delay, I personally provided Bishop Andre with the necessary
credits through my former banking connections in Bulgaria.  Should, however, the program be
continued by direction of the Allies, any necessary further expenditures would, of course, be
beyond my means and funds must be available from U.S. government sources.
     5.  To summarize, while the Balkan situation has changed greatly since my discussions
with Monsieur Balabanoff and Bishop Andre, I still feel it is possible to accomplish the
withdrawal of Bulgaria from the Axis, either by persuasion or by a coup d'etat, and in either case,
the support of the Church, which I have arranged, would practically assure popular acceptance of
the new government.  Any policy directed to these ends, however, must be flexible and adjustable
to changes in general political situation and it is, of course, essential that any such policy be
agreed to in advance by the United States, Great Britiain and Russia.  In so far as Russia is
concerned, I should add that the Russian Ambassador to Turkey informed Monsieur Balabanoff
that he knew of my conversations with him and that he wished to advise him to go ahead quickly
and complete the arrangements which the United States were trying to make through me.
     If I can be of any further service, you have only to command me.
