SOFIA--Premier Bogdan Filoff said today that the war threatens to envelop the entire world as result of President Roosevelt's pledge of all-out aid to Britain.
He asserted that Bulgaria, wedged in between large German and Turkish troop concentrations, was determined to defend its interests and freedom by force of arms if necessary, although the primary objective of Bulgarian policy still is to keep out of the war.
The Premier, in a nationally broadcast address, told his people they must forever be ready to fight unless they wish to be "doomed to slavery." In his speech, however, were several friendly and complimentary references to the great powers" Germany and Italy.
