A review of Bulgaria’s wartime paradoxes citing M. Guechoff, former prime minister, noting Bulgaria’s unusual postwar status. The piece discusses the discrepancy between defeated nations’ aims and outcomes, Germany’s potential postwar plans, and remaining hopes of discord affecting America and Teutonic strategies.
The article argues that Bulgaria seeks more than clemency or reward after siding with Germany, claiming her aim was territory with Bulgarian majorities and a broader national victory through allied restraint. It concludes that the allied victory promotes stability for Bulgaria and neighbors, while Bulgaria bears part of the future indemnity.

The government orders the committee on cotton distribution to curb undue speculation and ban short selling across exchanges. The move aims to counter artificial price depression by speculators while allowing natural market forces to set fair levels based on actual demand and delivery. It suggests that only the speculator would suffer, while growers could benefit from steadier prices and stimulated production.
