Cabinet Busting

Out again, in again, out again, in again: such was the nerve wracking experience of Prime Minister Andrei Liapchev, during the past fortnight (TIME, Sept. 17).

Last week his twice fallen Cabinet was reformed, after Tsar Boris had called to his palace and rebuked quarreling, cabinet busting politicians.

To them His Majesty said in effect, according to reliable reports:

"You must support the Cabinet of M. Liapchev, must! It is necessary that financiers abroad shall not think that the Bulgarian Cabinet is always falling, or they will not lend us the money for which we can give good and safe security."

Keen, well informed observers of Bulgaria deemed that Tsar Boris, able, potent, had spoken the exact truth. Bulgarian security is good and the country sound, despite frequent cabinet upsets, which always seem to end in a resumption of power by Prime Minister Andrei Liapchev.
