Associated Press Staff Wrlter I

WASHINGTON, May l2--(A.Pi—- Allied radios pounded the peoples of Axis satellites tonight with a pre-invasion ultimatum to turn against Germany now or abandon all hope of saving themselves from "disastrous consequences."

Issued jointly by Great Britain the United States and Russia. the ultimatum was directed alike to Finland. with which the United States is not at un-ir: to Bulgaria. with which Russia is not nt war. and to Hungary find Romania.

The United States government thereby apparently served notice on the people of fitillmd that ii. has reached the end of its policy of setting them apart from the other German collaborators. sis apparently intended the same kind of warning to the people of Bulgaria.

"These nations must decide now.“ the ultimatum said. “whether they intend to persist in their resent. hopeless and calamitous no icy of opposing the inevitable Allied vic- tory. while there is yet time for contrlbuteio that Allied.
