-3- #6729, July 4, 5 p.m., from London. in other countries for trial. I have taken position all except international cases are beyond terms of my author- ity and except to advise my own Govt whether we have ob- jections in any case, the question of surrender prisoners is not before us. This is likely to become very delicate problem as demands probable for surrender persons who are not war criminals but politically objectionable. You will need to decide what terms to impose and what showing will be required of criminality. As suggested cable to Grew re Czechoslovakian demand for turn-over of Frank a uniform x317 policy needed as to all prisoners and demands from all countries. Glad help on this any way experience thought useful and to receive instructions if I have construed my authority too narrowly. Have kept Rosenman informed. Have consulted Clay on details concerning trial and matter affecting control commission work. Can cable to you whole Russian proposal if desired but in view the necessity to know interpretation in order understand it have not thought useful.
