MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
Subject: Publicity of French Withdrawal
from Northkestern Italy.
It is possible that in your press conference to-
morrow you may be asked about the situation in North-
western Italy.
In the Agreement signed yesterday at Marshall
Alexander's headquarters, providing for the withdrawal
of French troops, it was specified that Alexander would
recommend to the British and American Governments that
no announcement be made on this matter.
In the absence of a specific French request, it
is the Department's feeling that any announcement from
our side might needlessly humiliate the French and serve
to keep open a painful subject which Te are anxious to
close.
Consequently I suggest that you decline comment on
this subject if it is brought up at the press conference.
