The British Foreign Office\nstates that it is not anxious to relieve Franco of his\nembarrassment in connection with the disposition of\nLaval. The British will for the time being adhere to\nthe position that Laval should be surrendered directly\nto the French Government.\nFUTURE STATUS OF POLISH CORPS IN ITALY. General\nAnders, Commander of the Polish armed forces under the\nLondon Government, has recalled to SAC Churchill's agree-\nment in principle that the Corps in Italy should, after\nthe end of hostilities there, be transferred to Germany\nto unite with other Polish forces in the occupation of\nGermany. Alexander's reply was indefinite but he stated\nthat the Polish Corps could probably be spared from Italy\nwithin a few weeks. Anders also asked that a small group\nof Polish officers be attached to the 15th Army group in\norder to care for Poles in Austria and Northern Italy.\nAlexander pointed out delicacy of this question but prom-\nised to give it further consideration.\nALLIED REPRESENTATIVES IN VIENNA. The Soviet Foreign\nOffice has replied to our representations regarding the\nwithdrawal of permission for our representatives to pro-\nceed to Vienna. The reply maintains that the Soviet Govern-\nment has not and does not object to our representatives\nproceeding to Vienna to participate in the control machinery\nbut states that agreement to their proceeding was given in\nthe expectation that EAC would have decided upon the zones\nof occupation. The Soviet Government cannot accept a pro-\nposal to transfer consideration of occupation zones to\nVienna.\nVENEZIA GIULIA. Allied capitulation continues to the\nYugoslavs in Venezia Giulia. AFHQ has put a bold face on\nit to the Italians and ordered that Bonomi not be told AMG\nhas not yet been established there. East of the Isonzo,\nYugoslav military government is in full swing.\nKirk"
