Mr. Alexander C. Kirk, Political Adviser to the Supreme Allied Commander, Mediterranean Theater, to the Secretary of State
[Received November 3—6:30 p.m.]
4041. SACMED has instructed Admiral Stone to be prepared to act as follows. He is to show Italian Prime Minister SAC’s comments contained in commentary (see our 4013, November 1, 6 p.m.) but not SACMED’s covering remarks. Stone is also to notify Parri that CCS (reference our 4025, November 2)3 may not consent to publication of commentary as it stands at present, but in SACMED’s opiniotn it will be published substantially as represented. Stone accordingly is to invite Prime Minister’s views on commentary particularly in order to ascertain whether any changes in wording of commentary would be helpful to Italian Government. Should SAC desire Stone to carry out these instructions he will be so informed by AFHQ.
