Subject: ANTE PAVELIC

   I refer to the United States Political Adviser's memorandum on this subject of 29th July.

   H.M. Government are in full agreement that this man should be apprehended on the terms proposed by the United States State Department.

   They are moreover most anxious that no time should be lost in laying the plan. All details available on the British side are to be found in Rome and I am to ask that your representative should call at H.M. Embassy as soon as possible to concert action. He should contact Mr. Bendall in the first instance.
