WASHINGTON, Nov. 19 (U. P.).—Senator Lewis (D. TL) and Senator Vandenberg (R. Mich.) today demanded explanation of a report that William C. Bullitt, American Ambassador to France, went to Poland to advise that country against joining the anti-Communist pact of Germany, Italy and Japan. Senator Lewis said an effort should be made to “ascertain the facts” from the

State Department. “Tt is inconceivable that the Ambassador to France would have plundered into such action,” he commented. Senator Vandenberg brought a

Foreign Minister Joseph Beck not |

to join the Italio-German-Japanese anti-Communist pact and added that it was reported that a Ambassador was acting under instructions from President Roosevelt. “After reports indicating that our roving Ambassador has been engaged in divers and sundry mysterious conferences with representatives of foreign Governments, followed by this amazing dispatch, it would appear that here is a thing that we ought to look into and find out what the facts are,” Senator Vandenberg said.

Neurath were to continue their talk on the train last night and this morning. Secrecy surrounded all talks at the Berghofl.
