The appearance of DIR. Carlos Lopez
Bustamanti. Venezuelan editor, who has,
he says, evidence of German plots
against the United States in Venezuela,
was awaited today by State Department
officials with more than n passing de-
gree of interest. Aside from newspaper
reports that DIR. Bustamanti was in
Washington with evidence that Germans
were operating a submarine base in the
South American country the department
was not officially aware Of his presence
in this country.
The state Department quite frankly
admitted that it knew nothing of the
Venezuelan editor, who, up to noon, had
made no effort to communicate with the
department. 1t was made plain. how
ever. that sny evidence he might have
to lay before officials would be gratefully
received. as the situation in Venezuela,
as well as certain others of the South
American countries. has been attracting
the attention of the State Department.
