WASHINGTON. senator
Robert X. Reynolds 3D., n. c.
demanded Monday that william
c. Bullitt, u. s. ambassador TO
France, submit to an examina-
tion by the Senate foreign re-
latiOns committee concerning
statements he was alleged to
have made TO Count Jerry Po-
tocki, the Polish ambassador TO
the United States.
Reynolds also demanded that
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles make a full, detailed
statement regarding his Euro
pean fact-finding mission Tor
President Roosevelt.
WASHINGTON--Rep. Hamilton
Fish. R., N. Y. Monday introduced
q resolution calling for five-man
house investigation of the German
white book. which quoted Ameri-
can diplomats as informing the
Polish government that the United
States would assist in war against
Germany.
The resolution provided for a re-
port to the house within 80 days.
It directed particular ref
erence to statements alleged to
have been made by Ambassa-
doris civilian C. Bullitt and
tJoseph P.) Kennedy endan-
gering the peace, safety, inter-
est and neutrality of the
United States, and In violation
of official duty, the laws Of
our country, the spirit OF the
constitution, the practice in
our diplomatic service, and the
regulations established by the
state department"
Bullitt's and Kennedy's views
were quoted in reports alleged to
have been made by Polish diplo-
mats before the war
Fish said that the charges

should be investigated "in all
fairness to President Roose-
welt and our ambassadors In
Europe
IT cannot conceive that the Ger
man foreign office should fabri-
cate or forge documents, as 1t is
certainly in the interest of the
German government to maintain
peaceful relations with US, he
said.
Congress has no power to re-
call or dismiss any official in our
foreign service.
IF, upon investigation, the
facts warrant Impeachment of
any American ambassador or
minister, or even Of the presi-
dent, for making secret COM
mitments that might leopard
lie our neutrality and involve
us in war. then II Is the duty
of the house Of representa-
fives to initiate impeachment
proceedings"
