WASHINGTON, March 30.

A declaration that the United States was opposed to any compromise by the democracies with the totalitarian States and also a promise that the United States would ultimately go to war on the side ,of Britain and France were contained in'a bundle of documents which Herr Hitler's Foreign Office handed to United States pressmen. The spokesman alleged that the documents were found in the Polish Foreign Office when the Nazis entered Warsaw. He declared that they proved that Mr. Roosevelt had been involved absolutely in bringing about the present war. The accusation was a bombshell for Americans. Newspaper correspondents say that most of the documents appeared to be confidential Polish records, involving not only President Roosevelt but also the United States Ambassadors Messrs. J. P. Kennedy (London), W. C. Bullitt (Paris), A. J. Biddle (Warsaw), and high American, naval and army officers. VEHEMENCE AGAINST GERMANY. In the forefront of the bundle was a report which the Polish Ambassador in Washington, Count Potocki, is alleged to have sent to Warsaw concerning a conversation with Mr. Bullitt in November, 1938. "Mr.- Bullitt expressed himself regarding Germany and Hitler with, the greatest vehemence and with strong hatred," the report stated. Asked how he pictured the opening of the war, Mr. Bullitt is alleged to haye declared that above all the United States, Britain, and France must arm tremendously in order to show a fist to Germany. The democracies desired to get Germany involved in a weakening war with Russia, after which the democracies would attack Germany and compel her capitulation. The United States would unquestionably participate in such a war, but only after the Allies had bestirred themselves. ALLEGED U.S. ATTITUDE. Another report purported to .be concerned with a subsequent conversation between Count Potocki and Mr. Bullitt in wfiich the latter outlined an exact definition by Mr. Roosevelt of the "United States standpoint fo. presentation" to the French and British Foreign Offices. "First, Mr. Roosevelt sharply and unequivocally condemns the totalitarians," it was declared; "secondly, that the United States war preparations be increased in tempo to- cost the colossal sum of £313,000,000; thirdly, Mr. Roosevelt is firmly of the opinion that Britain and France must .end' every policy of compromise. with the totalitarians and must not enter any discussions concerning, territorial changes; fourthly, he gave a moral assurance that the United States would desert her policy of isolation and be prepared to participate actively with the Allies and, in the event of war, place her entire financial and material resources at their disposal." NEED FOR AID TO POLAND. An alleged report from the Polish commercial attache in London reviews a conversation with Mr. Kennedy in June, 1939, in which, Mr. Kennedy promised to see Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Halifax immediately to, insist on the necessity for helping Poland without delay with money to build up the Polish armaments. An alleged report from the Polish military attache in London in August, 1938, states that the United States naval attache said: '.'The United States is ideologically completely on tho side of the democracies and is studying the best ways of rapidly assisting Britain and.France instead of allowing the years to pass similarly to the last war. German penetration in South America is intolerable to the United States."
