French Press Welcome

Paris, Mar. 7.

The press warmly welcomes Mr. Sumner Welles, American Under-Secretary of State, who is due here pt 930 am. from Switzerland. Newspapers describe him as Mr. Roosevelt's peace reporter.

President Albert Lebrun will receive the American diplomat this afternoon, and M. Edouard Daladier, the Premier, will entertain him at dinner. His full programme, how. ever, will not be arranged until after his arrival, but it is possible that he will visit the Maginot Line. Mr. Welles will leave Paris for London by plane on Sunday.—Reuter.
