WITHDRAW FRENCH
PEACE OBJECTIONS
Consent to Adoption of Sepa-
rate Pact Resolution.
FRENCH SEE A NEW LIGHT
Viviani and Senator Knox in Long
Conference-Paris Seeks Only the
Good Will of People of the
United States.

Washington, April 4-France, act
fng through her envoy extraordinary,
Rene Viviani, who is seeking the
moral support of America in the coll
lection of Preparations from Germany,
has withdrawn all objections to pas
sage of the Knox peace resolution ter
minating the technical state of war
with Germany. This became known
following a two-hour conference
which the French envoy had with Sen
ator Knox of Pennsylvania, author of
the peace resolution.
Won't Discuss Deliberations.
Neither NJ. Viviani nor Senator
Knox would comment upon the nature
of their deliberations, but from an I'M
questioned authority came this state
ment within an hour after the former
premier had left the Knox home:
'It may safely be assumed now that
the French mission will not press up
on this government any policy which
would lead to our continuance in
state of war with Germany while
France, England, Italy, Japan and
others enjoy all the advantages which
come from the relations renewed by
the advent of peace.
1.-THE good will of the people of the
United States is the matter of supreme
Importance for the French. In addi-
ton, it is admitted that whatever en-
barraSSments were feared in cOnnec-
tiOn with the PREPARATIONS problem
have been dispelled by the recent pro-
nouncement of the American govern
ment's attitude on the reparations
question.
Light DaWns on French.
Furthermore, in the reading of
prOviso five of the Knox resolution.
which until this time was little known
to the French, great light has
dawned upon them. While that APP
plies to aggression generally the
French people who know America best
see in that provisO their best guar
antee of American backing in any
cause of Righteousness.
"They wisely regard that provision
for American action on its own free
will as far more important than any
contract which could be written,
knowing the greater amount of energy
and devotion the Americans would put
upon the task before them under such
conditions"
The French envoy is scheduled to
meet Senator Knox tonight at the
home of Senator Mccormick, who is
giving a dinner for the visitor. Other
guests are to be the Republican men,
bers of the senate committee on for
eign relations which includes Senators
Knox, Johnson of California, Bran
degee of Connecticut, Borah of Idaho,
and Lodge of Massachusetts.
On Tuesday night President Hard
ing is entertaining for the French en-
voy at the White House. There again
Senator Lodge as chairman of the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations,
along with Representative Stephen G.
Porter of Pennsylvania, chairman of
the house committee on foreign af-
fairs, will be brought into touch with
the French emissary. Senator Lodge
himself will give dinner for the mis-
sion later In the week.
To Stand With Allies.
Reports that as a result of M.
Viviani's mission to this country the
State department has notified Berlin
of this governments intention to
stand with the allies in the matter of
Preparations were denied by high Of
fetal. Under the Colby administra-
ton, it was explained, Americas
views in this respect were cabled to
Loring Dresel, American commission
er at Berlin, for his own informant IN.
Dresel made them known to the Ger
man government. The attitude of the
government at that time is understood
TO have been the same as that of the
new administration-that Germany
must bear full responsibility for the
war and pay indemnity to the full ex-
tent of her ability.
The views of the former administra-
ton still obtain, it was explained,
and department officials declare there
Is no occasion for reaffirming Them
