SAYS M. V|v|AN| WILL ENTERTAIN
 PEACE PROPOSAL
Republican A. p. Leased wIre1

WASHINGTON, March 24-While the visit of Rene Viviani, former French premier and special envoy to the United States, is announced offi- cially as 'one of courtesy" to President Harding, Dr. Marcel Knecht, his gen eral secretary who arrived today, stated M. Viviani was prepared to give a receptive ear to any proposals by the United States regarding the peace settlement and the league of nations.
 Niviani will make no specific over lures toward American participation in European affairs. particularly as affecting Germany it was stated. and unless the subject is initiated by Presi- dent Harding or the state department, he is expected to return home after having discharged the officially an- nouneed purpose of his mission. He lis expected Sunday or Monday.
 In emphasizing NJ Viviani was bringing no concrete proposal to offer the United States with respect to it's relations with France and Europe, Dr. knecht stated that the envoy was ac- companied by no experts or advisers and although it had been reported Stephen Lauzanne was attached to the mission officially, the journalist was coming only as a representative of I4e Matin.
 In diplomatic circles it is believed
 
 occasion propitious for an informal discussion of the attitude of the new administration toward the peace set clement, he would be ready to receive the proposals of President Harding for transmission to France. They should be studied by the French foreign of flee, it was suggested, and 1t might then be made incumbent on him to re- turn again to the United States. Although it was announced by Dr. Knecht that NJ Viviani would visit the United States as an envoy extraordi- nary with the rank of ambassador, il was learned that no special arrange ments have been made for the French officials reception similar to those which attended his visit in 1909. The state department had previously an nounced that Assistant Secretary of i State Bliss would meet the envoy. but lit was said later ffrfs order had been withdrawn.
 The French ambassador. Jules Jusse- rand. however, will go to New York | for this purpose.

DECLARES GOMPERS SUPPORTS VIEW OF
 RUSSIAN LAbORITES

NEW YORK, March 24.-G. B. Stroomillo, Russian labor leader, Wno arrived here this week and conferred yesterday with Samuel Gompers, pres ident of the American Federation or Labor, tonight issued statement re- garding conditions in his country. He quoted MT. Gompers as upholding the position taken by Russian labor against bolshevism, and promising Stroomillos arguments about the dis tressing experiences of working men and peasants would be distributed throughout this country.
 MT. Gompers, the Russian lapor leader said. authorized him to say that the labor movement in the United States would not give counte- nance to bolshevism, and that the la bor movement stood for the right or the Russian people to exercise their function to determine their form or government"
 Mir. Stroomillo is a member of the Metal Workers union of the Perm dis trict and was delegated by the trade unions of the Ural to proceed to other countries to warn labor against bol- shevist principles. He said he is pre- pared to show that the conditions of the working men under the bolshevist dictatorship system of militarization of labor are even worse than those of the peasants. While the greater part of the Russian peasantry is out of reach of the bolshevist dictatorship, the Rus sian working class as a whole is the immediate sufferer.
 The statement by Secretary Hoover declaring that the trade treaty con Britain is not a trade treaty, but pure ly a political move by the bolsheviki and Great Britain. was praised by Mir. Stroomillo.
