VV|AN EXPRESSES
GRATITUDE TO US.
Here to Gather 0pinio..s, He
Says, in First Public
Statement.

Rene Viviani. former premier of
France, in statement today to the
Associated Press, said the pur-
pose of his visit to the United
States was to sound public
opinion in America and inform
the American PEOPLE of conditions
in France.
The French envoy expressed
qualification at the sentiment ia,
vorabie to France he had observed
in conferences with leading pub
lie officials about the legal and
political discussions which in
volved the treaty of peace"
The statement of the former French
premier was the first he has made since
his arrival in the United States in which
the purpose of his mission was SCI
forth. In connection with his confer.
ences here n. Vfvianf said he had au.
thorized no one to state conclusions
he had drawn. presumably having ref.
erence to dispatches published abroad
purporting to outline his views.
M. Viviani's statement was care
fully prepared in French. and the fol.
lowing is translation of it:

which is to inform the American peo-
pie Of the condition of E.rance and to
inform himself concerning American
opinion.
He has observed with deep feeling
in the course of the legal and political
discussions which involved the treaty
of peace a unanimous sentiment
favorable to France, for which, in
present difficulty. all America has pre-
served its affection.
I'm the course of these different
discussions and for the sole purpose

ferees the elements of good and evil
in them all. 1t should be clearly un-

would think of attributing to him

cuSSionS which though drawn are not

The impression which NJ. Viviani
has brought away from these confer
ences and which has been no surprise

of America, and NJ. Viviani
