STILL AN OPTIMIST
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT’S ENVOY PEACE DESIRED BY PEOPLES. PRESS AND OTHER COMMENT IN FRANCE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (.Received This Day, 1.15 p.m.) LONDON, March G. The colleagues of Mr Sumner Welles, President Roosevelt's envoy, describe him as still an. optimist. He is embarking on the second stage of his European tour believing that there is still hope provided a war of devastation is delayed. This is the sole clue to Mr Welles's reactions, but he is believed to be impressed by the fact that peoples, as distinct from their leaders, desire peace. In the course of a Press conference al Lausanne, Mr Welles declared that he would not convey any official information from one government to another, reserving everything for President Roosevelt. ’ Mr Welles arrives at Paris on March 3. A French spokesman, anticipating his arrival, studiedly pointed out that a peace move would be premature,' which sentiment the Press echoes, but more strongly.
