WASHINGTON, Jan. 30—-'I‘he wel- come of the highest officials of the United States were extended today to Premier R. B. Bennett of Canada, first Canadian Premier to visit Washington 1n nearly four years. Highly informal in character his brief visit was regarded by United States officials as an opportunity for a full and frank discussion on Canada-States problems. Neither President Hoover or Secretary of Slate Stimson, however, had prepar- ed any preliminary data for their talks with Mr. Bennett, since there were no previous indications as to what the Premier would discuss.

'I'he list of those named to welcome the Canadian Chief of State includ- cd Canadian Location and High State Department officers. One. of the purposes of his visit was to in_ spect the Iogation for which he is expected to appoint a Minister soon to succeed Canada's Minister to Washington, Hon. Vincent Massey, who resigned recently. on account of the briefness of his visit his sched- ule was so arranged that he could conclude a. conference with Secret- ary Stimson during the afternoon be- fo1'e receiving the formal welcome of lércsident Hoover.

Photographers and newspaper-men waiting on the lawn behind the White House were disappointed when they discovered that after fifteen minutes conversation with the Pres- ident, the Prime Minister and his party had departed for the British Embassy. An hour later Secretary Stimson received Mr. Bennett st the State Department and I0 5.30 m. and I Mrs. Wrong gave a small tea. for the Prime Minister at the Legation.
