Washington, June 11.-An identical
note, the text of which, by authority
Of the president, was made public late
last night at the White House by Sec
rotary Loeb, has been forwarded to
the governments of Russia and Japan
by President Roosevelt.
In the interest of humanity the pres
iden. urges the warning nations to
conclude peace. 1t is suggested by
the president that the negotiations for
peace be Conducted directly and ex-
clusively" between the belligerent ma
, tons.
The note indicates the presidents
belief that an Intermediary may not
be necessary to effect conclusive neSo-
tiations, but likewise expresses the
presidents willingness 10 do all that
he properly may to promote the pre-
liminary arrangements foT time and
place for the meeting of representa-
tives of the Russian and Japanese gov
ernments.
Note Delivered Direct.
The note was forwarded to the Rus
sian and Japanese governments Thurs
day afternoon. 1t is rendered espe-
cially significant by the fbct that it
| was prepared and sent only after as
surances had been received from To-
llio and ST. Petersburg that such a
proposition would be welcomed. While
both Count Cassini, the Russian am
bassador, and Minister Takahira, the
Japanese representative, were cog
infant of the nature of the note. it was
ments through them. 1t was cabled
by direction of the president to St.
F, Petersburg and Toxic, and there de-
livered directly to the Russian and
Japanese governments, respectively,
, by Ambassador Meyer and Minister
Griscom. In addition to the assur-
ances received by the president from
with the car, and from Minister Girls
com. who had conferred with the mi
kado's government. the
| President had Indicated
! to the representatives Of the two gov
ernments at this capital his intention.
He also discussed the subject with
representatives of other important
powers accredited to this capital.
While no intimati of the attitude as
sume6 toward the proposition by
either Ambassador Cassinl or Minister
Takahiro is obtainable. it is known
that other diplomats with whom the
president conferred, cordially Endorsed
his intention.
A formal reply to the rote may not
be received for several days, but, as
already made clear, formal assurances
that it would be welcome are at hand.
Significant of the character of the doc
ument and the attitude toward 1t
which both Russia I. I'd Japan have as
sumed, it is regarded in official and
diplomatic circles as the firm and de-
cisive step toward ultimate peace.
