that the progress Of the world Is set
back by the war between these two great
nations.
"The president accordingly urges the
Russian and japanese governments not
only for their own sakes but in the in
terest of the whole civilized world to
open direct negotiations for peace with
on- another.
THE president suggests that these
peace negotiations be conducted directly
and exclusively between the belligerents:
In other words. that there may be a meet
ing OF Russian and japanese plenipoten-
tiaries or delegates without any inter-
med,ary. in order 10 see II Il Is not pos

powers 20 agree 20 terms Of peace.
The president earnestly asks that the
Russian tJapanese) government do now
agree TO such n meeting. and Il asking
