Roosevelt to Baron Komura and Min
lister 4 kahira. the japanese commits
sioners. Mr.. Sato, minister resident to
the emperor of Japan, who is the Of

said however, that President ROOSe-
welt made no request for an armistice.
Inquiry was made of Mr.. SatO as to
the attitude of the Japanese on the
question of an armistfce and he re-
Piled:
Japan is perfectly willing to agree
to an armistice after the credentials OF
both commissions have been examined
and verified
The examination of credentials must
necessarily be the first duty Of the
peace delegates TO ascertain that all are
qualified to act in the capacity to which
they are represented. In the negotia-
tons for peace that ended the Chinese
war. I remember there was much delay
because the credentials of one of the
Chinese ENJOYS did not bear the en-
peror's seal granting him plenary
powers.
Armistice Is Probable.
However. I think an armistice will
be agreed upon after the commission
erS enter formally upon their work it
has been the custom in all peace ne
gotiations to cease hostilities during
the convention of peace plenipOtenti-
aries"
Mr.. SatO was asked as to the definite
powers of the members OF his commits
sion. and he said:
They have power To reject any pro-
pOsal and commit the Japanese govern
ment to any document they may sign,
subject, of course, to the sanction Of
the emperor"
The reports that China intended ask
ing an indemnity Mr. Sato had read
and regarding this he said:
China could not ask any indemnity
Of Japan. It was her inability or un-

Tonight Baron KOmUTa and his suite

Mr.. Sato commented upon the recep-
ton TO Secretary Taft in Toxic and said
he had read the reports with deep in
terest The fact that the historic
