Suggestion That the Two Nations Get
Together Came In Identical Note from
President Roosevelt Thursday.
Peace Is in sight. Russia and Japan
have adopted President Roosevelt's suR-
gestion and will appoint representatives
for the purpose OF discussing the terms
upon which to base a settlement Of the
issues involved in the war in the Far
East. While these preliminary negotia-
lions do not necessarily mean that HOSTILE
ties viii end at once, such is pretty GER
tain to be the case
On Thursday Of last week President
Roosevelt sent to the japanese and Rus
sian governments. through diplomatic
channels, the following despatch:
The President feels that the time has
come when in the interest Of all mankind
he must endeavor to see IL it is not posi-
bic to bring to an end the terrible and
lamentable conflict now being waEed.
With both Russia and Japan the United
States has inherited ties Of friendship
and good will. It hopes for the prosperity
and welfare Of each. and it feels 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
one 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-
tartes or delegates without any interme-
diary In order TO see II II is not possible
for these representatives Of the two
powers to agree to terms OF peace. The
President earnestly asks that the Japan
csc (Russian) government do now agree
TO such meeting, and Is asking the Rus
sian (Japanese) government likewise to
agree
While the President does not feel that
any intermediary should be called in in
respect to the peace negotiations them
selves, he is entirely willing to do what
he properly can IL the two powers con-
eerned feel that his services viii be OF
aid in arranging the preliminaries as to
the time and place Of meeting. But II
even these preliminaries can be arranged
directly between the two powers or in
any other way. the President win be glad.
as his sole purpose is TO bring about a
meeting which the whole civilized world
VIII pray may result in peace.
Both governments Immediately siguihed
their willingness TO appoint plenipotenti-
aries to consider terms OF peace.
