| FOR the attainment of which that power
| Is SO often and so successfully en-
ployed. One of the noblest of these
aims is the establishment of peace and
friendship among nations, and it is to
| the pralseworthy efforts of the people
| OF the United States in this direction
that my visit to the new world is attrib-
| utable. For it is in compliance with
the American peoples desire for peace,
Of which President Roosevelt was the
authorized exponent, that his majesty,
the czar, has empowered me to come
hither and ascertain the conditions
which our gallant adversary deems nee
essary and adequate as a basis for
peace negotiations.
Il need hardly point out that it is
my ardent desire that the two chival-
rous foes, who first became acquainted
on the field Of battle, may have found
In each others sterling qualities mo-
tlVes powerful enough to cultivate that
acquaiatanceship until it ripens into
lasting friendship. Meanwhile, how
ever, the terms offered must first be
ascertain ed, weighed and judged ad-
missable by Russia before she can pro-
ceed to fosmal negotiations.
Hitherto, as you are aware, it was
customary In cases like this to settle
all such pr9liminaries before the meet
ing Of the plenipotentiaries, whose task
it was to come to final agreement on
the matters under discussion. Now the
very fact that his majesty, the czar,
consented to take a course involving
departure from this ancient diplomatic
usage and to appoint mission to learn
the nature of our brave enemy's terms,
is an eloquetlt token of the friendly
feeling which he and his subjects con-
tinue to cher sh toward the people of
the United States. | say continue to
cherish, because at no epoch in our
history have our traditional relations
with this great republic been other than
cordial.
"And now I should like to say aye
and to prove 10 your people who live
less in the past than in the present and
the future, that it is the fervent wish
Of the emperor and the people of Rus
sia further to strengthen the ties of
friendship which have hitherto suhsist-
ed between the two nations.
"It Is in virtu. of that sincere de-
sire that his majesty, the czar, waiv-
ing all other considerations, has un-
hesitatingly accepted the cordial in
vitation Of your first citizen and genial
leader And if my mission should
prove in all other respects barren ami
the endeavor to find common basis
for peace negotiations should fail for
the time being, the signal proof OF
friendship given by his majesty, the
czar, and the Russian nation would
still stand out as memorable event,
fraught, trust, with far reaching and
benefcent results to the two great peo-
pies of the west and the east"
