about this desired result, nevertheless IT
is taken as being certain that Japan
would not be likely to accept these terms.
Japan is determined that whatever
terms are offered they shall be such as
to ensure lasting peace andplegsnt Rus
sia from again disturbing Manchuria.
The terms mentioned would not ensure
such pe.manence Of quiet.

Russia all tended in the direction Of con-
tinuing the war. There 10 no real indi-
cation that Russia is desreus for peace.
