Kaiser Surest* . T. R. as Mediator in Russ-Jap War Poosevclt arns of Possible Danger From Japs to Philip pines and Pacific Coast. ... C«»|»yrl*ht, 1935. .f** Noosevelt followed the* n«WR or the Russian-Japan**** war with avid Interest until the time came to launch IDs peace proposals.) THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON June 5, ISOS. Confidential Only you and Nannie must see this. Hear Cahof: While we had thought that the probabilities favored Togo's victory, most of us. and certainly I, had thought that the fight would be close, that there was some chance for the Russians, and that at least there would tie a. terrible battering of the Japanese .ships. No one an ticipated that it would he a rout and a slauchter, rather than a fight: that the Russian fleet would be absolutely destroyed, while the Japanese fleet was left practically uninjured. roth Takahirn (Japanese minister! and Cassini (Russian ambassador) came to see me shortly after the fight. The Japanese evidently want peace, but only if they can get It pretty nearly on their own terms. The Russian^ hitherto seen) helpless ly and suddenly unable to decide f what they want or how they are to • get anything if they do want it. At the Japanese government's request, but to use their own expression "on initiative —that is, they desired (lie request made, hut desired that it should be on my own motion and that they should not in any shape or way appear as asking it (and you are the only human being who knows that they have asked me except Krilth. though 1 shall have to In the end tell both John Hay and Tafti—I told Cassini to any to the cam- lhat 1 believed the war absolutely hope less for Russia; that I earnestly de sired that she and Japan should come together and see If they could not agree upon terms of peace; and that I should like to propose this If I could get the assent of Russia and then of Japan, which latter I thought I would be able to get. I could not he sure that Cassini would tell this td the czar, for he Is afraid of say ing what is disagreeable to his su periors; but I hardly know what to do else. Meanwhile I had found that (iermany and France were both anx ious that ]>eaoe should be made, and both agreed with me as to how the first steps should be taken. Takahlra had also seen Speck (Her man Ambassador von S(ernberg>. and I think that one result—probably of an unexpected kind as far as the Japanese were concerned—appeared in the action of Ihe kaiser as set forth in a cable to me: tThe pre*!U«*nt here pnotes the historic '■'title in which the kHlser tet|s nt urging 'he > -ttir to make pen. p with Jannn and seek Itoo ovelt's mediation.

Roosevelt *ent the text nf this ''■'hieeram in 'he Herman French end British represent a tix-es in Washington). T do not believe there Is much chance of this bringing about peace, for I suppose the ezar, who seems in a thorougtdy Chinese mood, will re fuse to do anything. If he does, then all T ran say is that Jiis blood must be on his own head. In a few months, more or less—certainly In a year or so—the Japanese will take every Rus sian army or fortress on the I’aclfie slope, and will practically drive Rus- | sia east of Lake Baikal. In any event, I have done what I could to help toward peace. (The following n.tragraph refers to Sir H. M. Durand. British ambassmlnr t lie is a high-minded, conscientious public servant and I like him person ally. But he is very slow. In this crisis he has away at Lenox—which I have been glad of as O'Beirne is a really much more satisfactory man through whom to act. Do not do any (hing to hurt Durand, and do not ex press any opinion unless It Is asked for: hut If either tire King or Lana downe should ask as to what man we would think best, you might dwell upon the good qualities of Spring Rice. The only thing is, remember to he cautious, so that they cannot hold us responsible for making Springy a sucress. With love to Nannie, I am. In great haste. Ever yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Hon. H. C. Lodge. Care Coutis & Co., Bankers, London, England. tin a postscript to the above letter President Rooseveti recounts some anec dotes, already published, of the negotia tions between himself and Ihe diplomat* nf Russia and Japan. He remarks That the Russians are Insineero and Irpacher ou«. a rut tells how cautious the Japanese he. \e been in Iryiqg to sound out Kng land's attitude toward a Russo Japanese pence. The remainder of the postscript follows.) I have no doubt that some Japa nese, and perhaps a great many nf them, will behave badly to foreign ers. They cannot behave worse than the slate of California, through Its legislature. Is now behaving toward the Japanese. The feeling on the Pa cific slope, taking it from different standpoints, ts as foolish as If con reived‘by the mind of a Hottentot. These Pacific coast people wish gross ly to Insult the Japanese and to keep out the Japanese immigrants on Ihe ground that they are an Immoral, degraded and worthless rare: and at ihe same time that they desire lo do this for the Japanese and are al leady doing It for the Chinese they expect to be given advantages in ori ental markets; and with besotteil folly are indifferent to building up the navy while provoking this formidable new power—a power jealous, sensi tive and warlike, and which if irri tated could at once take both the Philippines and Hawaii from us if she obtained the upper hand on the seas. Most certainly the Japanese soldiers and sailors have shown them selves to he terrible foes. There can he none more dangerous in all the Horizontal. 1. Tender feeling. 6. Races or strains. 11.

At present we are su perior to them in number of ships, and this superiority will last for some time. It will, of course, come to an end if Hale has his way, but not oth erwise. I hopa that we can persuade cur people on the one hand to act in a spirit of generous justice and genuine courtesy toward Japan, and cn the other hand to keep the navy respectable in numbers and more than respectable in the efficiency of Us units. If we act thus we need not fear the Japanese. But if as Brooks Adams says, we show our selves ‘'opulent, aggressive and un armed.” the Japanese may some time work its an injury. In any event we can hold our own in the future, whether against Japan or Germany, whether on the Atlantic or the Pa cific. only if we occupy the position 9f the just man armed—that is, if we do the exact reverse of what the demagogues on the one hand and the mugwumps on the other would like to have us do.
