Writh Russia and Japan tho United States has Inherited ties ot frlondslp and goodwill.

Tho president suggests that these peaco negotiations bo conducted directly and exclusively between tho belliger ents; In other words, that there may be a mcetiiig of Russian and Japaneso plenipotentiaries or delegates, without any Intermediary, In order to see If it Is not possible for these representa tives of tho two powers to agree to terms of peace.
