Paria Aug 11 The Japanese peace terms publicly released by the Associated Press from Portsmouth are seen by officials as likely to be softened. Japan may relax some demands to aid Russia’s acceptance and avoid excessive war expense indemnities. Disputes may arise over Sakhalin, fishing rights, interned ships, and Far East naval limits, but mutual concessions could smooth settlement. Mediation could be used if talks stall, though progress exists as negotiators seek peace. Russian stocks hold steady as diplomats stay reticent awaiting firmer moves.
