Peace Negotiations Between China and Japan Likely To Shift
Diplomats say the czar’s illness diverts Russia from the eastern war and England and France are wary of Asia tie-ins. Germany may push a peace settlement with Japan seen as more eager to end the war, while China would gain by waiting for a stronger counter to Japanese victories. A proposed basis would recognize China's independence of Korea and require indemnities to Japan, a plan China resists due to pride and cost. Separately, Secretary Smith urges abrogating tribal treaties to end Indian Territory lawlessness and extend US jurisdiction, arguing self government has failed and federal control is needed. Governor Renfrew’s Oklahoma report favors consolidating territories to tilt white dominance.
