Peace movement shows progress toward Pacific proposal
Reports from St Petersburg indicate a forthcoming Russian offer to end the war if Japan accepts a basis for peace. The plan, discussed at Tsarkoe Selo, faces opposition from grand dukes and some ministers but is favored by the czar’s government with French and German influence backing negotiations through diplomats in Paris or Tokyo. Russia would resist cession and indemnity but could offer collateral concessions including assets from Port Arthur and Dalny, railway rights, or fisheries in exchange.
