Peace talks drift toward August meeting in Washington
Reports from Washington indicate a peace plenipotentiary conference may open in August with Takahira and Casini coordinating from Boston and Washington. Roosevelt aims for swift selection of envoys, while actual treaty terms likely won’t be discussed before mid August. Takahira seeks a summer home and possible meeting site. Russia signals similar planning.
Diplomatic Plenipotentiaries to Seek Direct Talks
In diplomatic circles the plenipotentiaries will act with free hand and appeal to the President only for outside help if a point of difference arises. Russia’s war party activity causes no alarm, as the President has dealt directly with the Emperor and Count Lamadorff serves only as a channel. It is believed the Emperor will remain firm and willing to discuss peace with Japan in good faith and earnest effort.
