Baron Takahira has received a telegram which details the Imperial Japanese Government’s position on peace negotiations now that their navy has beaten the Russian navy. The Imperial Japanese government thinks the peace negotiation should be limited to the belligerents and to friendly assistance of a neutral country. President Roosevelt is the choice of the Imperial Japanese Government and they will allow him to choose the place of negotiations, the procedures, and the attendance of any other powers. The Imperial Japanese Government will not approach the Russian government directly or indirectly to talk about peace.
