While President Roosevelt regretted Japan’s rejection of the Hague as the location of peace negotiations between Japan and Russia, he has notified Russia that the location will be Washington, D.C. He advises Japan to not demand an answer from Russia regarding the negotiating powers of their plenipotentiaries, as Russia used the same language Roosevelt did which was already vetted by Japan. Even if Russia does not give its representatives full negotiating power, it would not give Japan grounds to refuse to meet.
