Hermann Speck von Sternburg relays information from Berlin. A “speedy conclusion of peace” would have advantages for Russia, according to the British ambassador. Count Vladimir Lamsdorff agrees. Speck von Sternburg believes that these talks have been carried out “without knowledge of the law.” Speck von Sternburg’s people are also “anxious” to know Japan’s views on the peace talks.
