Ambassador Griscom was told by Baron Komura to inform President Roosevelt that the Japanese government is satisfied with the selection of Washington as the place of negotiations. The Japanese government was cautious about the nature of the powers to be conferred on the plenipotentiaries, but the Japanese government has confidence in Roosevelt so they accept his interpretation of Russia’s intentions and will appoint plenipotentiaries with full negotiating powers. Those appointed will be of high rank and position and will have the confidence of his Imperial Majesty and the Japanese government.
