Both Russia and Japan seem to be hesitating on the appointment of plenipotentiaries until they know the other’s appointments. To surmount this obstacle, George von Lengerke Meyer suggests that Russia sends the name of their potential plenipotentiaries to President Roosevelt, which would be kept secret until Japan did the same. Each country would have the right to change their appointments after the plenipotentiaries were announced.
