Ambassador Tower relays the telegraphed response of the German Emperor to President Roosevelt’s letter. The Emperor is in full agreement with the President with respect to peace between Russia and Japan. The Emperor had thought that England and France might work against Roosevelt because French foreign minister Théophile Delcassé had a separate plan for peace that would indemnify not only Russia and Japan with Chinese lands, but also Britain and France as the price of their intervention.
