This memorandum describes how the United States and Germany would approve an arbitration agreement in their respective governments. While neither country is completely comfortable with a formal treaty or alliance, the United States hopes to send notes as a sign of informal friendliness in international relations. Should this approach prove impossible on Germany’s part, the United States will regroup. Instead, provisions may be made to the arbitration agreement of 1904. Additionally, the memorandum suggests a promissory note from the Hague convention of 1907 might arbitrate all their disagreements.

Secretary of State John Hay’s death was a severe personal loss to President Roosevelt, and he is fortunate to have Elihu Root to take over the State Department. Roosevelt is pleased that Russia is sending Sergei Vitte to negotiate with the Japanese representatives over ending the Russo-Japanese War. However, he is concerned that Vitte and Emperor Nicholas II have not come to terms with the fact that Japan has the upper hand in East Asia. Peace will have to be made with the Japanese as victors. If the Russians cannot reach terms, a “severe defeat” will become an “irredeemable disaster.”
