Russian Ambassador George von Lengerke Meyer sends Assistant Secretary of State Adee news about Russia’s reaction to the defeat of her fleet. People believe war is useless but they are not yet ready for revolution. The Russian government will bring about reforms so people will read this, be relieved, and not revolt. Through a non-official source, Meyer mentions two opportunities for United States involvement: with monetary demands channeled through Japan that could drag war out another five years, or using Théophile Delcassé in France to respond.

President Roosevelt is glad that Ambassador Reid has made clear to the English people that William Lyon Mackenzie King was sent from Canada on their own initiative, and without prompting from the United States. Roosevelt has been in contact with Sir Wilfred Laurier because he wants the English-speaking world to have good relations with Japan, and presenting a united front that aims toward excluding Japanese laborers, while hopefully refraining from insulting Japan, is not possible without communicating.

Samuel E. Moffett examines the relationship between the United States and Great Britain. He concludes that the current, ongoing relationship depends upon the present policies of each nation and not on ancient history or sentimentalism. American policy is to be the dominant power in the Western hemisphere, and if this principle can be accepted by the British there should not be any problems with maintaining a harmonious relationship.
