The Japanese Government wishes to know whether the Russian Government can not agree that the plenipotentiaries shall meet in Washington during the first ten days of August. This is in response to the President’s request that the meeting be held as soon as possible. The President hopes that this time of meeting will be agreeable to the Russian Government and that he will speedily receive an answer to the request.
