The Minister in Sweden (Morris) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received 7:39 p.m.]
67. Referring to my 66, February 25, 4 p.m. I thought it would be of interest to you to know that I have been informed that a wireless telegram from the Soviet Government regarding peace has also been sent to Japan and Roumania and in this telegram Japan is reminded of her interests in the Far East. The note to Japan I am informed also reiterates the principles of the Soviet Government in regard to the right of self-determination of the peoples and reviews the earlier numerous proposals made to Japan while pointing to the mutual advantages of an understanding especially in view of Japan’s great economic interests in the note [East]. The note to Roumania also proposes opening of peace negotiations.
