PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S ATTITUDE.
LONDON, 20th September. Regarding M. de Witte's statement to a newspaper representative at Cherbourg, as to his impression concerning a supposed change in public bpinion in America, it may be interesting to recall a. cablegram sent to the Times by its New York correspondent on 24th August. The correspondent then said': — "Tho danger of President Roosevelt's present attitude is lest he should seem to the Russians or the Japanese to press for peace at any price. He would never do that, but if all the published accounts of his acts are true, that would be true." The correspondent added : — "It is beyond question that America, though eagerly dfcsirotß of peace, does not de* sire a peace which Japan thinks not for her interest or honour. • Americans feel goodwill to Russia, but an unchanging conviction that the Japanese have been in the right from the beginning, and are in the right now."
