THE PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
JAPAN'S POSITION STATED. HER DEMANDS MODERATE. INDEMNITY MUST BE PAID. NOT PEACE AT ANY PRICE. By Telegraph.—Press Association.—Copyright. (Deceived July 20, 10.50 p.m.) London, July 26. 'Reuter's New York correspondent reports that Mr. Sato, a member of the.Japanese peace mission, speaking on behalf of Japan's plenipotentiary, Baron Komura, yesterday, said he was confident that the negotiations would be successful. Japan's plenipotentiary, he said, would be moderate. He would make no excessive demands. ■ Both countries desired , peace. Russia had lost 370,000 men, and Japan 200,000. As the war had cost Japan a million dollars a day, an indemnity ought to be paid. The arrangement of an armistice probably would be the first move in the negotiations. Japan demanded, he said, an open door in Manchuria. She desired peace; but not peace at any price. He concluded with the statement that while Japan was friendly with China, as an Oriental country, her greatest friends were Britain and the United States.
