Baron Yamamoto, Minister Navy, who was present at the meeting, said that although there was a strong popular dissatisfaction with the terms of peace, it must be borne in mind that a far heavier sacrifice of life would be necessary to take Viadivostok than that involved in the capture of Pom Arthur, besides the heavy monetary outlay. It was advisable, therefore, he said, to be satisfied with the present terms. In conclusion, Baron Yamamoto sald that Russia was sure to build a strong navy, and that Japan mus: be prepared to make adequate provisions for such a contingency. M.Olshi, leader of the, Progressivs party, suggested that the Cabinet should resign after concluding peace upon such unsailisfactory terms.
