All the above-mentioned questions must be settled immediately, therefore I propose in connexion with former conversations to immediately begin negotiations and beg the representatives to arrive at Ugolnaya station on October 21, and invite the American, British, and Japanese consular representatives to participate in the negotiations as they are interested in the safety of their subjects, and their property, and the security of the port having international bonds. I consider further delay of a settlement of this question intolerable as it may produce grave results to the Russian and foreiga inhabitants of Vladivostok. Should my proposal be rejected or delayed, the Russian people will charge the responsibility for the consequences to representatives of that country which in spite of my open-hearted proposal is not willing to enter into the way of a peaceful understanding at this dangerous moment. The People's Revolutionary Army once more assures that it aims at establisbing peaceful order in the Maritime Province and Vladivostok as soon as possible."
