Note 37 — Chapter I

On these conversations see Radolin to Bülow, June 5, 1901, G.P., XVIII, 772 ff., No. 5868; June 15, ibid., 775 ff., No. 5869; ibid., 777 f., No. 5870. Leon y Castillo declared that Delcassé had said to him that “he wished for nothing better than to converse with the German Ambassador on different points, that he would be very desirous of arriving at an entente with him” (ibid., 775 ff., No. 5869). At the same time leading articles appeared in Temps and Figaro, papers in close touch with the foreign office, to the effect that Germany had the opportunity in the Moroccan affair to prove her good will toward France (Richthofen to Hatzfeldt, July 5, 1901, ibid., 781, No. 5872).
