Saint-René Taillandier’s denial that he had ever claimed to have a mandate of Europe must be balanced against the Sultan’s personal assertion that he had claimed it. The truth would seem to be that the French Minister had sought to make more out of France’s international accords over Morocco than the facts justified by speaking vaguely and by not clearing up misunderstandings in the Sultan’s mind (L.j., 1901-5, Nos. 214, 231, 238, 263; G.P., XX, Nos. 6621, 6631, 6658, 6662, 6551 n.; Aktenstücke über Marokko, 1905, Nos. 1, 3).
