After having talked with President Loubet early in April, Edward VII wrote to Lansdowne as follows: “President Loubet was most amiable . . . . but I could see from his manner that he considers the German conduct at Tangier, if not a direct menace to France, at any rate a covert insult” (Lee, King Edward VII, II, 341).
