Note 628 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
On April 8 Bülow sent Hammann the following instructions for directing the press: “All criticism and attacks should, under the greatest possible consideration for the French national feeling, be directed against the systematically anti-German, insolent, and inept policy of Delcassé” (minute by Bülow to a memo. by Hammann, April 7, 1905, ibid., 313, No. 6609). On April 4 he had issued instructions to restrain the German press from war with the British press (Mühlberg to Metternich, April 4, 1905, ibid., 603 and note, No. 6839).
