Note 641 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
Bülow to Metternich, April 11, 1905, G.P., XX, 605 ff., No. 6843; Metternich to F. O., April 19, 1905, ibid., 608 f., No. 6845. On April 10, however, Radolin reported a statement by Eckardstein, which he himself seemed to think correct, to the effect that “in case of a serious Franco-German conflict England would undoubtedly stand actively on the French side and would even advance with enthusiasm against Germany” (ibid., 607 f., No. 6844).
