Note 767 — Chapter XIII

Bülow held out prospects of aiding Spain to acquire Tangier and the surrounding territory in case of a future break-up of Morocco if Spain would uphold the German policy. The insincerity of the statement is proved by a letter from Holstein to Radolin on July 2, 1905. In regard to the Moroccan affair he wrote: “We need have no consideration for the wishes of others, at any rate not for those of Spain who has never caused other than anger or embarrassment for us.” See Bülow to Radowitz, June 21, 1905, G.P., XX, 453 f., No. 6721; Radowitz to F. O., June 25, 1905, ibid., 473, No. 6737; Holstein to Radolin, July 2, 1905, ibid., 503, No. 6757.
