Rouvier to Bihourd, Sept. 25, 1905, L.j., 1901-5, 305 f., Nos. 349 f.; Radolin to F. O., Sept. 26, 1905, G.P., XX, 589, No. 6828; Tardieu, La Conf. d’Algés., pp. 44 f. In December, M. Louis told Bertie that the German government had replied to Rouvier’s declaration by asserting that “though bound by their Agreement, they [Germany] reserved to themselves the faculty of supporting in the Conference any proposals made by another Government which they might consider good” (Bertie to Grey, Dec. 15, 1905, B.D., III, 158, No. 195). There is no reference to this statement in G.P.
