Note 976 — Chapter XVI
Reading edition
According to a minute by the Emperor William to a dispatch from Stumm on Feb. 20, 1906 (the only reference to this incident which G.P. contains), during the visit of the King of Spain to Germany in the previous November the Emperor had “proposed to the Spanish King to renew the agreement with his father and a convention regarding the common action of our armies! Whereupon the King said that he knew nothing of that matter, but would look into it upon his return.” Nothing came of the matter. See G.P., XXI, 191, No. 7024. See also Grey to Bertie, Dec. 20, 1905, B.D., III, 160, No. 197; Nicolson to Grey, Dec. 26 and 27, 1905, ibid., 165, No. 205; 167, No. 208.
