Note 413 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
“Because of the importance of German neutrality we shall perhaps find opportunity to utilize our central position in case of further sharpening of the hostility in the same way that M. Delcassé intends doing with reference to Morocco,” wrote Holstein in a memo. on Jan. 23, 1904 (ibid., 48 ff., No. 5951). Also see memo. by Holstein, Jan. 16, 1904, ibid., 48 ff., No. 5951.
