The German Emperor and Lord Tweedmouth

Reuters reports that while German Emperor William II wrote a letter to Edward Marjoribanks, Lord Tweedmouth, he did not attempt to interfere in British naval policy. There is no objection to the publication of the Emperor’s letter, but officials in Germany regard the correspondence as personal between the Emperor and Lord Tweedmouth. There has been much discussion about the letter in various countries.

The German Emperor and the British Admiralty

It has been confirmed that Edward Marjoribanks, First Lord of the Admiralty, communicated with German Emperor William II in private letters about a variety of topics, including British and German naval policy. It does not seem that the present Navy Estimates were affected by the letter, and it may even be possible that the letters did not directly reference the estimates, but it is unacceptable for the First Lord of the Admiralty to communicate with foreign leaders on questions of British Naval Policy. Full publication of the letters is a matter of urgent national importance.

The German Emperor and Lord Tweedmouth

German Emperor William II recently wrote to First Lord of the Admiralty Edward Marjoribanks, Lord Tweedmouth, on the subject of British and German naval policy. It is believed that this letter was an effort to influence British naval policy. The author sets up a hypothetical scenario where Edward VII, King of Great Britain, wrote to try to influence German naval policy, and predicts that in this case Germany would be filled with outcries of anger, and would summarily increase the size of its navy. If William II has comments about the British Navy, there are official channels of communication which should be used.
