The Standard has learned that before responding to the letter from German Emperor William II, Lord Tweedmouth conferred with Foreign Secretary Edward Grey to see how it should be treated. Grey felt that it should be treated and responded to as a personal letter, and regardless of subsequent events, The Standard praises Tweedmouth’s actions in this respect. While there are benefits to not publishing this letter, as it was treated as a personal letter, The Standard feels that overall it would be more beneficial to publish the exchange. By not publishing the letter, and letting news about it come out through rumors and conjecture, the issue is more muddled than it otherwise would be.

German newspapers seem to have reported adequately on the British Parliament’s response to the affair involving the letter sent by German Emperor William II to Lord Tweedmouth, and are satisfied with how the situation was handled. Many of the papers, however, have treated English public opinion inaccurately and “are mere caricatures.” There is some talk of publishing the Emperor’s letter, but there is presently no copy of it.

The German papers place the blame, not on the letter, but on The Times for driving a hysterical response to the letter, and while the British Parliament has left the issue behind, the British press and public is still focusing on it.
