Excerpt from Morocco in Diplomacy An explanatory word or two regarding the construction of this volume may prove useful to the reader as a guide. To clarify the masses of documentary evidence accumulated round a problem which has kept Europe on tenterhooks for seven years, and to bring out the issues clearly, I have sought to rivet the reader's attention to the main lines of the story. Hence I have divided it into a number of sections each as self-contained as the nature of the subject allowed. In the first section the reader is asked to cast a backward glance at the attitude towards, and the interests in, Morocco of the four Powers chiefly concerned (Britain, France, Spain and Germany), during what may be termed the normal period of Morocco's modern relations with the Powers, i.e. before French, British and Spanish diplomacy entered upon those secret courses which were destined to slay Morocco's independence and narrowly to avoid involving Europe in a great war. With a brusqueness which I trust may be forgiven him, the author opens the second section by introducing the reader to a small German gunboat anchored off the South Atlantic coast of Morocco, sent thither by Germany as an intimation that she does not propose to acquiesce in the change which has come over the international position of Morocco.
