0 the British government politician who is responsible for dealing with other countries and who controls the Foreign and Commonwealth Office --
We also received this morning from the German Ambassador here the telegram sent to him by the German Foreign Secretary, and communicated by the Ambassador to us.
There I saw the Foreign Secretary, who, after taking time to think things over, gave me a memorandum he had drawn up.
I wish I had some influence with the Foreign Secretary, said I, not telling him that the man actually dislikes me, and looks at me as if I were a toad.
I can imagine nothing more terrible than that the Foreign Secretary should have a feeling that perhaps he has brought his country into an unnecessary war.
