It is strange also that, in a country so democratically minded, interest should be concentrated on glorifying the career of a somewhat doubtful Balkan Monarch to the exclusion of any concern at the calamity which has befallen Europe in the death of one of France's greatest foreign ministers. Even your own excellent paper seems hardly to have noticed that a great democratic leader has also died. Surely this must mean more to the immediate future of Europe than the almost unavoidable...
