The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Liberia (Wharton)
Washington, November 6, 1929—5
p.m.
45. Your 59, November 4, midnight. Did President’s message carry any recommendation that Liberia ratify the Slavery Convention of 1926? It is believed that ratification during the present session of the legislature would have a most favorable effect upon world opinion, particularly in view of the important mention made of the Convention in the terms of reference for the forced labor investigation.
