The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Liberia (Reber)
[Paraphrase]
Washington, December 8,
1930—noon.
112. Your No. 173, December 5, 3 p.m. The Department does not feel that the considerations set forth in the Department’s No.111, December 5, 5 p.m., second sentence, are met by the Liberian reply, which evidently disregards the declaration already formally made in the Liberian Government’s name by President King on September 30.
[Page 384]If this also is your opinion, you are authorized (in the informal manner described in the Department’s No. 111) to intimate as much to Edwin Barclay.
