882.01 Foreign Control/80: Telegram

The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Great Britain (Dawes)

54. For Reber: Your telegram No. 56, February 28, noon. You may state that while your Government had hoped that the data available to the International Committee in London might have enabled it to formulate a concrete plan looking toward the rehabilitation of Liberia, it of course could entertain no objection to the sending to Liberia of further expert investigators for this purpose. The American Government believes that it would be desirable for these experts to proceed as promptly as possible in order that the people of Liberia may have the benefit of the report of the recent International Commission of Inquiry through the effective adoption of the reforms unanimously recommended.
