882.01 Foreign Control/92: Telegram
The Ambassador in Great Britain (Dawes) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 11—12:35 p.m.]
70. From Reber: Embassy’s telegram No. 57, February 28, 1 p.m. Doctor Howells, British Health Officer, should arrive in Monrovia about the 12th of March. The British Foreign Office and League Secretariat have again approached me to know whether any reply has been received to inquiry with regard to funds. Although the Liberian Government has agreed to find “part of the cost” it is felt it will attempt to delay as long as possible thus affecting the work of the experts. Should it be possible to obtain a reply as soon as possible and proceed with the departure of the experts on March 20th it would be appreciated as other provisions for funds might have to be made. Am arranging to have information communicated through Embassy here. [Reber.]
