882.01 Foreign Control/634: Telegram
The Chargé in Liberia (Werlich) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:10 p.m.]
77. From General Winship. Your telegram No. 44, August 26.60 I learn from the German representative that his Government has communicated with the British on the subject of associating itself with the British Government and ourselves in urging acceptance of the League plan.
2. The French Chargé d’Affaires has received telegram from his Government characterizing the Anglo-American representations as too strong and intimating that France would have no objection to Liberia’s referring its objections or reservations on the plan to the Council. Yesterday, however, British Chargé d’Affaires was informed telegraphically by the Foreign Office of instructions sent to the British Ambassador in Paris with a view to persuading the French to urge Liberian acceptance. British Chargé d’Affaires accordingly saw the French Chargé d’Affaires and requested him to take no action pending receipt of further instructions from Paris. [Winship.]
