File No. 763.72/5914
The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister in Liberia ( Curtis)
The Department has received a memorandum from the British Embassy here, dated July 14, stating that as soon as the German subjects in Liberia have been carried away and the Liberian Minister states that the German firms are being closed, the restrictions which were placed on trade with Liberia in order to wreck German enterprises there will be canceled. The Department regards this assurance as adequate, and you may therefore advise the Liberian Government that this Government sees no objection to that Government taking the contemplated steps with regard to Germany.
