The Chargé in Liberia (Bundy) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 22—1:25 a.m.]
74. I have been informally advised by the Secretary of State that the Liberian Government feels that it has amply justified its procedure in dealing with financial plan by the arguments set forth in its note of August 31st [21st], 1920, copy of which was forwarded as enclosure number 2 with Legation’s despatch number 103 and dated August 25th,28 and until a reply to this note is made by the Government of the United States it is considered by Liberia that the assumptions expressed therein prevail and affairs will be conducted accordingly. Secretary of State also complained that there were unusual long delays in receiving replies to the notes of Liberian Government addressed to the Government of the United States through the Legation and that many a time notes remained unanswered.
In view of the above Legation thinks, if it is in harmony with Department’s policy, present conditions require that reply will be as promptly as possible to Liberian Government’s note of August 31st [21st] last.
