25. For Bussell47 from Castle. Since sending my No. 24, August 11, 1 p.m.48 the Department has talked with Firestone who says

“They will not accept Planting Agreement as passed by Legislature, but that Harvey Firestone, Junior, is sailing immediately for Liberia in the hope that satisfactory adjustments can be made and that if this is accomplished they can lay out a program for Liberia which will be helpful and progressive.”
