The Chargé in Liberia (Reber) to the Secretary of State
[Received 12:15 p.m.]
182. My telegram No. 176, December 16, 11 a.m. The Liberian Government requests that, in view of the withdrawal of Dr. Smith, the United States Government nominate an individual to serve as Director of Public Health and Sanitation under the provisions of the [Page 444] new law, stating that it “shall be infinitely obliged if the matter is brought immediately to the attention of your Department of State and the urgency of its importance stressed.”
Dr. Smith has left Monrovia and hopes to make connections in Freetown which will land him in England about the 8th of January.
