The Chargé in Great Britain (Atherton) to the Secretary of State

234. From Reber. I have today received two letters from the League Secretariat, one asking my agreement to September 19 as the date for the next meeting of the Liberian Committee.

The other states that Lord Cecil considers it is of the utmost importance that not only the Liberians should be present but also representatives of the Finance Corporation and the Firestone Plantations Company with full powers to discuss all questions arising out of the Committee’s scheme.

I plan to be in England for the next 10 days should the Department desire to communicate with me. [Reber.]
