The Consul at Geneva (Gilbert) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 4—2 p.m.]
282. From Reber. My telegram No. 276, October 2 [1], p.m.74 The President of the Liberian Committee informs me that the Liberian representatives have “accepted the plan on behalf of their Government subject to a successful outcome of negotiations with the American group interested.”75
Inasmuch as a modification of the Finance Corporation’s contract will be required to make effective this scheme and provide the funds for its execution this last clause was considered essential.
With this understanding the Government of Liberia has accepted the plan of assistance as adopted by the Committee.
In his telegram of reply the President likewise has asked me to inform him as soon as possible when the Finance Corporation representatives could be expected to commence the negotiations. [Reber.]
