711.00 Statement July 16, 1937/158: Telegram
The Minister in Liberia (Walton) to the Secretary of State
[Received 1:50 p.m.]
39. My 38, August 6, 5 p.m.9 Text of communication from Liberian Government transmitted to me by Secretary of State Simpson reads as follows.
“The Government of Liberia has noted with satisfaction the statement made on July 16th by the Secretary of State of the United States [Page 771] of America with respect to disturbed conditions in various parts of the world and the attitude of the Government of the United States with regard to the international problems arising thereout.
The Liberian Government has consistently been devoted to the ideal of world peace as the basis of international security and the condition of stability in international relations.
The statement of the Secretary of State merits cordial acceptance in all parts of the world as the foundation of that international cooperation without which the present uncertainties, inequalities and injustices cannot be made to disappear.
This Government, whilst associating itself with the principles enunciated by Mr. Secretary Hull, indulges the hope that the declaration thus made by the Government of the United States of America will tend to stimulate the international will to peace.”
