The Secretary of State to the Minister in Liberia (Walton)
30. Your 50, July 15, 11 a.m.38 Sir Lancelot Oliphant has confirmed to our Embassy at London that he made the statement quoted in the Department’s 29, July 12, 4 p.m.38 to the Liberian Minister in London on July 5. Apparently the statement was made during a lengthy discussion and the Liberian Minister may have misunderstood its significance. If the Liberian Government has any further doubt about the matter it may wish to instruct its Minister in London to obtain confirmation or a reaffirmation of the statement from Oliphant.
