[Washington,] October 25,
1939.
I telephoned to Mr. Walker and inquired how the proposed shipment of machine guns to Liberia was proceeding. Mr. Walker said that the ten guns which had now been specified by the Liberian Government had been loaded on board the Elder-Dempster Steamer New Brunswick, which was scheduled to sail from New York this afternoon. The New Brunswick was to proceed first to Norfolk to take on a load of dynamite for the Firestone Plantations in Liberia and would then set out for West Africa.
