The Acting Secretary of State to the Chargé in Liberia ( Wharton )
28. Your despatch No. 490, July 18. If it should develop that the Spanish representatives are in fact endeavoring to obtain a concession for an airline, the Liberian Government will undoubtedly recall the provisions of the confidential supplementary agreement6 to the Air Navigation Agreement between the United States and Liberia signed June 14, 1939.7
The Department would be glad to be informed by telegraph as to the actual status and activities of the Spaniards now in Monrovia and the recognition accorded to them by the Liberian Government. We have no doubt that Secretary Simpson will desire to proceed most cautiously in establishing relations with the present government in Spain.
