The Minister in Liberia (Walton) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 4—2:30 p.m.]
67. Department’s number 40, June 30, 9 p.m. President Barclay is generally agreeable to the suggestion and feels it is now necessary to meet with trust [trusted?] advisers before giving a definitive reply which will be forthcoming within the next 2 days. I am confident it will be along lines desired by our Government.
President Barclay points out that it is not made clear by what parties “ratification” will be brought into effect.
The Liberian Government will leave to the American Government the question of compensation for use of property leased under proposed arrangement.
