The Minister in Liberia (Walton) to the Secretary of State
[Received November 3—7:43 a.m.]
101. Does the Department desire telegrams concerning current negotiations for leasing of land by Pan American Airways? Department’s despatch No. 223, July 2120 referred to Seybold’s keeping Legation closely informed of his moves. This has not been done. Within the last 10 days important communications have been exchanged, counterproposals made, and Seybold has visited Monrovia on several occasions to confer with authorities. He has neither written me nor called at the Legation to discuss the matter since October 11. My information comes from Liberian sources. Difficult to comply with Department’s telegraphic instructions No. 42, July 9, 7 p.m., and No. 44, July 16, 8 p.m.
Present indications are that immediate legislative approval of Pan American Airways agreement unlikely.
