The Secretary of State to the Minister in Liberia ( Johnson )
Washington
,
April 10, 1920—6
p.m.
17. And for attention Worley.
British Embassy states it is reported that salaries and expenses of American officials in Liberia and cost of orders for material placed in this country in anticipation of conclusion of loan are being defrayed on Worley’s authority out of funds of Receivership. Is this true, and are such payments made in strict accordance with Loan Agreement of 1912 by which expenses of Receivership and the service of the loan are made prior charges on assigned revenues? Explain fully.
