The Chargé in Liberia (Wharton) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 24—11:48 p.m.]
Convinced Liberia will not commit itself definitely at this time to the $15,000 in article No. 3 as submitted and reported in my 68, December 3, 9 p.m. I have submitted alternate proposal article 3 as quoted in the Department’s 50, November 23, 6 p.m.
Barclay states that if following form of article 3 meets with the approval of the Department, instruction may be issued sanitary engineer to proceed to Monrovia. Second sentence of article No. 3 to read as follows: “An additional $3,000 shall be provided should the chief medical adviser satisfy the Liberian Government that the sum of $12,000 is insufficient for these purposes.” In the [last?] sentence change “thereunder” to “there out.”
