LIBERIA IN NEED OF AID
ooker 4. Washington Discusses Con-
dition Existing In Little
Republic In Africa.

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Endorsing the
view OF former Secretary Root that Liberia
is an American colony, Booker T. Wash
ington tonight decided the situation in the
African republic was serious and that the
United States was in duty bound to render
practical assistance to Liberia, which was
established in 1919 by the United States
government and phiIanthropic individuals.
Mr.. Washington said:
The present condition of Liberia is seri-
Gus. There are about 10000 civilized negroes
who have emigrated from the United States
or are descendants OF people who emigrated
years ago. Back of these, in the Hinterland,
are about 100000 OF uncivilized people.
The present condition of Liberia. how
ever, need not surprise any one. In fact,
the surprise is that Liberia has maintained
itself as an independent nation for so long
a period with almost no help from outside
sources except that which has been fur
nished by philanthropic individuals. Every
European country which has planted a
colony in Africa has spent millions of
dollars in maintaining, assisting and en-
couraging their colonies. These European
governments have also sent their best Off
Gals to supervise and guide the people
until they rave gotten started. In the case
of Liberia a small body of people just out
OF slavery in this country, with no expert
ence in government or the conduct of edu-
catloual institutions or without RESPONSE
bility fer their own conduct, we're sent to
a foreign country and the responsibility
placed upon them within a few years of
building and maintaining a government.
II do not believe the condition OF Liberia
is hopeless, but l do believe this govern
ment owes. as Secretary Root says, a duty
to that country. We have spent large sums
of money and given some of our best off
Gals to reorganize and rebuild governments
in the Philippines, Hawaii, Cuba, Porto
Rico and San Domingo, and we certainly
W an equal duty to Liberia.
II believe and hope the United States
will carry out the recommendation made
to congress by former Secretary Root and
by President Roosevelt in the direction of
lending practical assistance through the
sending of three commissioners to Liberia
as early as possible"
