Conditions in Liberia.

What is the matter with Liberia ?' |
asked
TOO much is expected of Liberia The
condition of that country must be taken
into consideration before we judge it. In
the first place, there are not more than
twelve to fifteen thousand American Lii
berans-that is to say, those who mi
grated from his country and their de-
scendants. And then, probably, ten
thousand native Africans more or less
civilized. Then, remember what they have
had to contend with in lacking the proper
proportion of intelligent leaders and finan-
cial resources.
THE actual governing power of Liberia
extends but little west from the coast,
except up the Cavally river to the east,
nearly seventy-five miles, and up the St.
Paul river from MOnrovia, the capital
town. fifty to seventy-five miles. We
must also remember how very recently
the great nations of Europe-England
Germany and France-have made their
way into the interior.
Liberia requires more people, more
capital, less politics, more industry and a
willingness to welcome the cooperation
of the white man.
What should the United States do?
Should we exercise protectorate over
them?'
al do not think the United States should
consider any territorial acquisition, either
actual or protectorate, on the continent
of Africa, because il would Immediately
precipitate diplomatic and political COM
picatons with the European powers. 1t
would suggest to them much more than
we would actually mean, and they would
misinterpret our benevolent intentions as
a policy of conquest. The United States
as an outside and independent friendly
power. can do vastly more for the CONT
nent of Africa on benevolent lines than
by becoming mixed with it's politics.

English Protectorate Best.

For twelve years / visited Liberia each
year, and have taken the greatest inter-
est in the little nation, and have believed
In it. still believe in 1t, and have hopes
for it, But If it should be found that it
is better to have a protectorate over 1t.
the best country for that is England. I
should be very glad If some American
financiers would become interested in the
development of Liberia. The natural
wealth Of that section of the west coast is
equal to the best Magnificent timber
lands and farming regions abound back
fifty to a hundred miles with no enter
prise or capital to develop them.
Years ago France took a large section
of the Liberian territory up the Cavally
river on tire east and then went around
and has occupied the hinterland down
within a couple of hundred miles of the
coast And up to this time the President
OF France has refused to sign a treaty
proposed by Great Britain in a friendly
spirit to fix permanent boundary line
Liberia is thus hemmed in all around
and unless outside capital and influence
are directed by benevolent spirit toward
the welfare of the Lberians II is only "A
matter Of time when they will lose their
nationality"
