LIBERIA is DESPONDENT
Owing to the Delay of the Treaty With
the United States.

MouoToVia, Liberia, Dee. I6, 19l0-The
long delay in the anticipated treaty be-
tween the United States and Liberia in
which Liberia hoped to drown all her ii
nancial troubles has caused an evident
stat" of depression and hopelessness
among the officials Of the government as
well as the masses Of the people. The
country is now in Il surprising state of
lasstudc, everything moves timidly witt
an expectancy that something is going to
turn up soon.
WHEN is America comiug2" is the
question on everybbdy's tongue. Roland
p. Falkner, the American financial agent.
who is conducting the negotiations, was
chairman of the American commission to
Liberia which investigated the situation
and which prepared a report highly unfa-
vorable to France and Great Britain Mr..
Falkner, therefore. is meeting v h all
sorts of difficulties in the negotiations,
especially in France. The French gov
eminent has demanded a Ietraction of
certain of the accusations made in the
report OF the American commission and
further demands the signing of the last
Franco-Liherian delimitation treaty. by
which Liberia will lose about 1860 square
miles of her territory, before France will
consent to become a party to the plans
of Mr.. Falkner. Liberia has acquicsced
in the demands out of sheer desperation
rather than from sense of wrong in
nicted on the French government.
Liberia strongly objects to any scheme
which resolves itself into II protectorate
Of three or four powers OF course she
will follow any suggestion of the Ameri-
can government, not being in Il position
to do otherwise. but it is generally be-
lieved, both by Libetian officials and for
eGn representatives, on the ground. that
such protectory would result in the
complete proStration of the republic. Ii
IBERIA is small country and. barring the
natural resources, poor country and
could not stand the duplication of off
Gals such a system would entail.
