a stake in the country, since the great
or norton of the trade is in German
hands.
In 1909, Liberia sent commission to
the United States to ask the aid of this
country, always her very good friend.
in STRENGTHENING out her financial diff
culties. During the following year an
American commission, headed by DR..
Roland P. Falkner, went to Liberia and
made a study Of conditions. AS re-
suit of the commissions recommends
ton in 1911 an agreement was entered
into by which New York bankers
loaned to Liberia approximately ST.
100000 for 40 years. This was enough
to refund all the outstanding foreign
loans to put Liberia on her feet
financially.
1t was provided in the agreement
that a foreign receivership should be
established to collect Liberals customs
revenue, her head money revenues and
the rubber tax. The receivership was
to consist of an American comptroller,
and British, French and German sub
comptrollers.
These four were appointed by the
Liberian government on nomination
by their respective countries. They are
officers of Liberia, not of their own
nation. and are paid out of its receipts

mark that long public service in Wash

courteousness. simplicity and frank
ness in demeanor and expression. In
a conversation at the University club
during his stay In Washington Mr..
Clark told something Of the country.
Said he:
Liberia is extraordinarily rich in
natural products, but has been little
developed. No less that % varieties
of rubber-producing plants grow there
Rubber production is staple indus

from the natural and not the cult

Hampshire man who for two
years has been residing in the
West African republic. In Washington
and In his native New Hampshire hills
he shook off the fever. he took on his
accustomed modicum Of flesh and mus
Gle and the brilliant sparkle returned
to his eyes, Then, refreshed by his
leave, he returned to the little country
where he is striving to help proud,
but somewhat primitive people to real
ize their ideals of a civilized and ma
terially and morally prosperous self
governing nation.
Reed Paige Clark is his name. In
nous In West Africa. 10 and the per-
sonality behind it are subjects of grave
discussion in the foreign Offices of the
great nations Of Europe.
On the western coast OF Africa to.
day there are few men more powerful
than he. More than any one man he is
responsible for the well-being Of an In
dependent African nation. For ten
years, and until his going first to Ii
IBERIA, he was committee clerk in the
United States senate, the secretary to
Senator Burnham of New Hampshire.
With this training behind him, he
seized his opportunity to do really
great work in governing and he Is
making good.
Friends tell him that a. prolonged
stay in Monrovia, the capital OF IL

mean his death. The climate is one
unusually severe on the European and
the native American.
Ii Why He 10 There.
To explain just what he is doing in
Liberia 1t is necessary to delve bit
into the history of the country. It
will be recalled that in 1922 American
and European societies opposed to
slavery and DESTROYS of helping the
black man established Liberia on the
west coast Of Africa as colony for
freed slaves July rs. 1S47. Liberia was
proclaimed free and independent ma

on the American constitution and set

the world.

ages. Fifty different dialects are
spoken by them. Only a negro can be-
come q citizen: only citizen can own
property. and only.a property owner
can exercise the franchise. The 10000
retain the governing control of the
country. A few descendants OF original
natives also have gained citizenship.
Liberia has a coast line Of some $50
miles, and its boundaries run back into
the timbered hills about 200 miles. The

from the throne that the growing Bo-
hemianism of London meets with the

emuiating his popular father. the late

So many Americans are involved in this
breaking away from dull conservatism
that The Kings recently revealed policy
is construed as an indication OF SYM
pathy with the very set which recently
has been turning things topsy turvy,
speaking from a social angle.
This set. known as ''loop-the-loopers,"

at this group and court gossip has fairly

chilliness on account OF their affiliations.

his feelings by entertaining the same
