Broad and Elastic in Scope.

The organic agreement was drawn
up when both former President Madi-
son and Henry Clay were members of

is broad and elastic in its scope. and is
regarded as giving full justification
for assertion of vested rights claimed
under its authority.
The corporation. under this agree
ment, ceded all it's public lands within
the limits of Liberia. subject to GER
tain conditions. THE government
says the agreements wording which
expressly designates the status of the

Will Animate Procedure.

This declaration of principle, set
forth by President H. L. johnson, last
night. in his annual address. was the
keynote of the course adopted. 1t will
animate the procedure of the investiga-
ton. The American Colonization Socie-
ty has reason to believe that the ad-
ministration of Liberia, under President
Howard, will work in harmony to aid
in the recovery of sovereignty and
property rights in the alienated terri
tory. In the event that Great Britain
and France should be compelled to dis
gorge, Liberia would be the beneficiary,
as the American Colonization Society
has in though the preservation of the
integrity of the territorial republic, and
to transfer to it. sooner or later. all
rights and privileges which are the
basis of the diplomatic claims of the
American Colonization Society.
Evening star., 1915-01-20
Invokes It's Rights.

In this venture into diplomatic contro-
versy the American Colonization So
ciety has invoked the rights retained by
the corporation in the organic treaty or
agreement, made in 1S4S, establishing the
republic of Liberia as an automatic gov
ernment. By this agreement the SOW
ereignty over Liberia was recognized
practically as dual government of the
administration chosen by the republic
electorate and exercised under the su-
pervision and authority of the American
Colonization Society. This authority has
not been exercised by the American Col
onization Society for many years, and
there has been only a nominal and most
perfunctory interference with the repub-
iican administration at Monrovia, the
Liberian. capital.
Under this same organic treaty or
agreement 1t was provided that every
alternate tract of land in the Liberian
territory should be the distinct property
of the American Colonization Society, to
be applied by it to the needs OF colonists
to be sent to Liberia by the corporation
The alienation of this land. to which
the corporation claims title, is the basis
Of the investigation now undertaken to
determine how both the sovereignty
claimed jointly with Liberia and the
separate property rights may be assert
ed effectively.
