uBERIAA COMMISSION MAY

(By A. N. P.)

Washington, d. c., March 24-There
are signs abroad that the Liberian
Mission is in danger of meeting fail
ure in its quest for a loan from the
government. The local press is, appar-
emily, lined up against foreign loans
to anybody. It will be remembered
that the feeler put out by the British
government in this direction got a
severe drubbing at the hands of the
press and the public. In the Liber-
so far to call the object of the Lii
berians' visit "a touch" These signs
together with the fact that the Mis-
sion has Cancelled its engagement of
lington Hotel point, somewhat, to the
failure of the loan project
President Kings mouth, however, is
tightly sealed on the matter. His
associates, apparently taking the cue
from their distinguished leader, don't
their mouths on the situation Taken
in its several aspects the matter in
cludes a series of embarrassing COM
plications for which nobody seems to
lie, the press and the foreign loan
situation in general are combined
against the Liberians, the signs say,
and that appears to end the matter
for the present.
The local friends of the Liberians
find a small crumb of comfort in the
fact that Liberia is one of the small
governments that were included in a
loan program that was adopted by
the government subsequent to the
Armistice. Liberals position as a nat
ural ward of the United States is also
pointed out as a vantage point for
probable success for the AT can re-
public. But these hopes would seem
to be buried beneath the weight of
hostile public opinion and the un-
certain loan conditions now facing
the new administration.
Taken in its broader outlines there
is every appearance that Liberia has
chosen a very inopportune moment
In which to press its claims for a
loan from the government.
