u. S. Sends
Mediator"
To Liberia

Washington, March, 10, (ANP) In
order that a quicker understanding Of
the differences between this country
and Liberia may be achieved, the
United States state department. with
the approval of President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, has sent Mayor General
Blanton Winship to Monrovia to take
the place in effect of United States
Minister Charles E. Mitchell
Mr. Mitchell was appointed by the
Hoover administration, but failed to
function because the United States
would not recognize the Barclay ad-
m:nstration in the West African Re-
public, The reason given for non-re-
cognition was the existence of slavery
in Liberia and MIR. Barclays unwill-
ingness to live up to his country's lin
ancial commitments.
Last year the League of Nations ap-
pointed a committee to draw up plan
Of assistance for Liberia. The United
States agreed to support this plan if
the financial representatives OF the
Firestone Tire come in this country
endorsed it. This was because the
United States had induced the Fire
stone company to make loan to the
Liberain government.
Instead of attempting a satisfactory
adjustment of its contracts with the
Firestone company, Mr.. Barclays
government is said, by executive de-
cree end legislative act, to be attempt-
ing to evade the provisions of these
agreement.
The state denartment announces:
"Bolievino that the accordance by Lii
IBERIA of international assistance lock-
in- toward the reorganization OF Lii
berian administration offered the best
guarantee of needed social reforms, the
American government has participated
in the work Of the Liberian committee
of the League Of Nations at Geneva
The American Government last Oct
ober endorsed the program elaborated
by the Liberian committee, and for
warded it to the Firestone interests as
basis for certain modification in the
CONTRACT between them and Liberia
"The progress toward the rehabilta-
tjon of Iiberian finances and a sounder

country and Liberia has been blocked
