State Department Denies
Liberian Crisis Exists:
Nation To Seek Loans

w ASHIN GTON, D. c.
fNNPA)-The State Depart
nent last Saturday denied re-
ports that the Republic of Lii
IBERIA was threatened with a
crisis, in which colored Amer
can troops stationed there had been
llerted to stand guard.
1t was reported that the crisis
was the result Of long-brewing diff
ferences between the Raymond Pile
Company, an American firm which
is constructing dock facilities in
Monrovia under a contract with the
United States Navy, and the Lib
erian people.
Feelings were said to have de-
veloped when it became known that
the company had demanded a con-
cession on the iron deposits in Lib
eria as well as railroad concession
to the mining area consisting of
nearly a half million acres of some
of Liberals best lands.
According to the report, colored
American troops were alerted to
protect American property, while
United States Navy officials had
drawn pistols on Liberians to force
them to return to work on the
project
The State Department admitted
that the city of MonrOvia had been
declared off-limits to colored Amer
lean troops in order that no display
of force against Liberia might be
asserted while the Republic was en-
gagged in domestic difficulties in
volving wage disputes where Amer
lean enterprise was concerned.
1t was also admitted that Lib
erian dock workers had struck
against the Raymond Pile Concrete
Company, but it was denied that
the strike was called because Of
pressure by the concrete company
to obtain railroad and mining con-
cessions. The strike, it was said,
was purely a wage dispute.
The State Department revealed
that Colonel Lansdale K. Christie,
a retired Army officer, already has
been granted the mining concession
by the Liberian Government. The
Raymond Company, it was said,
has never made a bid on the con-
cession.
Commenting on the charge that
censorship prevails in Monrovia
the State Department said that the
American Legation is not under
censorship and has not been under
it.
Denying reports that a scheduled
trip to the U. S. by William G.
St. Paul recorder. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1946-01-11

Dennis, Liberals secretary of
treasurer, to negotiate a twenty
Ave million dollar loan had been
cancelled when the legislature sat
down on the mineral concession
grant, the Department said the
legislature had not sat down on the
grant and that association of the
cancellation of Dennis trip to the
United States with the strike was
a Misrepresentation of facts.
Liberia has already submitted to
this country a plan for internal i'm
provements which will require
twenty-five million dollars the De-
partment said but no request has
yet been made by the Republic to
borrow this money either from the
government or from private enter
prise. Officials, however, admit
Liberia is expected to ask for such
a loan.

service officers. Mr.. Lanier appar-
emily comes within none Of these
categories.
He has spent most Of his adult
life in southern states where the
white primary barred colored vot-
ers from participating in Demo-
cratic politics.
He taught at Tuskegee Institute,
Florida A. and NJ. College, and
Houston College for Negroes from
1888 to 1888. He came to Wash
ingtOn as assistant director of the
division of Negro Affairs of the
National Youth Administration and
remained here until he went to
Hampton Institute, where he
served as dean Of instruction, act
ing president, and dean of the
faculty.
A press release states that he
was active in the Democratic party
over twelve years. There is nothing
in the release to indicate what
service he rendered the Democratic
party. In the years he worked in
Government, he was barred from
active political participation by the
Hatch act.
Ordinarily appointments of min
listers and ambassadors are an
nounced by the President or the
Secretary Of State. The appoint
ment Of Mr.. Lanier was announced
by Representative William L. Daw-
son, Democrat, Of Illinois, who is
also assistant to Chairman Bob
Hannegan Of the Democratic ma
tional committee.
At the time Mr.. Dawson an
nounced the appointment President

charges of rout growing out
of disturbances on Guam in De-
cember, 1874.
The men were released on pro-
baton from the Naval Disciplinary
Barracks, Terminal Island, San
Pedro, California, under directive
of the Secretary Of the Navy pro-
viding for review for elemeney Of
the cases Of all Navy prisoners.
Under the terms Of this directive
any Navy prisoner may apply 10.
clemency, which, II granted, viii re-
lease him for active duty on proba-
ton.
The release Of these colored sail
Ors was recommended by the COM
handing officer Of the Disciplinary
Barracks, the Bureau Of Navy Per-
sonnet, and the Naval Clemency
and Prison Inspection Board.
The conduct record Of one Of the
Port Chicago prisoners did not war
rant consideration for elemeney.
The other two Port Chicago pris-
oners not yet released are in the
hospital and their cases will be
considered upon their discharge
from the hospital.
All Of the men involved In the
Guam incident have been placed on
probation and restored to duty.
Under the terms Of their probation,
the men are assigned 10 active duty
and II they keep their records clear
during the period Of probation they
will become eligible for discharge
under honorable conditions al the
conclusion Of their period Of enlist
ment.
The fifty sailors convicted Of mu-
tiny following the Port Chicago ex-
plosiOn were tried by a Navy court
in San Francisco in September,
1914. They were charged with re-
fusing to continue loading ammuni-
ton following an explosion in which
more than 300 Of their comrades
were blown to bits.
Following riot on Guam In
December, 1914, forty-five colored
sailors were convicted. The state
ment issued by the Navy Depart
ment last Monday revealed Glenn
ency had been granted in the cases
Of only thirty-six Of them.
The National Association for the
Advancement Of Colored People,
which has been interested in the
cases Of both the Port Of Chicago
and the Guam prisoners, contended
that the court-martial at Guam
concerned itself solely with the in
cidents Of December "a and 20, 1914,
with no consideration Of the factors
Of prejudice, unfairness, and colored
discrimination which were known
to have been exercised against col
ored naval personnel on that island.
According TO the NAACP, prior
to the disorders, there had been n
series Of unprovoked, unchecked
and unpublished attacks on colored
servicemen on Guam, particularly
colored Navy Base company per-
sonnet, by white servieemen, chiefly
Marines.
Walter White, secretary Of the
NAACP, who acted as defense
counsel at the Guam court-martial,
said these attacks consisted Of the
throwing Of missiles, including
empty beer bottles, stones, pieces Of
coral, and, upon two occasions, hand
grenades into the camp occupied by
four Navy Base companies. Be-
sides, there had been repeated at
tacks by white Marines upon col
ored servicemen when the latter
had gone on leave into the town
of ARana.

Lack of funds has caused the
Civil Service Commission virtually
to cease its loyalty and character
investigations of persons seeking
Government employment, The Stal
learned last night.
With its limited staff, the COM
mission is now investigating only
very special cases" with the resul,
that only about one out of every SOC
persons placed in Federal positions
are being adequately investigated
as to possible subversive activities
or criminal background.
In an effort to keep some check
on the situation the commission has
asked the various Federal agencies
to conduct whatever investigations
they can make for themselves re-
garding the persons they hire. But
the commission officials admit that
this Is Q hit-and-naiss system since
