LIBERALS PRESIDENT WELCOMED

LIDEAuA p InEOIDGIN1 WELCOHED $500
WHEN PRESIDENT William v. S. Tubman Of the
Liberia landed in Washington last week the city and national
government went all out to honor the distinguished guest.
Few dignitaries in recent years have received more or great
er attention.
AT H Washington Airport President Tubman was
met by Vice President Nixon. Then followed a parade with
full military pomp through the principal streets to the MUM
cipal building where the key to the city was presented to
him. Following that President Tubman was motored to the
White House where he was met by President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover. He was their overnight guest at the White House,
where a state dinner was given in his honor.
o THE NEXT three days the pace kept up. President
Tubman was host at dinner given for the President Of the
United States and Mrs. Eisenhower at the Liberian Embassy.
Wreaths were laid at the tombs George Washington and
the Unknown Soldier, dinner parties almost without num-
Der attended BY dignitaries and ambassadors Of the many
countries represented in Washington, and Howard Univer-
sity conferred the honorary Doctor of Laws upon him.
o H NEXT three weeks President Tubman will
tour the United States on a goodwill mission, talking with
leaders Of government and industry, seeking aid for the
economic development Of his country, An unusual twist will
come when he visits Atlanta, where no white hotel can ac-
~commodate him, yet he will be guest Of Governor Talmadge
at a reception in Georgiass executive mansion.
IT is GOOD. to see all this. Liberia is, 50 to speak, a
child Of the United States. 1t was the American Colonial
ton Society that founded the republic on the western tip of
Africa for slaves who left the United States. And since that.
beginning over a hundred years ago, Liberia has followed
the American ideals of democratic government. 1t is natural
therefore, that the United States would have a keen and
abiding concern for the welfare Of Liberia
NOW THAT the Point Iyprogram is about to ex-
pre (the United States has spent some four million dollars

program. There are natural resources to be developed roads

natives. Frestone has some $4,000 acres in rubber, but more
DEVELOPMENT. is needed

AGRANDSON Of African slaves, President Tubman up
on his first visit to the United States since 1913, has had
the welcome mat rolled out without reservation, It is an in
spring and heartWarning experience not only for the nation
he represents, but for the free world. He comes Of his own
free will, and whatever aid is extended will be on the basis
Of freedom and full equality, entirely in the manner Of high
est American ideals.
EVERYONE EVEN at this distance, wishes Liberia sue
cess as it moves forward to raise the standards Of living while
maintaining real freedom, Liberia is a shining example of
Americas expression Of democracy.

On the basis of experience at
the last five conventions, Mr.,

Legionnaires goes through the

the attendance in Washington is
figured at $4,000.
About $1S Daily Average.
Mr.. Harte said trade and

that Legion conventioners spend
on an average of from SIT to $40
per day. If each of $4,000 visi-
tors spent $18, the expenditure
was we'll over 81 million per day.
Thus. the So million total predic-
ton would have been exceeded.
In addition to the visitors for
whom housing accommodations
were made, thousands of Legion
naires and members of their
families came to Washington for
parts of the convention but did
not remain overnight. Mr.. Harte
said these visitors drove in from
