Certainly the obvious inference set out in the last paragraph above is not fact: it is mis- leading and untrue in its essentials. Up to two or three vears ago Liberia had been bankrupt for some time. Its cutstanding bonds amounted to $1.100.- 000 at 5 per cent. on which interest was long overdus and unpaid. In add tion. it had some $365.000 short-time in- debtedness, part funded and part float- ing: and it owed the United States Go ernment $35.000-—» ‘total indebtedness of about $1.500.000.
