Capl Palmas.Lisuria
OUT of Liberia, pale, shrunken,
malaria-stricken, there came
not long ago a young New
Hampshire man who for two
years has been residing In the
West African republic. In Washington
and In bis native New Hampshire bills
he shook off the fever, he took on his
accustomed modicum of flesh and mus
cle and the brilliant sparkle returned
to his eyes. Then, refreshed by bis
leave, be returned to the little country
where he Is striving to help a proud,
but somewhat primitive people to real
ize their Ideals of a civilized and ma
terially and morally prosperous self
governing nation.
Reed Paige Clark Is his name. In
two years be has made that name fa
mous In West Africa. It and the per
sonality behind It are subjects of grave
discussion In the foreign offices of the
great nations of Europe.
On the western coast of Africa to
day there are few men more powerful
than be. More than any one man he Is
responsible for the well-being of an in
dependent African nation. For ten
years, and until his going first to Li
beria, he was a committee clerk In the
United States senate, the secretary to
Senator Burnham of New Hampshire.
With this training behind him. he
seized bis opportunity to do a really
great work In governing and he is
making good.
Friends tell him that a prolonged
stay in Monrovia, the capital of Li
beria, lowlylng on a fever coast, will
mean bis death. The climate Is one
unusually severe on the European and
the native American.
Why Ha la There.
To explain just what be Is doing In
Liberia It Is necessary to delve a bit
Into the history of the country. It
will be recalled that in 1822 American
and European societies opposed to
slavery and desirous of helping the
black man established Liberia on the
west coast of Africa as a colony for
treed slaves. July 26, 1847, Liberia was
proclaimed a free and Independent na
tion, established a constitution modeled
on the American constitution and set
up in business among the nations of
the world.
Thltber, and from time to time since,
migrated American negroes. These and
their descendants to the total number
of some 20,000, are the dominating
population In Liberia, though there Is
a total population of some 2,000,000,
made up chiefly of bush people or sav
ages. Fifty different dialects are
spoken by them. Only a negro can be
come a citizen; only a citizen can own
property, and only a property owner
can exercise the franchise. The 20,000
retain the governing control of the
country. A tew descendants of original
natives also have gained citizenship.
Liborla has a coast line of some 350
miles, and its boundaries run back Into
the timbered hills about 200 miles. The
British colony of Sierra Leone and the
French colony of the Ivory coast close
In the country by lurid, these two form
ing' llireo sides of its boundary, and
the sea Its fourth. Germany, too, has
a stake In the country, since the great
er portion of the trade Is In German
hands.
In 1909, Liberia sent a commission to
the United States to ask the aid of this
country, always her very good friend,
in straightening out her financial diffi
culties. During the following year an
American commission, headed by Dr.
Roland P. Falknor, went to Liberia and
made a study of conditions. As a re
sult of the commission's recommenda
tion la 1911 an agreement was entered
Jjl
;- i ' ..."
.ilLf i'at " iLJ
into by which New York bankers
loaned to Liberia approximately $1,
700,000 for 40 years. This was enough
to refund all the outstanding foreign
loans to put Liberia on her feet
financially.
It was provided In the agreement
that a foreign receivership should be
established to collect Liberia's customs
revenue, her head money revenues and
the rubber tax. The receivership was
to consist of an American comptroller,
and -British, French and German sub
comptrollers. These four were appointed by the
Llbcrlan government on nomination
by their respective countries. They are
officers of Liberia, not of their own
nation, and are paid out of Its receipts
Mr. Clark, as the American member
of the receivership, Is comptroller of
the Llberian revenues, and this Is the
work upon which he is engaged.
Country Is Rich.
Slender,' strong featured, his dark
hair shot with gray, Mr. Clark In ap
pearance Is the typical New England
university man alert, alive, keen, In
telligent. And with it all he has the
mark that long nubile service in Wash
lngton puts on its men the mark of
courteousness, simplicity and frank'
ness In demeanor and expression. In
a conversation at the University flub
during his stay In Washington Mr.
Clark told something of the country.
Said be:
"Liberia Is extraordinarily rich Ire
natural products, but has been littld
developed. No less that 22 varieties
of rubber-producing plants grow there.
Rubber production Is a staple Indus
try, though most of the rubber comes!
from the: natural and not the cultl.
vated groves. Palm oil and oll-beartng
palm nuts are other large products.
With an unlimited market for palm)
oil, there are great possibilities In tblSj
industry. i
"The coffee plant is Indigenous to
Liberia. The elephant coffee berry,
grows there In abundance. It has a
peculiar flavor, the taste for which is
acquired, but, once acquired, one pre
fers this to all other coffees.' The ele
phant berry also Is used in producing
fine blends. Brazil and other coffee
growing countries obtained their orig
inal stock in many instances from LI-,
beria, and still go there for scions for
use In plant breeding.
"The coastal couuory of Liberia Is
low and. In places, marshy. No harbors
exist, but at Monrovia is a splendid
roadstead. Relatively small sums ex
pended In the construction of break
waters would create an ideal harbor.
The level country Is well covered by
vegetation.
"Development of the natural re
sources of the country has hardly be
gun. What stands In the way Is lack
of transportation. There are no rail
roads, practically no roads. 1 havo
never seen a wheeled vehicle In Li
beria, savo small hand trucks in use
In the stores In the towns. I have
never seen a beast of burden In tho
country.
"Travel Is all on foot and one can go
only 10 or 12 miles a day through the
Jungle. All goods are transported by
hand. Consider that it takes a man at
loast two days to carry to the sea
coast a load of palm oil or nuts or
rubber, and you can readily see that
the cost of transportation just about
eats up the selling price of the product.
"Nevertheless trade thrives. The ex
tent to which It would reach with
transportation and with Intelligent de
velopment of the natural resources is
almost unbelievable,"
