May 2, 1945
GENERAL
ANATIONAL
MEMORANDUM OF THE LIBERIAN
RECORDS
GOVERNMENT ON THE DUMBARTON OAKS PROPOSALS
SERVICES
to
The Government of Liberia projects the following as her
viows and recommendations on the Dumbarton Oaks Plan:
The Government approves a large measure of the features
of the plan, and on these makes no comments; so that, only
on those points which this Government feels alterations, revi-
sions or other changes should be made, are specific mention
made in this memorandum.
As to paragraph three (3) Chapter I this Government
recommends the following: That in connection with the work-
ing out of details of whatever economic, social or other
humanitarian problems, as may be projected at the Conference,
care should be taken to see that definite and specific means
be set out therefor; as otherwise unjustifiable interference
in the internal affairs of nations might occur.
That in this respect request for advice and assistance,
etc., etc., should originate from the nation seeking the
solution of such problem or problems.
As one of the objectives of the organization is the
maintenance of a universal level of humanitarian action and
social conduct among the nations, to which the Liberian
Covernment unreservedly subscribes, the view of the Liberian
Government is that, in the event an allegation is made that
conditions not conforming to this objective have arisen in a
member state, then the allegation should be brought to the
attention of the state concerned for investigation and for
such action by it as the facts may warrant.
As to Chapter V, Section B, Subsection 1, this Govern-
ment recommends that in the last sentence in this section the
words, 'should not on its own initiative,' should be eliminated,
and the word, "may" substituted in their stead.
