Presidential election of 1927
The 1927 elections had two major issues: the use of foreign capital in Liberia, and the "Open Door Policy".wholly owned subsidiary, the Finance Corporation of America. An American financial advisor appointed by the United States controlled Liberia's finances and approved the country's annual budget. These concessions, which practically made Liberia a protectorate of the United States, were opposed both inside and outside the country.[2]
