In addition, neighboring states, native tribel,disease, and poverty have made life dangerous and difficult. The government has tried desperately, through loans and a trickle of trade, to make ends meet.Anxiety about financial matters lessened somewhat when,in 1910, the United States accepted responsibility for Liberias sruvival. However, not until Harvey Firestone, the American rubber king,decided that the United States must produce itsown rubber----with Liberia as the site of the rubber plantations----did liberia have much hope of paying its debts and balancing its budget.
