And Samoa.
From Our Own Correspondent.
APIA, June 10.
FOR his eminently sane and sensible study on Samoan political affairs, Mr. Gordon Thomas must be con gratulated and sincerely complimented.
His article “An Impartial Man looks at Samoa,” “P.I.M.” 24/4/33, has met with the undivided applause of Samoan readers, who, themselves living in an atmosphere heated by the pros and cons of the controversy, appreciate the point of view of a disinterested observer. If a settlement of the vexed and seemingly endless controversy should be entrusted to Mr. Thomas and perhaps a few more experienced and practical judges like him, the general feeling is that there would be hope of a permanent and satisfactory solution being found.
So far, the stubbornness of both sides has blocked any attempt to get at such a solution, and it must be stated that recent activities of the Administration have made matters decidedly worse.
