DR. FELIX M. KEESING, a graduate of New Zealand and former Fellow of the Rockefeller Foundation, joined the re search staff of the Institute of Pacific Relations, and became director of a international research project on “Depen dencies and Native Peoples of the Pacific.”

During this work he made a detailed study of Samoan conditions. The result is a new book, “Modern Samoa,” which is a comprehensive survey of the mandated territory of Western Samoa (Savi’i and Upolu), and eastern or American Samoa, (Tutila, Manu’a, and other islands). It deals in authoritative fashion with what is called the “Mau Problem.”
