Attack on “Local-born”

Problem Samoan Land for 10 Young Men From Our Own Correspondent.

Apia, Dec. 13.

TEN local-born (European-Samoan) young men have been selected as the successful applicants for ten 50-acre blocks of land made available by the Land Settlement Board. They are to be taken shortly to their respective new holdings at Saleimoa, and shown over the place.

The actual work on the settlement is to start in the spring of next year, when 10 acres of each plot will be cleared and planted in bananas. Water by then will be laid onto the settlement, and road communication will be completed.
