Flat Denial From Samoa

From Our Own Correspondent

Apia, Feb. 20.

ACCORDING to press reports, a New Zealander, who has arrived recently in London, has stated in the Daily Herald that British rule is fiercely attacked in broadcasts to the natives of Samoa and New Guinea, emanating from German stations.

This statement is completely without foundations, so far as Samoa is con cerned. No such broadcasts have been received in Samoa.

Apart from this, not a single Samoan native is in possession of a radio receiv ing outfit at the present time —though it is quite possible that the Samoans, with increasing prosperity, will become radio fans in the near future.
