p. 48 · Read in the full issue
TRE Permanent Mandate Commission of the League of Nations on Novem ber 11 considered the report of the New Zealand Government on its administra tion of the mandate over Samoa for the year ended March 31 last. There was nothing of interest in the discussion.
Dr. Carel van Rappard (Switzerland), who presided, remarked that the opti mistic reports submitted to the League regarding Samoa had often been contra dicted by later developments. He said he thought that the New Zealand’s Gov ernment was sometimes over-optimistic in its reports.
