Euronesians Are “Non-Aryans”!
Some Facts For "Nazis" In Samoa
Letter to the Editor IT may be considered a strange anomaly that some of our local born residents, of mixed German- Samoan descent, seem to be still under the illusion that they will be accepted as full-fledged Germans under the Nazi regime, and they are in favour, therefore, of the return of Germany to Samoa.
The writer has had access recently to some official documents, issued by the Nazi authorities in Germany, in which it was expressly stated that anybody having a Samoan mother or grandmother is treated as a “Non-
Aryan”, under the Nazi racial policy.
From this fact, our Euronesian-Nazi enthusiasts, who “Heil Hitler” so ex cessively—especially after having en joyed the good cheer of a party—may form some idea of their fate, if Samoa is ever to see the Swastika flag hoisted.
It is fortunate for them that this possibility is remote. They may con sole themselves by remembering the European status and full liberty they enjoy under the protection of the Union Jack.
I am, etc.,
Happy Jack.
