German Opinion In
From a Special Correspondent
Apia, Oct. 20.
I WONDER whether it has occurred to anyone that the present is an oppor tune time for Britain and New Zea land to declare the Mandate over Western Samoa at an end, and to formally annex Western Samoa to the British Empire.
I can assure you that the move would be heartily supported by practically the whole of the natives, and it may interest you to know that about 90 per cent, of the Germans, and practically the whole of the half-German population, would be in favour of the move.
The Germans in Samoa generally show no disposition to apologise for their Ger man blood; but I should say that most of them are wholly and sincerely anti- Nazi, and hope fervently for an over throw of the Nazi power, and closer re lations between the British and the Ger mans in the future.
