Goodwill And Co-Operation
p. 35 · Read in the full issue
I had 51/2 days in Apia in which to assemble the story of Western Samoa’s past, present, and future —and two days were Saturday and Sunday. So, from early Monday until late Wednesday, I either ran or leaped from office, to store, to plantation; pursued VIP’s with a camera; or struggled with Samoa's gracious, overwhelming hospitality.
The Samoans, from VIP’s to courteous young clerks, forgave me my haste and hurry, and helped where they could.
My grateful thanks to them all.
Especially would I thank Government Secretary A. H. Leveston, his tireless assistant Eddie Stehlin, and that most conscientious PRO officer Kelaki who, in the production of photographs, made all things possible.
Independent Samoa has its problems, right ahead, but, while it cherishes that spirit of goodwill and co-operation, it
can surmount them all.-
