SAMOAN MANDATE.

NOW HANDED OVER. \ TO ALLAY UNREST. (By Cable.—Preee Association.—Copyrlgnt) LONDON, January 28. In response to urgent messages from New Zealand, the mandate for Samoa has been handed to Sir James Allen (High Commissioner for New Zealand). The New Zealand Government strongly urged that the continued failure to issue the actual document was producing unrest in Samoa, where agitators were spreading the belief that control of the territory was not to be vested in the Dominion, but would be restored eventually to Germany. The document does not differ in any essential details from the draft presented at Geneva.

Australia's mandate f»r New Guinea has not yet reached Mr. E. D. Millen. A peculiar position has originated through the Comeonwealth claiming the right to receive the document direct, as a member of the League, through the King, without the intervention of the Imperial Government.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
