TOO SLOW.
$ GERMANISING OF SAMOA?'" DR. SOLF CRITICISED. FRIENDSHIP TOR THE ENGLISH^ By Telegraph—Press Association—Oouyrieut (Rec. April 30, 5.5 p.m.) London, April 29. Tho "Morning Post's" Berlin correspondent reports that the Pan-German newspapers are complaining that the Germanising of Samca is proceeding too slowly under tho administration of Dr. Solf, "the Governor of Samoa. They state that Dr. Solf has shown undue partiality to the English .settlers. Dr. Solf, who is »t present in Berlin, denies the accusations, and .states that n certain "amount of friendship must be shown to tho English, inasmuch as much German capital is invested in English colonies, and the ruthless treatment of the English in Samoa might call for reprisals on Germans in English colonies. The Rhenish Wcstphalian "Gazette" retorts that English missionary enterprise is dangerously anti-German, and asks whether Dr. Solf can dispute that tho aspiration of every Englishman in the group is to see it joined with Australia or New Zealand.
