THE MAU IN AMERICAN SAMOA
PREMIER REPLIES TO MR HOLLAND AMERICA ALSO IS FIRM (Peh United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, January 26. Replying to Mr Holland, Mr Coates points out that certain reasons are alleged for dissatisfaction in Samoa with the New Zealand authorities, and asks, if they explain the unrest in Western Samoa, how is it that the Mau has extended its activities to American Samoa, where these reasons cannot hold good? Mr Coates quotes extensively from the American official organ to show that the Mau is interfering in the American territory and refusing to pay taxes. The reply of Captain Graham, the Governor, was that government would be administered according to the established Jaws.
