SIR JAMES'ALLEN RECEIVES MANDATE. , DELAY CAUSES UNREST. toatnUlaa and V.Z. C&bi* AuseocJ«ttoa LONDON, January 27. -In response to New Zealand’s urgings, the Samoan Mandate has been handed over to Sir James Allen. New Zealand strongly urged that the' continued failure to issue the actual document was producing unrest in Samoa, where agitators were spreading the belief that the Dominion would finally not be given control, which would eventually ■be restored to Germany. The document does not differ in any essentials from the draft presented at Geneva. Australia’s Mandate has not yet reached Senator Mfilen. A peculiar position has originated through thp Commonwealth claiming the right to’ receive the document directly as a member of sha League through the King without the intervention of the British Government.
