SAMOA
GERMAN TRADING STATIONS. QUESTION OF THEIR DISPOSAL. (Pm United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, March 22. When the Germans occupied Samoa a big German company, known as the D. H. and P. G., had trading stations in various parts of tire island. When the New' Zealand Government took over the German property it did not keep these stations in operation, but retained possession of them. The Administration has now decided definitely that it will reopen the stations under State auspices, and is accordingly offering the greated number of them for sale or. lease. The D. H. and P. G. showed excellent judgment in the selection of sites, and many of its trading stations occupied the best positions, so that they may be expected to lie disposed of without difficulty. Only British or Samoan-bom subjects, or British firms or companies, will be permitted to acquire the stations. The disposal of the sites is in accordance with the Administration’s policy of reducing as much as possible the expenses of the supervision of State administration.
