MANDATES COMMISSION
THE REPORT ON SAMOA. DESCRIBED AS A COMPROMISE. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) GENEVA, June 28. The Mandates Commission's report on Samoa condemns in the strongest terms Mr Nelson’s activities, but considers that General Richardson did not act with sufficient firmness in the early stages of thr trouble, and expresses the hope that the forces now available on the island will enable the maintenance of order in future. Regarding the native petition, the report states that the facts contained therein are fully covered in the Royal Commission’s report. The Mandates Commission’s report is quite brief. There were two opinions in the commission. One favoured a still briefer report, while the other desired to deal with each point raised seriatim. The result amounts to a compromise not satisfying to either side.—Australian Press Association—United Service.
