NO UNREST IN SAMOA
Nazi Allegations Denied MANY OFFERS OF SERVICE (British Official Wireless) (Received December 1, 6.30 p.m.) RUGBY, November 30. It is authoritatively stated that a German broadcast reporting the Samoan nation’s unrest is untrue and may have arisen from the fact that 15 pro-Nazi German nationals have been transferred to New Zealand for internment. There have been no efforts at suppression, because none is necessary. The recent elections to the native legislative body passed off successfully and offers for local and overseas service, both from Europeans and Samoans, have been numerous. Samoa is administered by New Zealand under a League of Nations mandate and these offers have not been accepted.
