SAMOAN QUESTION
COMMISSION'S REPORT.
NELSON ROUNDLY CONDEMNED.
RICHARDSON NOT FIRM ENOUGH,
United Press Assn. —Rv Electric ’Telegraph Copyright, (Received 10.5 a.m.) LONDON, June 28.
The Mandates Commission report on Samoa condemns in the strongest terms Hon. 0. F. Nelsons’ activities and considers Genera! Richardson did not act with sufficient firmness in -the early stages. It expresses the hope that the forces now available on the island will ensure the maintenance Of order in future. Regarding the native petition, the report states 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 seratum. The result amounts to a compromise not satisfying to either side. —Australain Press Assn. —United Service.
