REPORT ON SAMOA
NOTABLE IMPROVEMENT IN CONDITIONS United Press Association—By Electrio Telegraph—Copyrigbt GENEVA, November 4. The Mandates Commission, after consideration of New Zealand’s report on Western Samoa, declared that there had been general improvement particularly commercially. Dr Campbell (New Zealand) told the Commission that as the result of the good will mission to Samoa, and the Government's abandonment of the repressive policy for one of political freedom of expression, native affairs had much improved. Non-co-operation with the Administration had ceased. The Mau continued as a semi-political organisation, partly supplying the psychological need of providing a means for ceremonial and social precedence and because its ambitions for self-government appealed to the Samoan nature.
