LEADERSHIP IN SAMOA continued from page 17 universal progress. In the Legislative Assembly there have always been some members who have little to contribute constructively to the adaptation of Samoan life to the needs of modern times. Among the villages, there are not a few where the leaders have shown insufficient adaptability in face of changing needs and where, as a consequence, their authority is declining and the young men are tending to drift away. But the emergence of a progressive leadership, even if only here and there, is itself an indication of the vitality and flexibility of Samoan culture. Taken in conjunction with the more sympathetic and liberal policy of New Zealand in the years since the war it goes far towards explaining why Western Samoa is on the verge of taking its place in the world as a self-governing country.
