THE ANGLO-SAXON RACE.

Views of an Ex-Governor of New Zealand
Concerning the Samoan Islands.
SAN FRANoIsoo, Cal, March 23.-In the
White Book published at Berlin respect
ing Samoan matters, Prince Bismarck al
ludes to the arrest of Gallian, the English
man, by the German consul at Apia for
suggesting that Mataafa should write to
George Grey, x-governor of New Zealand,
as to the course the Samoans should pur-
sue.
Ex-Governor Grey, who is held in great
esteem in the colonies, when asked re-
specting his views by the Auckland Herald
as to Samoa, said
at would be far preferable to leave
each of these island groups with an indie
pendent government, settling all dis
putes among themselves by arbitration
and guided, if possible, by a commission
of foreign powers. 1t is clear that
America is aiming at this line of policy,
annexing none herself and doing her ut
most to preserve the peace of the Pacific.
This is also claimed to be the policy of
all English possessions in this part of the
world. America will eventually become
the leader of the Anglo-Saxon race, and
will displace England from the position
she now holds. Many eyes in this part
of the world are already being turned
toward America as the power that ia
likely to preserve the interests of the
Anglo Saxon race in the Pacific without
herself annexing anything or allowing
foreigners to do SO. 1t is clear that the
center of power among the Anglo-Saxon
race is shifting to America, as the center
of population has already done. 1t is
therefore unwise of England to neglect her
interests in such time of emergency.
The United States does not require a
standing army,and equently the whole
resources of the people SO circumstanced
can be devoted solely to the maintenance
of navy which would make the Anglo
Saxon race absolute masters of the
world.
