clearly that the recognition of Mataafa.

Germany-would doubtless act together
for what WAS regarded os the best in

on placing Malietoa on the throne Is
contrary to he wishes OF the great ma
jority OF the Samoans. will result in
continual internal disorder and blood
shed. then, in the interest of peace and
order he believes that the three govern
ments will unite In recognizing Mataafa.
The result of this course. he says. will
be no reflection on Justice Chambers. as
it will be based entirely on expedicncy
and will not be an ovcrruling OF his
action. At the same time II is said

is in part foreshadowed in the official
