IT'S THE ONLY SOLUTION
Tho Samoan Islands Should Be
Divided
BY THE THREE POWERS
Senator Morgan Says There Will Be
No Permanent Peace Until Such
an Arrangement He's Beor
Carried Out

NV York, April IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Sena-
tor John T. Morgan Of Alabama, a
leading member of the foreign relations
committee, when asked for an express
sion on the Samoan problem, said:
There is but one permanent solu-
ton of the Samoan question. That is
4 partition of the islands by the three
great powers which have by common
desire just formed commission to rec
oncile the differences between them
selves and the natives. The United
States, Great Britain and Germany will,
in my Judgment, act most wisely if
they Immediately proceed to a settle
ment. | fear little good will result in
a temporizing policy toward these war
like and bloodthirsty savages. What
ever sentiment we may entertain for
the rights of the Samoans, the arbi-
trary law of nature which prevents an
homogeneous assimilation of people will
ever be an insurmountable barrier to
peace. progress and civilization as
long as governmental control is by the
weaker class. The Samoan question in
view of the evident Intentions of the
United States, Great Britain and Ger
many has lessons in our own course
in the subjugation of the African and
in the fate of the Indian. The spread
of the highest type Of civilization rap
idly and ruthlessly encroaches upon
harbarsm, superstition and stupidity.
These stubborn laws Of nature cannot
be changed, and it is better that they
be recognized at the outset of the work
that is before the Samoan commission
and with instructions of the nations
represented thereon be given accord
ingly. In the pending diplomacy on this
question the United States with grace
and fairness can take the initiative as
she did several years ago in the treaty
arranged with Malietoa. England and
Germany then lost no time in following
our example and in securing the same
recognition accredited to US.
THE immediate purpose of the three
nations IS to secure permanent coallng
stations upon the islands. Once estab
lished, however, these stations cannot
be peaceably maintained under the ex-
listing conditions of the natives Until
completely subjected to the control of
the whites these savages will be a con-
slant menace and boodshed will fol-
low. 7 am thoroughly impressed with
the importance of partition, as I believe
that the immediate division of the ISL
and will bring about the speedy solu-
ton of trouble that may terminate
gradually with the practical extermin-
alton of the Samoan race. The United
States should havela coaling station at
Page Page. And then with the long
desired cable in the Pacific reaching
to Honolulu and to, Sydney, giving
communication with the home govern
ments, there will be little to interfere
with the spread Of civilization on the
Samoan islands"
