New York, April ia specia; to the
Herald from Washington says:
Senator John L. Morgan Of Alabama, q
leading member of the foreign relations
committee, when asked for an expression
on the Samoan problem, said:
There is but one permanent solution
OF the Samoan question. That is a parti.
ton Of the islands by the three great
powers which have, by common desire,
just formed commission to reconcile the
differences between themselves and the
native Samoans.
The United States, Great Britain and
Germany will, in my Judgment, act most
wisely ii they at once proceed to q settle
ment. ! fear little good will result in a
temporizing policy toward these warlike
and bloodthirsty savages.
The Fate of the Indian.
whatever sentiment we may entertain
for the rights Of the Samoans, the arbi-
trary law OF nature which prevents an in
congruous assimilation Of people who 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 Germany, has lessons
to be learned from our course in the sub
jugation of Africa and in the fate OF the
Indian. These stubborn laws of nature
can not be changed, and it is better that
they be recognized at the outset Of the
work that is before the Samoan commits.
sion and that the instructions Of the ma.
tons represented therein be given accord
ingly.
America Should Lead.
"In the pending diplomacy on this ques-
ton the United States, with grace and
fairness, can take the initiative as she did
several years ago in the treaty arranged
with AIalietoa. England and Germany
then lost no time in following our exam
pie and in securing the same recognition
accorded to us.
''rhe immediate purpose Of the three
nations is to secure permanent coaling
stations upon the islands. Once establish
ed, however, these stations can not bt
peaceably maintained under the existing
conditions OF the natives. Until they are
completely under the control of the thre'
nations, bloodshed will follow. am thor
oughly impressed with the Importance o
partition, as ! believe the existing condi
tons OF the island will bring ,bout THU
solution.
