SAMOAN PARTITION
PROPOSED BY MORGAN
Alabama Senator's Plan to End
the Difficulty.
Nothing to Be Gained by a Tempe
rizing Policy.
The Arbitrary Law of Nature an In
surmOuntable Barrier to Peace
and Progress.

| When asked for an expression OF opinion
on the Samoan difficulty, Senator John I.
| Morgan, of Alabama, a leading member OF
| the Senate Committeeon Foreign Relations,
said:
/ There is but one permanent solution OF the
! Samoan question. That is partition of the isl

native Samoans.
The United States. Great Britain. and Ger
many WILL in my judgment, act most wisely II
I they Immediately proceed 10 a settlement on the
| natural theory that little good will result from
temporizing policy toward these warlike and
bloodtbirsty savages.
Whatever sentiment may entertain for the
rights of the SamOans. the arbitrary law OF ma
ture. which prevents ineongruous assimilation

rier 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 its lessons in country
in The sibjueation Of the African and in the
fate Of the Indian. The spread Of the highest
type OF civilization rapidly and rnthlessly en-
croaches upon barharism, superstition. and stu
pidiiy These stubborn laws Of nature cannot
be changed, and it is better that they he rec6g-
nized at the outset of the work that is before
the Samoan Commission. and that the instruc-
tions of the nations represented thereon be given
accordingly.
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 Msletoa. England and
Germany then lost time in following our ex-
ample. and in securing the recognition ac-
corded TO
The immediate purpose Of these three nations
is to secure permanent eosling stations upon the

vision Of the island will bring about the speedy
