TWO
 ISLAND HOLD
 FERENCE
(By Associated Press)


 PAGO, PAGO Nov. 22-(By Mail)-Governor Foyer, U. s. N. of American Samoa recently paid a visit to the Administra- tor of British or Western Sa. moa, lately German Samoa. : There were matters of mutual interest to talk over concern ing the relationship of the two island governments be- tween the two governors. Gov ernor Foyer left Pago Pago in the U. $. "Samoa" on the 2Oth October accompanied with a staff of officers. Colonel Lo- gan the administrator of West ern Samoa entertained the American governor at the Brit ish government house at Vail ina which was the home of the late Robert Louis Stevenson. The visitors were treated most hospitably and they remained several days longer, with their host than they intended to. Governor Foyer took also with him the Fitafita band and it proved to be the admiration of all in Western Samoa who were enabled to assemble to hear their performances.
 The visit resulted in several very satisfactory arrange ments concerning matters of interest to the two govern mentS.
 The U. s. "Samoa" is the steamer "Solf" which was taken possession of by the U. $. navy at the declaration of war with Germany. The ravy department has permitted the name to be changed to that of "SamOa."
 Several months ago Cover nor Foyer was enabled with the steamer to courteous1o< 1o<T-f.f-zi der a service to the British ad- ministratOr who had a number of island laborers from the Sol omon islands who had to be re- turned to their homes as their indentures with the German firms at Apia were up. As many islanders as could be conveyed in the U. s. s. Samoa were taken to their homes from Apia and the British admins trator was thus enabled toj show good faith towards these laborers regarding their con- tracts with the Germans. There was no British vessel available for the purpose.

EXTRA SESSION,

this radical departure from the mil
itary traditions of the country"
In answer to the plea, newspapers
are found thus far to favor--about
five to one-the adoption OF some uni
versal training plan.
But. according to the military au-
thorities here. the newspapers are
far ahead of the people" on the
question. kilograms and letters from
the folks back home" show strong
aversion to any compulsory universal
service, or training.
This registration OF public opinion
is being carefully compiled and will
be consulted by the president before
he addresses congress next month.
It is probable he will not recommend
the adoption Of any specific plan. but
will strongly urge some training mea-
sure.
Senator Chamberlain today said he
planned to re-introduce his own uni
versal service bill and "try to get It
through in some FORM"
The president will also urge imme-
diate action on a measure to extend
the powers Of the shipping board ito
meet the special needs OF the new sit
uation into which our commerce has
been forced"
Developments between now and
April 16. Of course. may entirely
change and increase the scope Of the
presidents preparedness program.
In addition to. the outstanding pre-
paredness measures. the president
will ask the new congress to act on
the following:
Increase OF the gold reserve OF the
national banking system to meet "the
unusual circumstances Of the exist
ing financial situation"
Appropriation OF funds for West
Point and action upon the general
deficiency bill.
Increase Of the membership OF the
interstate commerce commission.
Little doubt is expressed here that
congress will remain in session
throughout the summer II it is to
enact this program.
II appears inevitable now that the
whole railroad legislative program
will have to be threshed ont by the
new congress. II railroad strike
is called, as is threatened. or II the
United States supreme court declares
the Adamson eight-hour law uncon.
stitutional, new legislation may have
to be substituted.
This would provoke a long and
bitter fight.

THE STORY OF THE NATION

THE STORY OF THE NATION
The proper understanding of the
fundamentals of government requires
an understanding of the history of
the country and OF the nation. The
average layman becomes pretty rusty
upon historical questions unless he
continues q comprehensive course Of
reading, and to aid in this work the
bureau OF education, of the depart
ment of the interior. has added to its
list Of reading courses a course in
American history. In announcing the
new course, the commissioner de-
clares:
IAN American citizens should
know more Of the history Of their
country than can be learned from the
meager outlines Of the textbooks used
in our elementary and high schools.
That large number of people should
have such general and comprehen-
sive knowledge OF the country. its
life and growth and the form and
spirit OF its institutions, as can be
gained only from reading at least
several of the standard histories is
essential to the welfare OF the re-
public. At every national election
and at many state and municipal
elections the people are called upon
to vote on policies which cannot be
intelligently determined without such
knowledge. Legislators and other
Representatives OF the people are con-
stantly in need Of 1t. Only out OF
the history of the past can come an
und arstanding of the principles by
which they must be guided II they are
to work wisely for the future. To
read extensively and deeply in the
history of the country becomes there
fore patriotic duty. Only thus can
one love his land with love Far
brought from out the storied past,
used within the present and trans.
fused through future time by power

HOPE IN DIPLOMATS RETURN

HOPE IN DIPLOMATS RETURN
The return OF BernstorfY to Berlin
and Of Gerard to Washington VIII
bring to each of the great national
capitals a new atmosphere and pos
sibly new view point concernms
the relations between the two coun-
tries. Already 1t is announced that
the Bernstorff party Is trying to
change the attitude Of the German
nation in the submarine campaign.
At long range, and colored by dis
torted reports. the attitude Of Am
erica toward Germany has no doubt
been grossly misrepresented at Ber-
lin. Bernstorff knows that the desire
OF the United States is desire for
peace. He knows that peace can be
maintained II II is the desire OF his
country to maintain peace Gerard,
on the other hand, can give a first
hand version OF conditions across the
water, and this will guide the admin
istration in Its dealings with the
kaiser. The interests OF peace will
certainly be served through the re-
turn OF these diplomats to their re-
spective countries at this time.

Any kind of a contribution does

to say that our fellow citizens are
