Future of New Zealand,

Colonel Robert Logan, the New Zealand administrator of former German Samoa, says the future of the colony is very bright. Cattle-r raising and cocoanut- growing are two inn portant industries.
 Colonel Logan said that former German Samoa had been self SUD- porting since New Zealand military occupation. In 1917 trade increased over that of 1916 by over s1,oOO. 900; and the figures for 1918 would have been a record but for the epidemic of influenza. The increase in trade is now nearly all with the United States. Apia, said Colonel Logan, needs a basin and wharf where vessels nay discharge cargo in any weather ir- stead of having to discharge in the open roadstead.
