tration.~ The request for self-gov-
ernment appears to spring from a
desire for full management of their
own affairs. AS for American Samoa,
it is under the paternal care of the
Navy Department. Both regimes
have protected native interests,
guarded them from foreign exploita-
ton, and done much for health, edu-
cation, and general well-being.
The indications are that New
Zealand will be amenable to native
requests for larger measure of self
government. The request for ma
tional reunion, however, runs up
against grave diplomatic obstacles.
Pago Pago is one of our strategic
bastions in the Pacific, and Tutuila
is relatively small island with only
$4,000 inhabitants. Western Samoa
contains the bulk of the Samoan
people, exceeding $4,000. However,
the obvious national self conscious
ness of the Samoan stock and their
apparent desire for political unifica-
ton is factor to be taken into con-
sideration,

Foremen and the Law

The Supreme Court, splitting
along unusual lines in another five-
.to-four decision, has held that the
Packard Motor Car Company must
bargain with the Foremen's Associa-
tic-1 Of America as the representa-
tive of its foremen and other su-
pervisory employees.
In arriving at this conclusion, the
court majority was interpreting the
intent of Congress when it enacted
the National Labor Relations Act in
1885. Placed in this narrow setting,
the issue is close one. but 1t may
be doubted that the ruling will ha We
lasting significance. For regardless
OF whether one may think that the
majority or the minority is right in
appraising the intent of the 1885
Congress, it seems rather evident
that the present Congress will dis
pose of the question before many
months have passed.
The Case bill. passed by large ma
jorities in both House and Senate
during the last Congress, but vetoed
by the President, would have speci-
fled that foremen were not covered
by the Wagner Act. And since SEN
timent in the present Congress
seems even more preponderantly to
the same effect, it may be expected
that the legislators soon will act on
the advice contained in this excerpt
from the courts majority opinion:
1T is for Congress-, not for us, to
create exceptions or qualifications
at odds with its (the Wagner Act's)
plain terms"

Sumoun Bid for Reunion

A Samoan petition to the United
States Trusteeship Council is an in
teresting indication of the awaken
ing self-consciousness of native
peoples in the remote reaches of the
Pacific Ocean. This petition, origi-
mating in Western Samoa, is two
fold. The first plea is for full self
government. The second request is
far-reaching in character. 1t asks
the United Nations to put an end to
the unnatural division" between
Western Samoa and American Sa-
moa, two island groups that have
been separated" for fifty eight years
under a three-power agreement
made in 1889 between Great Britain,
Germany and che United States.
The background of this Samoan
bid for what may be called national
self-determination is as follows: The
Samoan archipelago, situated almost
in mid-Pacific close to the 1nterna-
tional Date Line, is inhabited by
perhaps the purest, handsomest, and
most intelligent branch of the genial
Polynesian race. Indeed. tradition
has it that Samoa is the cradle of
the Polynesians, from which they
reputedly spread in their amazing
voyages by ocean-going canoes all
the way from New Zealand to Hawaii
and Tahiti.
When first brought in contact with
white men, the Samoans were politi-
cally in a stage similar to the Ha-
waiians before their close unification
under Kamehameha I. They ac-
knowledged an over king, but were
divided into many groups under
petty chieftains, the source of much
turbulence and civil strife. 1t is in
teresting to note that American in
fluence entered early. rights for
naval and coaling station having
been acquired by us in the splendid
harbor of Pago Pago on the island
Of Tutuila in 1872. In the larger
islands of Western Samoa, German
trading interests predominated.
In 1889, conflicting American, Ger
man and British claims led to the
establishment of tri-power pro-
tectorate, the native kingdom con-
tinuing nominally to exist. But fresh
native disturbances led to a parti-
ton of the archipelago between the
United States and Germany, Britain
withdrawing it's claims for COM
pensation elsewhere from Germany.
America got Tutuila and adjacent
islets in full sovereignty. Western
Samoa was Germany colony until
World War I, when it was conquered
by British and Australian forces. BY
the Versailles settlement It was
transformed into League Mandate

Great Britain's withdrawal from India

The Behrmun Case

In their armed seizure of an
American merchant ship at Batavia
In the Netherlands East Indies, the
Dutch have taken a step that they
would do well to explain. On the
face OF things, the action seems
high handed, and unless there is
clear justification for it, it can do
injury to the friendly relations be-
tween our two countries.
The ship-the privately operated
Martin Behrman-arrived at Ba-
tavia several days ago from Cheri-
bon, a port under control of the
insurgent Indonesians. At Cheribon
1t had taken on a cargo of rubber,
sugar, cinchona and other products
valued at $3,000,0OO. In Batavia the
Dutch authorities, who had warned
: against the Cheribon loading, de-
tained the vessel and ordered that
the cargo be unloaded and turned
over to them there. They did so on
the ground that the rubber, sugar,
ETC., came from European owned
plantations illegally seiezd by the
Indonesians and that the Behrman's
operations violated blockade regu-
lations and the Netherlands interna-
tionally recognized jurisdiction over
lndonesia.
Having his own orders to proceed
with the cargo to the United States,
the Behrman's American captain
Captain Gray-refused to assent
and described the Dutch demand as
piratical. On the basis of reports
cabled to this country, the State
Department thereupon lodged a
protest with the Netherlands For
eign Office. Now, however, despite
the protest, the Dutch authorities
have forcibly seized the ship in order
to unload and take full possession
Of its cargo.
From the standpoint Of law, the
Dutch may be fully within their
rights. Reports are too conflicting
