MORE VOICE FOR NATIVES
CONGRESSIONAL COMMISSION
HONOLULU, 20th September
A Congressional Commission on Saturday completed the Honolulu hearings on tho question of "Government for American Samoa."
The American and Sanioan witnesses nearly all favoured more voice for the Sainoans in government under American supervision. _. The Anthropologist of the Bishop Museum, Dr. Stokes, urged Dominion status, with the exclusion of tourists. A group of Samoan chiefs suggested a civil governor, appointed by the United States President, with representation in the American Congress, and local legislation by a native assembly. The Commission has proceeded to Pago Pago for twelve days' investigation. '•_■
