"We are trying to do something to meet the labour position in Samoa,' stated Sir James- Allen, Acting-frimo Minister, to a "Times" reporter yesterday. "We have secured the right to ve-indenture coloured labour up to two years instead trf sis months only, and this will relieve the shortage somewhat. Many of the# indentured labourers wish to stay oW when the time for repatriation comes, hut we were limited by tht, British authorities to a six months' extension of the indentures, and now tho limit has been raised to two years."
