“NOT PRO-GERMANS”
SAMOAN OPPOSITIONISTS INTERVIEW IN WELLINGTON Press Association. WELLINGTON, Thursday. The Hon. O. F. Nelson and Mr. A. G. Smyth, members of the Samoan Citi T zens’ Committee, now in Wellington, when interviewed to-day stated among other things that members of the committee and others who had criticised the Administration had been branded pro-Germans, which was absurd, since five of the six European members of the committee are British-born, and the other Samoan-born. The Hon. W. Nosworthy, in reply, says that he never applied the term pro-German, but he does say now that the members of the committee cannot evade responsibility for the charge that the disturbances of the Samoan people are being used to discredit New Zealand in the opinion of the world, and the incidents have been used by German propagandists and publicists in a campaign for the restoration of Germany’s lost colonies.
