“SAMOANS ARE GENTLEMEN”
OPINION OF FORMER ADMINISTRATOR “If my wife were in Apia or in the backblocks of Samoa, I would not experience the slightest anxiety for her safety.” This is the opinion which Colonel R. Logan, former Administrator of Samoa, now visiting Auckland, entertains for the Samoan people. “The Samoans are gentlemen straight out,” the Colonel said this morning “and X notice with great regret that there has been some concern expressed about the safety of white women in the islands.” Colonel Logan, who arrived in New Zealand from England on Monday last, would not discuss the present trouble at the mandated territory, because he had not been in touch with the situation since he relinquished the position of Administrator in 1919. He is in New Zealand to transact private business and to visit his farm at Bucklands. After this he will return to Devonshire, where he has lived for the past eight years.
