BRITAIN IN SAMOA.
COMPLAINTS FROM GERMANY,
THE ADMINISTRATOR'S EXPLANATION. By cable. —Press Association.—Copyright Received 30, 5.5 p.m. London, April 24. The Morning Post's Berlin correspondent reports that pan-German newspapers are complaining that the Germanising of Samoa is too slow under Herr Solf's administration. The latter has shown undue partiality to English settlers. Herr Solf, who is at present in Berlin, denies the accusations. He states that certain friendship must be shown to the English, inasmuch that German capital is invested in the English colonies and tuthless treatment of the English in Samoa might call for reprisals on Germans in English colonies. The Rhenish Westphalian Gazette retorts that English missionary enterprise is dangerously anti-German, and asks whether Herr Solf can dispute that it is ■(he aspiration of every Englishman in the group to see it joined to Australia or New Zealand.
