LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
MANDATE FOR SAMOA. MANUFACTURE OF ARMS. REGULATION PROPOSED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received Sept. 24, 5.5 p.m. Geneva, Sept. 23. During the discussion by the League of Nations on mandates, Sir James Allen referred to New Zealand’s administration of Samoa, especially the prohibition of liquor for both natives and whites, and the provision for the ultimate representation of the natives in the Legislative Council. Sir James Allen strongly urged the issue of the A. and B. mandates without delay, thus preventing unrest, which experience in Samoa showed was certain to arise in the absence of the mandate. At a meeting of the Council of the League Lord Robert Cecil proposed to fix a date for the convention to regulate the private manufacture of arms. Mr. A. L. Fisher refused to confront the Washington Conference with this as an accomplished fact, pointing out that the United States’ co-operation was essential. Lord Robert Cecil said he would ask the Assembly to fix the date of the convention regardless of the Washington Conference. It is expected this will lead to a heated debate. —Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
