"That the Pope's append, was inspired by the purest and loftiest motives goes with out saying, and it 'did not require Lord Robert Cecil's protest to prove that the Government' response was prompted by the highest impulse-reverence for reli- gion, respect for one of the principal feasts of the Roman Church, humanity towards the women and little children who take part in the Cologne procession, and perhaps, incidentally, but quite properly. the desire of showing the neutral world with what higher motives than those of our enemies we were waging war. None the less, it was an astounding blunder from the beginning a blunder that had its origin in want of historical memory want of knowledge of the psychology of the enemy, want of imagination, and even want of logical thought

Let me refer to the islands of Upolu and Savaii, the main islands of the Samoan group. These two islands, and the small islands adjacent to them, were seized by the Germans during the Boer war, with the consent of the British Gov- ernment. I visited Samou, and I have known many Chiefs of the group. Two Chiefs came as Ambassadors to New Zealand in 1885; Malieton, the then King

Sanwa, petitioned her Majesty Queen Victoria to annex Samoa to Britain. The that her Majesty's Government should New Zealand Government strongly urged yield to the Samoans request, but, as in other cases of Pacific islands, it was re- fosed. On my trip through Opolu in 1082 I met no Chief but, who was anxious that Britain should own their islands.
