RELATIONS IN SAMOA. The attitude of the United States toward the Samoan Islands furnishes an instructive chapter in the evolution oi national policy. Compared to its policy in Hawaii, the American Government until recently has shown little in- terest in securing a control over the islands in the South Pacific, but local conditions, together with the increase of American interests in the Pacific and the Far East, led us first to a policy of protection for Samoa, 1 and then to divi- sion and acqu...isition. 'The Samoan Islands, located 4200 miles southwest from San Francisco, -and 420 miles northeast of the Fijis, discovered in 1772 by a Hollander, are the largest and most populous Pacific group, with the exception of the Hawaiian Islands. Of the 13 islands in the group, only Savaii (700 square miles), Upolo (550 square miles), and Tutuila (55 square miles) are inhabited. The others are little more than barren volcanic rocks. The population is about 30, 000, and the area about equal to that of Rhode Island.
