Police fetched my station. They took fittings, including

I slept well that night. The canoe and put it inside the Police photographs of it and off all its the paddle.

On Saturday morning after I had eaten some good food the Chief of Police took me to the Office of the Gover­nor. I marvelled again at the new sights I saw such as the beautifully laid out roads, the many buildings and the large square with a bandstand in its center. The Governor's Office was filled with Naval officers stationed at Guam. The Governor greeted me happily and smiled kindly. He was old, perhaps 70 years of age. A native Chamorro named Jose Roberto, a clerk to the Governor, acted as interpreter. Through him, the Governor questioned me as follows: Governor: "Do you know the English language?n I'iga Pisa: "No" Governor: "Not even a few words?" I'iga Pisa: "No" Governor: "Do you understand the Chamorro language t I'iga Pisa: "Only a few small words such as I am using

now ia reply to you. 11

The Governor sent again for the German bandmaster to interpret, and my examination continued: Governor: "What is your name and to what country do

belong?" I'iga Pisa: 11 I am I'iga Pisa. I am a Samoan." Govemar: 11 I recognize you as a Samoan by your lavala­

va and the style of your canoe. I was in Samoa when the warships were wrecked there in the hurricane of 1889 and I met many Samoan chiefs. But I find it difficult to believe you are a Samoan for look at the map. Samoa is over 3,000 miles from the Mariana Islands. How could you come to these distant islands in such a -small canoe? Do you know a gentleman named Zuckswert?"

T' iga Pisa: 11Yes, I know him. rt Governor: "Who is he? 11

I' iga Pisa: "The captain of the German warship "Cormo-rant."

I saw the Governor go the telephone and from his conversation he learned that I was one of the ten Samoan Chiefs who had been exiled to Saipan by the orders of the Kaiser and the Samoan Colonial Governor. I learned later that Captain Zuckswert, with whom I had become acquainted on his visits to Samoa and to Saipan, had been anchored with SMS Cormorant at the Yap cable station. Upon the capture of Tien-Tsao by the Japanese he had been ordered to leave Yap with his ship and with the crew of the sunken 11Adler." Being pursued with his 350 men was interned there, ·though the Ameri­can Governor allowed 'then considerable liberty.

The Gove1mar asked me why we had been exiled from Samoa, how many of us there were on Saipan, whether we wished to return to Samoa, why I alone had come to Guam and for the details of my journey there, all of which I explained according to my understanding. I did not tell him of my landing on Rota, though. That is why the account printed in the "Guam Record" made it appear that I had come to Guam to learn English, now bhat there was British rule in Western Samoa. The GoveltDDr replied that only the end of the war would decide the government of Samoa and asked me if in event of an

attack on Guam I would fight and give my life for the f:ag and government of America. I replied in the ~af­firmative and signed a paper to which the signatures of the Governar and other officers were added. The Governor proceeded" Well, now you are under the jurisdiction of America

and no further harm shall come to you. But you shall remain here in Guam until the war is over, no matter how long that may be. After the war ends we shall see whether yr.! c..an 1 returned to Samoa. As fer your wish to learn English, you cannot attend school for you have no money to pay the fees. Would you like employment here with a firm or with the Government?

I' iga Pisa; "May I be poor in the hands of the Govern­ment. 11 (Evidently he meant that he wished to give his services to the Government).

The Governor smiled and said: Very well. You will eat with my servants for ' three nronths and I shall place you in work where you will learn the English language quickly, as you desire. But take off your Samoan lavalava and wear American clothers, for such lavalava are forbidden to be worn here. Now rest in my kitchen unti~ you feel strong again. In the meantime go along with this sergeant to the Marine store and fit yourself with American cloths which will be charged to me.

I went along with the German, wbo had interpreted, to the Marine barracks and obtained trousers, shirts, handkerchiefs, blankets, bed-covers, jackets, shoes, singlets, laundry soap and other things. Then I stayed and ate with the Governor's cooks. For a week I rested thus, while every day the Governor and his officers visited me. Their manners were very kind. When it came to the next Saturday I reported to the German that I was ready for work. The Governors office directed that I should be taken to the U.S. Navy pri~ting office to work. A kind gentleman gave full instructions to the yoeman in charge that I was to be a type-setter, so , as to learn the English language quickly, My pay was eight dollars a month. The Marines and Sailors of the U.S. ~avy who worked with me taught me Engl 0h and very kindly showed me everything in connection with the work. After a year my pay was raised to a dollar a day and I began to know some words of English and the printing business.

I continued in the printing office of the U.S. Naval station at Guam from June, 1915, until February, 1919. During those years Governor Maxwell returned to America and was succeeded by Governor Captain Smith, who in, 1918 was succeeed by Governor Captain Gilmer, to whom I petitioned for permission to leave Guam and return to Samoa. Yne Governor told me to come back after a weeks time so he would have time to contact Washington. When I returned he said;

Your return to Samoa is approved. The U.S. Navy will pay all your fares until you reach Samoa. Your route will be from Guam to Manila, then to Rabaul, Sidney, Fiji and so to Apia and your home, Samoa. The Navy will pay your passage only. When you go ashore at any of those places you will pay your own living expenses. But I realize that you have only a small sum of money saved in the bank and I would h-­grleved to hear news that you had died witho reaching Samoa and moreover Sidney is in a cold country. So I think you had better wait for a Navy vessel from Manila which will proceed to Honolulu in February of 1919 and you may travel free on it, for you have worked tor the c.s. Navy four years. Now that the war is ended and it is clear that the British will rule over Western Samoa, it is right that you should return. If you go by way of Honolulu I shall give you a reconunendation to the Admiril in Pearl Harbor so you may get work there and wait for a vessel to Sanoa. If you travel by any Navy ship you will travel free. I accepted gladly, for I had not expected a free

passage to Samoa. On February 7 1 took passage on the U.S.S. "Saturn" and travelled the 3,350 miles from Guam to Honolulu. '. n arrival at Pearl Harbor my letter of recorune~dation obtained employment for me in the Navy yard, where I stayed for thre months. With the same letter I obtained work for fiv months with Jew who owned a large printing business in Honlulu.

In September, 1919, the Secretary of Native Affairs in Western Samoa wrote to me that my family wished me to return. They had paid money into his office towards my fare but that in any case the New Zealand Government would pay my pasqage. He said that employment with the Native Affairc:; epartment in Sar1oa would be available for me if I wished it. I told farewell of the printing office and obtained a third class passage to Pago Pago, American Samoa, aboard the steamer "Sonoma." Two days after arriving in Pago Pago I crossed over to Apia on

~ auxiliary schooner "Manu'a." When I stepped on to tne w~arf at Apia no one knew me. I was supposed to be a half-caste from some other islands because I was wearing trousers and looked like a Euorpean. I was only known when I went to the fale of Vaoptmimatagi in Apia. Then I went and met all~family. A big feast was held for my return. In the month of December I be­gan to work in the Department of Native Affairs, where I have worked until this year, 19422 · Cou..~tries to which I have travelled wighout paying

' Wellington. We also visited factories and various other places. I have made three visits to the Tokelau islands. On all these journeys I travelled free for Government purposes.

true net worth is $4,105.00. Liabilities-these are the f,teas listed above such as accounts owed to stores, notes owed to banks or credit unions, personal loans from relatives, decreases in value of assets, etc. FIRST OPINION

The majority of the families in the Marianas, inclu­ding businessmen, our elected and appointed government leaders, and many of our administrators~ are in very poor control of their family finances. Too many families are not only spending all of their income but are borrowing money to improve their style of living without hope for additional income with w&ich to p y back the borrowed money! In these articles we hop~ to give you guidelines and methods with which you can

,learn, to control the spending habits of your family so that you can (1) get out of debt; (2) stay out of debt; (3) start saving money for the future (4) improve your current standard of living. Operation of the family budget should be a joint responsibility of the husband and wife, not just a blind operation by the wo an. If the man does not know their financial condition at all times he cannot make intelligent decisions abou~ his share of the income. He and she must communicate fre-

"'quent.ly to their mutual benefit. If one takes action without the full knowledge of the "tt'h.er, only confusion and mismam?ement can occur.

mis weel< c1nd next we will take another look at the Land Plannin~ At nassed by the Congress of Micronesia. As you nav r menber this Act gives the District Legis­lature t~e ·t ority to make laws which will set up planning Cor. issions and to make laws governing the use of land. We went over the general provisions of the Act before but this time we will look at it is detail.

The first responsibilities of the new planning Com­missions wi 11 be to prepare a new Master Plan ot· amend existion Plans. ~bese plans shall be prepare in such a way that ·ch part can be adapted individualv. The Act then ~oes on to discribe what these parts should be.

The first part is a statement of goals, standards, principles and the social, economic and cultural con­siderations 1 o., which the plan is based.

The plan is to begin then by stating what is desir­able for Sai.an future growth and what standards are to

· be used. It• qort of like a carpenter when he starts · building a house. He first gets the plans and 1),is

tools and am a~ur ng tape. The law goc· oo to state that the planning commis­

sion must tak~ the physical conditions of the area into account along with the customs and land use patterns of the people.

The nest lement or part of the plan is the land use element. This element is to show all present land use and all uses which are presently preposed. It includes land used for housing, industry, agriculture recrea­tion, educati ~. ln short a discription of how land is used in the .farianas. This element will also include a discription of ~ow the land should be used in the future for the next 20 years. Along with the future land use section will be a statement of recomended po­pulation and ~·ilning density. This is a standard ,of how much lanJ ar be use to build a hotel, store or a house and ho,1 ar.y people can comfortably live in a given area.

Another elP-m~nt is the transportation, circulation, and communic i n element. This part of the plan will show all exi~ ~>n oads, airports harbor, channels and major connnuni~c1tio1 facilities like Kagmen and KJQR. It will also propo.e a future development plam showing where new ro ~ ar to go, side walis, boat dock, channels, an~ cornnunication facilities. There will also have star,dar~s for road width and type of paving. This part of the plan is particulary important sence it makes provision for people, supplies, and news to move through out the d4 strict and all the islands in the district.

A conservation_ £_l~ent forms the next part of the Master Plan. Th element is meant to protect develop­and utilize all natu~al resources which includes forests, sot , riv rs and other waters, fish and wild­life, minirel. and all other natueal resources. It may also cover r clamation of land and flood control, the prevention of pollution, soil erosion, and beach ero­sion and the protection of water supplies. It is in this part of the ~lan where our natural enviroment will be protected and we in turn will be protected from it. Plans couid be mad to provide drainage of some area which flood duri s:- '1eavy rains like Garapan and the area around Ike Su~upe. Areas which could be used in' the future as a water supply can also be save for that use until more water is needed. continued on page 11

creases, Nauru Pacific Line announced, were due mainly to rise in steve­doring costs in Australian ports.

Nauru Pacific Line noted the strong, adverse comment emanating from Micronesia but the Line considered that, even though it regretted the increase, Micronesians would be fully aware that they were inevitable.

Since Nauru Pacific Line ltegan its operation to MaJuro from the begin­ning of this year steve­doring costs in Australian ports have risen by an amount calculated to be slightly in excess of Aust $3.00 per ton. Trans­pacific Line indicated that the general public in Micronesia must be inform­ed of this increase and the reasons for it,, and that it should be made clear that Transpacific Itself would be able to present a freight rate reduction for inter Trust Terrib~ry cargoes, in­cluding that cargo tran­shipment by Nauru Pacific

er

Line to Majuro due to the savings created by using Majuro rather than Guam for transhipment. This rate reduction will be in the vicinity of U.S. $10.00 per ton for consum­able items.

Subsequent to the meeting Nauru Pacific Line has indicated that the increase will be intro­duced in two parts. As of 1 November 1972 a $3.00 increase in respect of both general and refrige­rated cargo will be intro- ' duced the Line obsorbing the balance of the in­crease proposed until the second increase component. ~ich is presently planned for implementation as of 1 May 1973.

I The meeting concluded

with an expression of sen­timent from both Trans­pacific Lines and Nauru Pacific Line that a high degree of satisfaction had been achieved and that the results flowing from the meeting would benefit Micronesia, Nauru and the South Pacific generally.

A baseball team for boys will be formed to play against the Trukese or the Palauans here at HHS.

"This is something everybody will enjoy
