People did not trouble with Tamasese, if they got speech with Brandeis; in the same way, they might not always trouble to ask Brandeis, if they had a hint direct from _Misi Ueba_.

In only one case, though it seems to have had many developments, do I find the premier personally committed.

The MacArthurs claimed the copra of Fasitotai on a district mortgage of three hundred dollars.

The German firm accepted a mortgage of the whole province of Aana, claimed the copra of Fasitotai as that of a part of Aana, and were supported by the government.

Here Brandeis was false to his own principle, that personal and village debts should come before provincial.
