After the first World War Class mandates were arranged by a League of Nations. Western Samoa was one of the areas in the South Moana (Pacific - Asia Pacific) to be arranged without legitimacy with the League of Nations by the U.K. and France.
League of Nations Mandates
"The Treaty [Versailles Treaty of 28 June 1919] contained no provision for the mandates to be allocated on the basis of decisions taken by four members of the League acting in the name of the so-called "Principal Allied and Associated Powers". The decisions taken at the conferences of the Council of Four were not made on the basis of consultation or League unanimity as stipulated by the Covenant. As a result, the actions of the conferees were viewed as having no legitimacy."
In testimony before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations a former US State Department official who had been a member of the American Commission at Paris, testified that the United Kingdom and France had simply gone ahead and arranged the world to suit themselves.

US. Secretary Robert Lansing "I consider that the League of Nations at present is entirely useless. The great Powers have simply gone ahead and arranged the world to suit themselves. England and France in particular have gotten out of the Treaty everything that they wanted and the League of Nations can do nothing to alter any of the unjust clauses of the Treaty except by unaninimous consent of the members of the League, and the great Powers will never give their consent to changes in the interests of weaker peoples"
United States Secretary of State Robert Lansing was a member of the American Commission to Negotiate Peace at Paris in 1919. He explained that the system of mandates was a device created to conceal possible spoils of war under international law and who later resigned. The United States was not an official party to the Treaty of Versailles 1919, but sent their Ambassadors [American Commission at Paris] to attend the "Conference of Ambassadors" who later testified [A former US. State Department Official] that the U.K. and France, had illegitimately arranged several Mandates to support their positions.
The New Zealand Watch Dog parties late early 1900's
New political parties in New Zealand during the late 1800s and early 1900s, struggled with Maori and Pakeha Maori campaigns taking most of the political angles. New political parties with overseas links, then became for a time "Watch Dogs" in the Asia Pacific Region, for which they had no other option as the devastating World Wars were on the move. This unpredictable future in New Zealand politics boiled a threat of having to merge with other Maori campaigns with less Royalist invested stances. During this time a Maori New Zealand government was in fact taking office.
Since Aotearoa New Zealand as a whole had much better relations with Western Samoa than Britain did, New Zealand then became the designated spot for the best League of Nations relations liaison.
