The name James can be translated more than 1 way in Samoan. In Bible translations, the Book of James is translated as Iakopo, or Jacob, since there is no "Official" equivalent name for the name James.

Why is Samoa necessary to America?
Samoa offered a strategical point of operations for the US navy in the first half of the 2oth century. By politically annexing eastern Samoa as a US territory (now called American Samoa) it has allowed the US to operate it's most southern base south of the equator in the pacific. A coaling station was initially built here to allow their coal fired warships of the time to increase its operational range in the South Pacific! With the advent of nuclear power & bunker oil the coal station is redundant. Tutuila's harbour is a natural deep water port capable of holding US 120K + ton super carriers. Samoa's location is on the tip of the Tonga trench and this may be an advantage to slip boomers n hunter killer subs into the South Pacific
