ADMINISTRATOR OF SAMOA
TERM EXPIRES IN MAY
Dominion Special Service Auckland, February 9. The period for which Major-General Sir George Richardson was appointed Administrator of Western Samoa will expire in May. It is understood he will then return to New Zealand, though probably not until a few months later. General Richardson was appointed Administrator in 1923 for three years, and toward the end of that term yielded to the wishes of the Government and to representations by natives of Samoa expressed by their failpules that he should remain in office for a further two years. 'That he did so reluctantly is evident from an observation by the Governor-General, Sir Charles Fergusson, tn an address to the Auckland Rotary Club on Novepiber 30, 1926, in which he said that “much against the grain” General Richardson had agreed to stav for a further term, although his heart with with his family in New Zealand. General Richardson visited New Zealand at the end of 1925 to confer with the Government, and remained for several weeks.
