IN SAMOA.
PR FA riKR’S STATEN 1 ENT. (By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) INVERCARGILL, March 9. The Prime Minister issued the following statement this evening:— “ A statement was published some time ago to the effect that the Administrator of tlie mandated territory of Western Samoa, General Sir G. Richardson, retires next May, but would remain in Samoa fora few months longer. This is not correct. General Richardson completes his term on the 16th inst, and has been appointed New Zealand’s representative at Geneva, when reports in connection with the mandates are being considered in June next. T' - selection of General Richardson to represent New Zealand a*t Geneva is the reason which prevents his reappointment as Administrator on the expiry of his present term of office. He will, however, continue to hold the present position until his successor is appointed and arrives in Samoa to assume the duties of Administrator. The name of the new Administrator will-be announced in due course.”
