FORCED TO SIGN?
MR. MASON ASKS QUESTIONS
WELLINGTON, To-day. Samoan administration provided the subject of a question which Mr. H. G. R. Mason directed to the Prime Minister in the House yesterday. Mr. Coates was asked whether lie had noticed statements that compulsion was being exercised to secure the signatures of planters to a petition to Parliament from the islands and whether Government employees had been forbidden to subscribe to a certain newspaper. Mr. Mason also asked about two more chiefs having been deported, and wished to know if the Government would prevent the exercise of compulsion upon the planters and remove the restriction from the Government employees. The Prime Minister said had he been notified of the question he could have prepared an answer. Next week, however, he hoped to be more thoroughly acquainted with the position in the islands. He would then supply an answer to the questions.
