PACIFIC ISLANDS VISIT
BY LORD AND LADY GALWAY A SIX WEEKS’ TOUR The Governor-General, accompanied by Lady Galway, proposes to leave Auckland on July 6 for the purpose of paying official visits to Western Samoa, Niue, Rarotonga, and other islands in the Cook Group, and expects to be absent from the Dominion for about six weeks. Their Excellencies will travel in H.M.S. Leander, which, in the course of her autumn cruising programme, will visit the Pacific Islands at this particular time. The last visit by a Governor-General to the outlying territories administered by the New Zealand Government was made by Lord Bledisloe in 1933, when, for reasons of economy, it was considered necessary to exclude several of the islands in the Cook Group which it had been customary for His Majesty’s representative to visit in the past. The Governor-General will appoint the Chief Justice of New Zealand to be his deputy during his temporary absence from the Dominion.
