PACIFIC ISLANDS
VICE-REGAL, TOUR. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The visit of the Governor-General. Lord Galway, to the Pacific Islands, which was postponed last year because of an outbreak of rubella in several of the islands, will be begun from Auckland on July 6. The Governor-General will be accompanied by Viscountess Galway and will be attended by two aides-de-camp. Their Excellencies will travel in H.M.S. Achilles, which, in the course of her autumn cruising programme, will visit the Pacific Islands at the 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 deemed necessary to exclude several of the islands in the Cook Group which it had been customary for His Majesty’s representative to visit. The Governor-General will appoint the Chief Justice of■ New Zealand, Sir Michael Myers, to be his deputy during his temporary absence from the Dominion.
