ACTION IN SAMOA.
"RIGHT COURSE TAKEN/'
(PBISS ASSOCIATION I2LZGEAM.) AUCKLAND, January 19. "Samoa is in a seditious ferment, and those who cross the Government's path and interfere must put up with the consequences," said the Prime Minister (Mr Coates) at Helensville last evening.
Mr Coates said it was a question of whether New Zealand or some body of citizens who may or may not live in Samoa is to govern that country. An effort had been made by several people to show their authority, but New Zealand was responsible for Samoa's administration and would not shirk carrying out that responsibility. Although the Opposition party was dissatisfied with what had been done, the Government had taken the right course, which would be followed in a manner creditable to Now Zealand.
Answering a questiouer, who asked whether a New Zealand resident would be deported without trial, Mr Coates observed that when a man is considered to be a menace to peace, order, and good government, he has to go 'where the Government tells him.
