The Samoa Act of last session requires that an order of deportation must be ratified by the Governor-General in Council before it becomes effective. It follows from this that the Government of the Dominion must have been satisfied, upon the proofs submitted to it, that it was necessary, in the interest of the mal'dated territory, that the persons who are being deported should be required to leave the group for the periods that are respectively specified. Consequently, while judgment should be suspended upon the action of the Administrator pending the receipt of fuller information, there would seem prima facie to be cause for concluding that it has been provoked to an extent that justified it.—‘‘Otago Daily Times.’’
