SAMOAN PROTEST
SENDING OF DELEGATION TO i N.Z.
APIA, October 21.
The United Progressive Party of Western Samoa, formerly the Country Party, today lodged a protest with the Acting Administrator (Mr. A. C. Turnbull) against the expenditurel^ of sending any delegation to New Zealand. If, in spite of the protest, the Government granted permission for a Faipule delegation to go, then the United Progressive Party also wanted a similar privilege to send a delegation. The party also asked that the European to be appointed on the Finance Committee be nominated by the European taxpayers and not by the Administrator.
The Prime Minister (the; Rt; Hon. M. J. Savage) stated today that he had received no notification that a delegation was coming from Samoa.
