Nelson, who is the President of the Welfare League, stating that the Administration on Thursday had ordered the removal of two chiefs, who are members of the Welfare League’s Committee, to the Island of Apolima, where they would have to remain during the pleasure of the Administrator, Major-General Sir George Richardson.
