SAMOA TO GENEVA.
SIR GEORGE RICHARDSON.
DELEGATE FOR DOMINION.
ADMINISTRATION VACANCY.
SUCCESSOR NOT YET CHOSEN.
[BX telegraph.—press association.] v INVERCARGILL, Friday. The Prime Minister issued the following statement this evening:— "A statement was published some time ago to the effect that the Administrator of the mandated territory of Western Samoa, General Sir G. Richardson, retires next May, but would remain in Samoa for a few months longer. This is not correct. General Richardson completes his term on March 16, and has been appointed New Zealand's representative at Geneva, when reports in connection with mandates are being considered in June next.
"The selection of General Richardson to represent New Zealand at Geneva is the reason which prevents his reappointment as Administrator on the expiry of his present term of office. He will, however, continue to hold the present position until his successor is appointed and arrives in Samoa to assume the duties of Administrator. The name of the new Administrator will be announced in due course."
