VISITORS TO SAMOA.
RESTRICTION ON GERMANS.
WITHDRAWAL IN NOVEMBER.
A civil disability restricting the right of Germans and Austro-Hungarians to visit and reside in Western Samoa is removed by an Order-in-Council issued last week.
Under the Samoan Immigration Consolidation Order, 1924, Germans,' who were within the bounds of the German Empire in Europe on the outbreak of the war, were prohibited from landing in Samoa except with a licence from the Administrator, a similar ban being placed on Austro-Hungarians. The restriction also applied to ex-enemy subjects whose fathers came within the terms of the order." A further disability made them subject to deportation orders merely on the grounds of their nationality and European residence on the outbreak of the war. The removal of the restrictions is to date from November 1 next.
