GOVERNOR-GENERAL
VISIT TO WESTERN SAMOA.
(Per United Press Association.)
Wellington, February 2.
The Governor-General, accompanied by Lady Bledisloe, proposes to leave Auckland on April 11 next for the purpose of paying official visits to Apia, Western Samoa and Rarotonga. They expect to be absent for about three weeks.
Their Excellencies will travel on the Diomede, which in the course of her Autumn cruising programme will visit the Pacific Islands.
Although a visit to the outlying territories administered by the New Zealand Government has not been made by a Governor-General since 1926, considerations of economy render it on this occasion advisable, in the opinion of his Excellency and his Ministers, to exclude from the itinerary visits to some of the islands in the Cook group which it has been customary for his Majesty’s representative to visit in the past. The GovernorGeneral will appoint the Chief Justice of New Zealand to be his deputy during his temporary absence.
