Welcomed On Arrival At
Auckland
(P.A.) AUCKLAND, October 6. Three paramount high chiefs of Samoa, who are the guests of the New Zealand Government, arrived in Auckland today by the Matua. ’They are the Hon. Malietoa Tanumafili, the Hon. Mataafa Faumuina Fiaame, and and the Hon. Tapua Tamasese, and they are accompanied by their wives. All three are Fautuas, official advisers to the Administrator of Western Samoa, and they have visited New Zealand on previous occasions. Mataafa and Tamasese are imposing figures, both well over 6 feet. Tamasese is a brother of the late Tamasese Leafoli, who was killed in the riots which occurred in Samoa in 1929. The party was met on arrival by the Mayor (Mr J. A. C. Allum) and Mr A. L. Lewis, of the Department of Island Territories. They will spend three days in Auckland, leaving for Wellington on Monday night.
