Samoa
THE term of the present Administrator of Samoa, Brigadier-General H. E.
Hart, will expire in March and it is ex pected that a new appointment will he announced shortly by the N.Z. Govern ment.
The view is taken in some quarters that to appoint a new man to the position, after General Hart has carried on suc cessfully for three years under very diffi cult conditions, and has obtained invalu able experience, is not a wise proceeding —in other words, that it would be better if General Hart were re-appointed. It is also reported, however, that General Hart does not desire re-appointment.
It is also stated that the appointment of a new Administrator might be made an occasion to seek again a conference with the remnants of the Mau, with a view to making another attempt to bring peace at last to Samoa.
