Apia, Nov. 15.
A JOINT committee representing the New Zealand Public Service Com missioner and the New Zealand Public Service Association arrived in Apia by air on October 20 last to report on salaries and general conditions in the Samoan Public Service.
The Committee consisted of Mr. A. G.
Rodda (chairman) of the Public Ser vice Commission staff, Mr. C. H. Quin, chief clerk, Island Territories Department, and Mr. J. Turnbull, general secretary of the Public Service Association. The latter two gentlemen have served terms in the Samoan Public Service and so are well conversant with conditions in the service.
During their stay of two weeks the committee thoroughly investigated con ditions in the Territory and obtained data regarding the greatly increased cost of living.
The committee has now left by air and is to submit a full report of its findings to the New Zealand Government.
