FTTHE NZ representative to the UN, X Mr. L. K. Munro, has informed the Trusteeship Council that his Government has no objection to the abolition of the British preferential tariff and the sub stitution of a general tariff in Western Samoa.
Mr. Munro said that the Govern ment of Western Samoa had been informed of this and now could take appropriate action. He added that his Government did not feel it had any legal obligation to abolish or vary the preferential tariff in Western Samoa, but it felt it should defer to the wishes of the Samoan people as expressed through their Legislative Assembly.
