Samoan High Chief
From Our Own Correspondent APIA, July 10.
HIGH Chief Fautaga, of Upolu, Western Samoa, was charged and convicted of “intimidation” in the Apia High Court in June, was fined £2O and subsequently de prived of his seat in the Fono of Faipule (Samoan Parliament).
Fautaga tried to compel two youths of his village to sell their copra to a certain co-operative store in which he was interested in stead of to a private store, as they wished. When they refused, he fined them.
