No Decision on SPC Membership

No decision has yet been made to admit Western Samoa to the South Pacific Commission as a member country. The matter was discussed at a meeting of Com missioners held in Pago at the end of July immediately follow ing the Fifth South Pacific Con ference. It had been expected that first moves would be made at that meeting to admit Samoa.

Mr. C. G. R. McKay, NZ Commissioner, pressed hard for a decision, but met with no success. It is understood that the matter is to be raised again at a later meeting.
