It is understood that the insertion of this clause
in the labourers' agreement is intended to regulate
a practice which has, in fact, been in force for some
time.
2. In this connection the Secretary of State for
the Colonies would be glad to obtain a current copy of
the form of agreement which labourers recruited in Hong Kong
who serve in Western Samoa are required to sign on arrival
and Mr.Thomas would be grateful if the High Commissioner
would be good enough to obtain a copy for communication
to Lord Passfield.
I am, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
S. MACATI
