COMMONWEALTH MINISTERS
MEETING NEXT YEAR POSSIBLE
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Nov. 12. The Commonwealth Ministers may meet at Colombo during 1950 to discuss foreign affairs. Such a meeting was not practicable this year, but it would possibly take place in 1950, although no arrangements had yet been made, said fhe Prime Minister (the Rt. Hori. P. Fraser) to-day. Mr Fraser said the conference of Prime Ministers in October, 1948, made a recommendation that there should be periodical meetings of Commonwealth Ministers in the intervals between the meetings of the Prime Ministers themselves. Such a conference' (of Commonwealth Finance Ministers) was held in London in July. ■■■■■“ -v - ’ ' f f
"Such meetings are difficult to organise because the preoccupations of the Ministers /.concerned,’’ said Mr Fraser,’‘“but if and when one ist held, it is likely that it would include a review of all major current problems in international affairs.” •
