EMPIRE STATESMEN.
SUG G ESTED C'o XF ER ENCES. MR. MASSEY’S OPINION. (BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION. • WELLINGTON, Dec. 9. Referring to the cabled discussion concerning the Constitution of the Empire, Mr Massey yesterday made a statement supplementary to his former adovcacy of representative Emu ire 'statesmen meeting occasionally ~in overseas dominions. “I agree almost entirely with the opinion expressed bv Mr Ainery,” said Mr Massey. ‘‘When representative statesmen of the Empire can come together in a round table conference they have no difficulty in arriving at an agreement, and” the oftencr they come together the better for. all concerned. As to meeting occasionally in overseas centres, I have advocated this on a number of occasions, and am confident it will be an advantageous arrangement. If the Secretary of State for tjip Colonies can find time to visit the Dominions, well and good. He will get a hearty welcome wherever lie goes, but better still would it be to have periodical conferences in different countries in the wav I have suggested.”
