(Renter's TeieuramA (Received December 6, 10 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 5
Colonel Amary, Colonial Secretary, speaking at & luncheon of the Overseas League, replying to the suggestion that a new constitution for the Empire was necessary, declared nothing was seriously amiss with the present constitution of the .Empire. Wherever statesmen of the Empire are able to meet no difficulty is experienced in conducting Empire affairs and agreeing on a common policy. Difficulty arose during the intervals. He emphasised that rapidity of communication was no substitute for mouth-to-mouth discussion, adding that if Britain expected overseas Ministers to make efforts to come (o London for consultation, British Ministers must he equally prepared to go overseas to consult the Governments; particularly the Colonial Secretary, the natural part of whose duties should be such visits; He concluded by urging the fullest consultation and mutual understanding between all parts of the Empire.
