NEW CONSTITUTION FOR MALTA
MINISTER MEETS CITIZENS DURING VISIT (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, August 9. The Secretary for the Colonies (Mr Malcolm MacDonald), who has arrived in Malta from Palestine, spent most of today interviewing political leaders and other prominent Maltese citizens about the new Constitution and other matters.
It will be recalled that on July 29, before the House of Commons rose for the long vacation, Mr MacDonald announced that he proposed shortly to submit to the King Letters Patent for a new Constitution for the island which would give the people a considerable measure of participation in the conduct of their own affairs. Mr MacDonald, who has been staying with the Governor (Sir Charles Bon-ham-Carter), will leave Malta tomorrow for London.
