THE EMPIRE.
FUTURE GOVERNMENT, .VIEWS OF NEW ZEALANDERS. PREMIERS SHOULD MEET. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received June 8, 5.5 p.m. London, June 7. Sir John Findlay, of New Zealand, addressed the Colonial Institute on the future government of the Empire. He opposed an Imperial Federation and advocated a conference of Prime Ministers every two years, with intermediate Ministerial conferences. Mr. W. F. Massey declared an Imperial Parliament was impossible and the present system was the best. The only weakness was the impracticability of a Dominion tendering advice to the Crown. Sir Robert Stout was of opinion that a federation would necessitate a written constitution, thereby reducing the Dominions to the level of the States within the American Federation. —Aus.N.Z. Cable Assn.
