IMPERIAL VISITS.

DOMINIONS SECRETARY'S CHANCE. (bt cable—tress AssocuTios—eorraicHT.) (RECTER's TEIKORAMS.) (Received June 14th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Juno 12. Presiding at a meeting of tho Victoria League at tho Guildhall, Mr Amcry (Colonial Secretary), said the reorganisation of the Colonial Office would make it easier for the Secretary of Stato for Dominion Affairs to visit the outer portions of tho Empire. PRESS COMMENT. COMBINATION OF OFFICES DISAPPROVED. (ACB7&AUAK AXD K. 7. CASUS A5300A1103.) LONDON, June 13. Tho "Daily Telegraph," commenting on the Dominion Secretaryship, thinks tho new arrangement, while offering advantages at present, is unlikely to tw perpetuated. "The responsibilities of both tho Dominions and the Colonial Office are bound to inerease until they becomo too heavy for one man. Complete divorce bewcen the the Colonial Office and the Department of Stato for Dominions Affairs may prove only a matter of time." Tho "Daily Chronicle" says: "We do not think the plan by which the new Secretaryship of State for the Dominions is combined with the Colonial Seerctaryship, in tho hands of a single Minister, ought to be continued for long. It might havo been belter, from tho viewpoint of satisfying the Dominions' sentiment, not to have combined them even temporarily."
