OTTAWA. Feb. 6—The text of the Speech from lhe Throne, read by the Governor General to Par- iiamen‘. today, follows: Honorable members of the Senate: Members of the House of Com- mans:

I meet you under the shadow cf the loss which Canada, in common with all parts of the Empire, has sustained in the death of our lale beloved Sovereign. Kin»: George V. The sorrow so universally express- ed is but one of the many evi- dences of the neat regard in which His late Majesty was held by all men and nations. In no part of the King's Dominion: has the sense of national and personal loss been more deeply felt than in Canada. King George's patience and wis- dom, his example of courage and devotion to duty, throughout a reign of unparalleled anxieties,wiil be hcld in all our memories as a great heritage.

Extends Sympathy

1 join with you in extending pro- found sympathy in their bereave- ment to King Edward VIII. licr Majesty Queen Mary, and all the lnemiic a of the Royal Family. To- ward the new King, there already exists. on the part oi the people of Cunnda, a feeling of personal attachment and affection. occas- ioned by His Mayestyfil visits to this country, and the many friendships and wide acquaint- ances formed during the yea-rs he was known to us ail as the Prince of Wales. To these sentiments will now be added in increasing mea- surc those of loyalty and de- votion. '

I am profoundly sensible of the great honor of having been chosen as the King's representative in Canada. I am pleased that nfy meeting with the members of both Houses should be at the beginning of the first session of the eight- eenth Pnriiamcnt. it’ is .with the greatest pleasure that I look for- ward to the associations of the next few ycars.
