The. " ,. expected to be the last before Parliament opens three days later. will make a final re- view of the speech from the throne to be read by Governor-General Massey at the opening of the new session.

The speech contains an outline. in general terms. of the measures the government lane to put be- fore Parliament or approval. Al- though reports have described a number oi the measures proposed. the full legislative program is known only to cabinet.

LATE LIGHTS

And since not all the bills have been settled in detail. the Jan. 4 meeting likely will keep the lights burning late in the Parliament buildlngs' East Block which houses the cabinet chamber.

other pieces of legislation not mentioned in the throne speech doubtless will be brought forward during the session to meet future and unforeseen requirements. ,

since the measures outlined in the throne speech embody govern- ment policy. the speech forms the basis for an extended debate in
