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. The nfififlllSnfiSi of the inter- national situation has contributed to the world's anxieties. My min- isters are confident that they ex- press the conviction of the people of Canada in adhering to the aims and ideals of the League of Nat- ions. and in seeking. in unison with IIICITIEJCI‘: of the League as lvcii as with other nations, to support by all appropriate and practical moans the maintenance of perce. and the establishment of a world order bnscd on justice and equity.

WARM TRIBUTE PAID TO THE LATE KING, OTTAWA, Feb.,(>-A legis- lative program (comparatively brief but providing for changes of far-reaching character was forecast in the Speech from the Throne read at t0day’s opening of Parliament. Nationalization of the Bank of Canada, constitutional re- form and the establishment of a national commission to deal with unemployment relief were some of the salient features. It was indicated radio broad- casting in Canada would be again overhauled by a special committee of the House of Commons and a further inquiry would bc conducted into the “monopolistic control of the im- portation and distribution of anthracite coal." Something is to be done with the Canadian National Railways. the speech indicated in a. paragraph which said amendments would be asked whichwould "serve to afford a. greater measure of governmental authority and responsibility to Par- liament." _ Prominence was given to Can- ada's continued adherence to the aims and ideals of thg League of Nations, although no specific men- tion was made of the conflict in Ethiopia or to Canadivs particip- ation iri League sanctions against Itaiy_ _ As was expected the speech opened with a warm tribute to Sh! late King George, expressions of sympathy and condolence to the Royal Family. and renewed pledges of loyalty and devotion to King Edward. Lord Tweedsmuir, presiding for the first time at the opening of Parliament, expressed appreciation of the honor of having been chosen Governor General of Canada. He expressed satisfaction that his first meeting with members was on the occasion of the first session of a new Parliament. Repeal Indicated Intention of the government to repeal the extraordinary powers ob- tained by the last administration to act independently of Parliament in the interests of "peaceprder and good government" was outlined in the speech, "It is proposed," the speech said. “to restore to Parliament its con- trol over taxation and expenditure by ending all measures which have deprived members of the House of Commons of this, control and which have served to invest the executive with unwarranted arbit- rary powers." , Nationalization of the Bank of Fresh westerly winds: fair and east winds and probably some snow’ in Nova Scoiin.
