My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

.To-day  being  the  fiftieth  anniversary  of  the 
marriage  of  My  parents,  I  cannot  forego  the 
opportunity  of  expressing  for  My  dear  Mother 
and  Myself  Our  grateful  sense of  the  devoted 
affection of  the  nation,  which  it  has  been  Her 
happiness to enjoy for so many years,  and which 
remains  to  support  and  console  Her  in  Her 
abiding sorrow. 

My  relations with  Foreign  Powers  continue to 

be friendly. 

In  December  last  an  armistice was  arranged 
between  the belligerent  Governments  in  South-
East  Europe.  They  chose  London  as  the place 
in  which  to  conduct  their  negotiations  for  a 
peace,  and I  welcomed  the  Delegates  who were 
sent for  that  purpose  and  gave  to  them  every 
facility that  was  in My  power. 
I  much  regret 
that,  owing  to  their  failure  to  come  to  an 
agreement,  the war  still continues. 

The  possible developments  of  the  war and the 
changes  that  must  result  from 
it  cannot, be 
without  interest for  the  Great  Powers,  who are 
neutral  and were  parties to the  Treaty of  Berlin. 
All  these  Powers  earnestly  desire to prevent  the 
war from spreading  and  to see  it  terminated  a3 
soon  as possible. 

My  Government  have,  especially  by  means 
of  the  Ambassadors  in  London,  kept  in  close 
touch  and  co-operation  with  the  other  Powers 
in the  endeavours,  in which  All  have  shared,  to 
preserve  concerted  view  and  action,  and  to 
establish  agreement  on  all  points  on  which 
differences might arise between  any of them. 

In this  a  large  measure  of  success  has  been 
achieved.  Agreement  has  been  reached  in 
principle  on matters of  the greatest  importance, 
and,  though  some points  are  still  under discus­
sion, I  am  hopeful that the consultations between 
the Powers  will  enable  them  not only  to  secure 
a  complete  understanding  amongst  themselves, 
but to exercise a beneficent influence in hastening 
the conclusion  of the war. 

My  Government  will  continue  to  co-operate 
with  the  other  Powers  with  the  most  earnest 
desire  to secure the peace of  Europe. 

During  last  year  the  Prime  Minister of  My 

Dominion  of  Canada  and  several  of  his  col­
leagues  visited this  country,  in order  to  confer 
with  My  Ministers  here on  matters of  common 
interest,  especially  those  relating  to  Naval 
Defence. 

The  Minister  for Defence of  My  Dominion of 
New  Zealand  has  lately  arrived  for  a  similar 
purpose. 

I  am confident that such an exchange  of views 

between  Members  of  its  responsible  Govern­
ments will  promote the solidarity  of the  Empire. 
The recent  gift  of  a  battleship  by  the  Malay 
States,  the  ready  consent of  the  New  Zealand 
Government  to  the  retention in  the  North  Sea 
Fleet of  the  battleship contributed  by  them, the 
steady progress towards  the establishment  of  the

Australian  Fleet,  and the  discussions  now pro-

And  a Motion  being made,  and  the  Question 
of Defence testify  to the  universal  desire  within

safety. 

And  a Debate  arising thereupon ; 

Affirmative. 

In My  Indian  Empire, on the 23rd  December, 
at the  ceremony  of  the  State  Entry  into Delhi, 
a wicked  attempt was  made  on  the life  of  My 
Governor  General  and Viceroy.  Through  the 
mercy  of  Divine  Providence  the  plot failed  in 
its full intent,  but I  deeply  regret that innocent 
lives were  sacrificed  and  that  the  Viceroy was 
gravely  wounded.  The  fortitude of  the Viceroy 
and Lady  Hardinge,  and the disciplined courage 
of  all  the  officers  of  Government,  have  My 
I  gratefully  acknowledge 
warmest  admiration. 
the expressions  of sympathetic loyalty  which the 
crime  has  evoked  from  the  Ruling  Chiefs  and 
from  all classes  of My  Indian  subjects. 

My  Commissioners  appointed  to report  on the 
requirements  of the Public  Service  in India have 
commenced  their  labours,  and  have  taken evi­
dence  at various Provincial centres in India  with 
regard  to  the  Indian  Civil  Service  and  the 
Provincial  Civil  Services. 

Gentlemen  of the  House  of Commons, 

The  Estimates  for  the  Service  of  the  ensuing 
year will  be  laid  before  you without  delay. 
I 
commend them  to  your favourable  consideration 
with  the more confidence in view of the sustained 
prosperity which,  as reflected  in  the statistics of 
trade  and  of  employment,  I  rejoice  to  see  that 
My  people  continue  to enjoy. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

The  attention  of  Parliament  will  again  be 
asked  to the  measures  in  regard  to which  there 
was  disagreement  between  the two  Houses last 
Session. 

In  view  of  your  arduous  labours  during  the 
past year the further  legislation  which  you  will 
be in vited to consider will necessarily be restricted 
within  narrow limits. 

A  measure will be brought forward to facilitate 
the progress  and  secure  the  completion  of Land 
Purchase  in Ireland. 

You  will  be  asked  to  authorise  a  guarantee 
from the Imperial  Exchequer  of  a  loan  by  the 
Government  of  the  Soudan,  for  ensuring  the 
prosperity  of that  territory  and the development 
therein  of the industry  of  Cotton-growings 

You  will  be  invited  to  give  renewed  con­
sideration  to proposals  for  the  better  care  and 
control  of  the  feeble-minded,  and for the further 
restriction  of  the 
industrial  employment  of 
Children. 

A  Bill  will  be introduced  for the  prevention: 

of  plural  voting  at Parliamentary  Elections. 

Proposals  will  be  submitted  to  you  for  the 

development  of a national system  of  Education. 

Your  labours upon  these and all  other matters

no  specific  mention  of  legislation  securing  a 
minimum  living  wage,  and for  preventing  a  con­

Opium  Traffic, 

A  Motion  was  made, and  the  Question  being 
proposed, That  this House  again places   on record 
its  conviction 
that  the  Indo-Chinese  opium 
trade  is  morally  indefensible  ;  and,  in  view  of 
the  position  of  the  Chinese  Government,  which, 
while  engaged 
in  suppressing  the  profitable 
production  of  opium  by  its  own  citizens,  is 
obliged  to  admit  opium  from  India,  this  House 
calls  upon  His  Majesty's  Government   to  release 
China  from  her  treaty  obligation   to  admit  the 
Indian  drug,  and  urges  that  she  should  be  set 
free  to prohibit  the  importation  of  the  stocks  of 
opium  now  accumulated  at  the treaty  ports  and 
Hong  Kong—( Mr.   Towyn  Jones) ; 

A n  Amendment  was  proposed  to  be  made  to 
the  Question,  in  1.  1, by  leaving  out  from  the 
word  "  House "  to  the  end of  the  Question,  and 
adding  the  words  "  in  view  of  the  arrangement 
entered  into  between  the  British  and  Chinese 
Governments  for  the  extinction   of  the  opium 
traffic  between  China  and  India,  declines  to 
vary  such  agreement  or to  precipitate  the imme­
diate  cessation  of  such  traffic  without  due 
provision  made  for  safeguarding  the  interests   of 
the  Indian  taxpayer,  and  of  British  and British-
Indian  Merchants who have  entered into engage­
ments  in  the  faith  that  the  British  Government 
will  redeem  its pledges  or  pay  due  compensation 
at  the  expense  of  the  British  taxpayer—(Sir 
John  Rees),—instead  thereof. 

And  the  Question  being  proposed,  That  the 
words  proposed  to  be  left out  stand  part  of  the 
Question  :—The  said  proposed  Amendment  was, 
with  leave  of  the  House,  withdrawn. 

And  the  Main Question being  again proposed  : 
—The  said  Motion  was,  with  leave   of  the 
House,  withdrawn.

King's Speech.  And  afterwards  His  Majesty's  Most  Gracious 

Speech  was  delivered   to  both  Houses   of  Par­
liament  by  the  Lord  High  Chancellor  (pursuant 
to  His  Majesty's  Commands),   as followeth  : 

M y  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

The  recent  visit   of  the  President   of  the 
French  Republic   to   M y  Capital  was  a  source 
of  great  gratification   to  Me,  and  the manifesta­
tions  of  goodwill  to  which  it  gave  rise  afford 
a  fresh  guarantee  for  the  continuance   of  the 
cordial friendship which unites the two  countries. 

The  Special  Mission  sent   to  this  country 
by  the  President   of  the  Argentine  Republic, 
to  convey  to  Me  the  thanks  of  the  Argentine 
people  and  Government  for  the  warm  interest 
manifested  by  My  beloved  Father   in  the  recent 
commemoration   of  the  first  Centenary   of  the 
Argentine  Republic,  cannot  but  strengthen 
the  good  relations  which  have  happily  existed 
so  long. 

The  Conference   of  Delegates   of  the  States 
at  war  in  the  Balkan  Peninsula  resumed 
its 
sittings  in  London  earlier   in  the  year,  and 
agreed  upon  the  terms   of  a  Treaty  of  Peace. 
I  much  regret  that  hostilities  between  different 
nationalities  again  created  a  state   of  war, 
accompanied  by  many  deplorable  incidents. 

I t 

is	  satisfactory  that  the  Conference   of 
belligerents  at  Bucharest  has  led   to  a  cessation 
of  hostilities,  which  I  hope  will   be  permanent. 

It  is  a  cause  of  great  satisfaction  that  the 
Great  Powers  have  kept  constantly   in  touch 
with  each  other,  and   M y  Government  has  done 
interchange 
all  in  its  power   to  facilitate  the 
of  views  and  co-operation   in  action  through 
the  Ambassadors  in  London. 

Gentlemen  of  the  House   of  Commons, 

I  thank you  for  the liberal  Supplies which  you 
the  full 

in  order   to  maintain 

have  granted 

efficiency  of  the  Public  Service   in  its  various 
branches. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

I  view  with  satisfaction  the  passing,   by 
two  Houses,   of  a 

agreement  between 
the 
Scottish  Temperance  Act,  which  will,  I  sin­
cerely  hope,  advance  the  cause   of  Temperance 
in  that  country,  and  thereby  conduce   to  the 
general  welfare  of  the  community. 

I  have  watched  with  sympathy  the  passage 
of  measures  which  have  now  been  placed  upon 
the  Statute  Book  for  making  further  and  better 
provision  for  the  care   of  Feeble-minded  and 
other  mentally  defective  persons. 

The National  Insurance  A ct  has been amended 
and  supplemented  in  some  of 
its  provisions, 
where  experience  showed  that  alterations  were 
desirable. 

I  have  had  pleasure  in  assenting  to  the  Bill 
guaranteeing from the Imperial Exchequer  a Loan 
by  the  Government   of  the  Soudan,  which  will, 
I  confidently  hope, not  only  add  to the  prosperity 
of that territory,  but also  afford increased  sources 
of  supply  to  the  Cotton  industry  of  this  country. 

I  have  sanctioned  the  Appellate  Jurisdiction 
the  Supreme 
Bill,  which  will  ensure 
Tribunal  of 
fully  and 
adequately  constituted, so as to  meet  the  growing 
requirements  of   M y  Indian  Empire  and   of   M y 
Dominions  Overseas. 

the  Empire  will  be 

that 

Important  measures  have  been  passed  dealing 
with  the  Public  Health,  the  employment   of 
Children  abroad,  and  other  domestic  reforms, 
from  which  I  anticipate  beneficial  results. 

It  is my  earnest  prayer  that  the  blessing   of 

Almighty  God  may  rest upon  all  your  labours. 

Then  a  Commission for  proroguing the  Parlia­

ment  was  read. 

After  which  the  Lord  Chancellor  said: 

M y  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

By  virtue  of  His  Majesty's  Commission 
under  the  Great  Seal,   to  us  and  other  Lords 
directed,  and  now  read,  we  do,  in  His  Majesty's 
Name  and  in  obedience  to  His  Commands, pro­
rogue  this Parliament  to Monday  the third day  of 
Novemberone thousand nine hundred and thirteen, 
to  be  then  here  holden ;  and this  Parliament   is 
accordingly  prorogued   to  Monday 
third 
day  of  November  one  thousand  nine  hundred 
and  thirteen.
