Mr.  Speaker  reported,  That  the  House  had, Mr.  Speaker 

this  day,  attended  His  Majesty  in  the  House  of
  ^  ^ 
Peers,  when  His  Majesty  was  pleased  to  make Speeph, 
a  most  Gracious Speech from the Throne to  both 
Houses  of  Parliament;  of  which  Mr.  Speaker 
said  he  had,  for  greater  accuracy,  obtained  a 
Copy;  which  he read  to the House,  as followeth: 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

My  relations with  Foreign  Powers  continue to 

be  friendly. 

It  is a cause  of  much  pleasure  to  Me  that  I 
shall  be  able,  in  the  near  future, to  visit, with 
the Queen, the President of  the French  Republic, 
and  that  I  shall  thus  be afforded  an  opportunity 
of  testifying  to  the  cordial  relations  which  exist 
between  Our  two  countries. 

My  Government has been  in  consultation with 
the  other  Powers  respecting  the  settlement  of 
Albania  and  of  the  -ZEgean  Islands,  with  the 
view  of  giving  effect  to  resolutions  adopted  by 
the  Powers  during  the  Conference  held  with 
Ambassadors  in London  last year. 
I  hope  that 
these  consultations  will  contribute  to  the  main­
tenance  of peace  in  South  Eastern  Europe. 





No.  l.]   4  GEO.   Y .

Measures  have  been  adopted  by  the  Inter­
national  Commission  of  Control  in  Albania  for 
the purpose  of  establishing  order  and  security, 
and, on  the arrival of  the  new Ruler,  I  trust  that 
progress  will  be made  towards the  institution  of 
an  efficient  and  stable  administration  in  that 
country. 

I  am happy  to  say  that My  negotiations,  both 
with the  German  Government  and  the  Ottoman 
Government,  as  regards  matters  of  importance 
to the  commercial  and industrial  interests of  this 
country in  Mesopotamia, are rapidly approaching 
a  satisfactory  issue, while  questions  which  have 
long  been  pending  with  the Turkish  Empire  in 
respect to  regions  bordering on the  Persian  Gulf 
are  in  a  fair  way  towards  an  amicable  settle­
ment. 

It  gives  Me  great  gratification  that  the 
International  Conference  on  Safety  of  Life  at 
Sea,  which  recently  met 
in  London  at  the 
invitation  of  My  Government,  has  resulted  in 
the  signature of  an important  Convention,  which 
will,  I  trust, do  much  for  the  protection  of  life, 
especially  on  ocean-going  passenger  steamships. 
A  Bill  to  enable  Me  to  fulfil the  obligations  of 
the  Convention  will  be laid  before  you. 

I  regret  that  in  My  Indian  Dominions  the 
early  cessation  of  the  seasonal fains  last  autumn 
has impaired  the  prospects  of  agriculture  over 
considerable  tracts.  The  area visited  by  severe 
drought is, fortunately, restricted, and in it timely 
measures have been taken  by  My  officers for  the 
relief of  the  distressed  population. 

Gentlemen  of the  House  of  Commons, 

The  Estimates  for  the  service  of  the  coming 

year  will  be laid  before  you  in  due  course. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

The  measures  in  regard  to  which  there  were 
differences last  Session  between  the  two  Houses 
will  be  again  submitted  to  your  consideration. 
I  regret  that  the  efforts which  have  been  made 
to  arrive  at  a  solution  by  agreement  of  the 
problems  connected  with  the  Government  of 
Ireland  have, so far, not  succeeded. 
In  a matter 
in which  the  hopes  and  the  fears of  so many  of 
My  subjects  are  keenly  concerned,  and  which, 
unless  handled  now  with  foresight,  judgment, 
and in  the spirit of  mutual  concession,  threatens 
grave  future  difficulties, it  is  My  most  earnest 
wish  that  the  goodwill  and co-operation  of  men 
of all parties and creeds may  heal dissension  and 
lay  the foundations of  a lasting  settlement. 

Proposals  will  be  laid  before  you  for  recon­

stituting  the  Second  Chamber. 

The  Royal  Commission  which  was  appointed 
to  inquire  into  the  delay  in the  administration 
of Justice  in the King's  Bench  Division  has now 
made its  Report.  Propositions  will  be  made  to 
you  to  carry  into  effect  certain  of  the  recom­
mendations  which  require  the  concurrence  of 
Parliament.  The  consideration  of  other  recom­
mendations, which  can  be  effected  by  adminis­
trative  action,  is already  well  advanced. 

A  Bill which has been prepared  in  consultation 
with  the  Governments  of  the  Self-governing 
Dominions,  relating  to  British  Nationality  and 
providing  for  Imperial  Naturalisation,  will  be 
laid before  you. 

A  Bill  will  be  introduced  to  authorise  the 
making  of  Loans  to  the  Governments  of  the; 
East  African  Protectorates,  to  enable  them  to 
carry out certain public works which are urgently; 
required  for  the  better  development  of  their 
territories. 

Measures  will  be  presented  dealing  with  the 
industrial  and  agricultural

population;  to  give  effect  to  the  proposals, 
which  were  announced  last  Session,  for  the 
development  of a  National system of  Education; 
to  amend  the  Law  with  respect  to the  treatment 
and punishment  of  young  offenders, and  other­
wise improve  the  administration  of Justice  ; and, 
if time and opportunity  permit, for other purposes 
of  social  reform. 

Your  labours upon  these  and all  other  matters 
I  humbly  commend  to  the blessing  of  Almighty 
God. 

A  Motion  was  made, and  the  Question  being  King's  Speech 
proposed,  That  an humble  Address  be  presented  (Motion for an 
to  His  Majesty,  as followeth  : 

Address.) 

Most  Gracious  Sovereign, 

We,  Your  Majesty's  most  dutiful  and  loyal 
subjects, the  Commons  of  the  United  Kingdom 
of  Great  Britain  and  Ireland,  in  Parliament 
assembled,  beg  leave to  offer our  humble  thanks 
to  Your  Majesty  for  the  Gracious Speech  which 
Your  Majesty  has  addressed  to  both  Houses  of 
Parliament—(Mr.  Walter  Roch); 

An  Amendment  was  proposed  to  be  made to  Government of 

the  Question,  by  adding  at the  end  thereof  the  Ireland  Bill, 
words  '' But  humbly  represent  that  it  would  be 
disastrous  to  proceed  further  with  the  Govern­
ment  of  Ireland  Bill  until  it  has been  submitted 
to  the  judgment  of  the  people."—(Mr.  Walter 
Long.) 

And  the  Question  being  proposed,  That  those 
words  be  there  added :—And  a Debate  arising 
thereupon; 

And  a  Motion  being  made,  and  the  Question 
being  put,  That  the Debate  be now  adjourned— 
(Mr.  Attorney  General):—It  was  resolved   in 
the Affirmative. 

Ordered,  That  the  Debate  be  resumed  to­

morrow. 

Resolved, That  this  House  do  now  adjourn.— Adjournment. 

(Mr. Illingworth.) 

And  accordingly  the  House,  having  con­

tinued  to  sit till six minutes  before Eleven 

of  the  clock,  adjourned  till  to-morrow.

foreshadowed to  restore the  credit  and security 
of  land  and  house  property,  which  has  been 
undermined  by the Finance (1909-10) Act, 1910, 
and  by  recent  public  utterances  of  Ministers 
suggesting  further land  legislation  based  on the 
report  of  a secret and  partisan  committee, thus 
causing the  withdrawal  of  capital, a  shortage in 
the supply of houses and cottages for the working 
classes,  serious  loss  to  the  building  and  allied 
trades,  an  arrest  of  agricultural  development, 
and  a  check  to  the  natural  rise  in  labourers' 
wages."—(Mr.  Royds.)

with  reference  to  the  Instruction  of  the  House

inquired  whether  the collecting,  taking,  and  user 
of  water  from  the Bully  Hill  Farm  Spring  and 
the  Little  Ash  Holt  Spring  will   or  may  preju­
dicially  affect  the River  Rase  and  the  existing 
public  or private sources of  supply in the district, 
and  found  that, after  limiting  the  quantity  of 
water  which  the  Company  could  collect,  take, 
and use, the  effect upon the  said river  would  be 
hardly appreciable, and, in addition, Clauses were 
inserted  in  the  Bill  putting  the  Company  under 
obligation  to  make  good  any  diminution  in  any 
existing  public  or private  sources of  supply,  or 
make compensation  in lieu  thereof.

(Mr.  Aneurin  Williams) ; 

An  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  "  the  policy  of  land  purchase 
is  mistaken |  that  what  is  wanted  is  the  use 
rather  than  the  ownership  of  the  land;  that 
secure  tenure  on  fair  terms  is  better  than  pro­
prietorship ;  and  that  the first step  to  reform is 
to  rate and  tax  those  who hold the land according 
to the  value  of the land which they hold, whether 
they use it  or  not,  so  as to  increase  the  available 
supply  of  land  and  reduce  land  prices  and  rents 
to  their  natural  level,  while  at  the  same  time 
unrating  improvements,  so  as to  give  free  course 
to  production "—(Mr.  Dundas  White),— instead

The  Order of  the day  being  read, for resuming 
the  adjourned  Debate  on  the  Question  proposed 
upon  the  28th  day  of  this  instant  April,  That, 
in  view  of  the  serious  nature  of  the  naval and 
military  movements  recently  contemplated  by 
the  Government  against  Ulster,  of  the  incom­
pleteness  and  inaccuracy  in  material  points  of

inquiry  into  all  the circumstances—(Mr.  Austen

A  Motion  was  made, and the  Question  being 
proposed,  That, in  the  opinion  of  this  House, a 
large  extension  of  the  public  ownership  of  land 
is  urgently  called  for. and  that  the  powers  of 
land  acquisition  which  are  at  present  possessed 
by  the  State  and  by 
local  authorities  are 
inadequate  and  ought to  be increased;  that such 
authorities  should  have  a  general  power  to 
acquire  (either  by  agreement  or by  compulsion) 
and to  hold  any  land  which  they  may  consider 
necessary  ;  and power to use such land for affores­
tation, reclamation, allotments and small holdings, 
housing,  town-planning,  open  spaces, public  im­
provements,  or  such other  purposes  as they  may 
from time to time be authorised to  carry  out;  that 
such  powers  should  extend  to  the  acquisition  of 
land for  prospective,  and not merely  for  present, 
needs;  and  that,  in  ascertaining  tbe  purchase

Ordered,  That  the  said  Paper  be  printed. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen, 

Royal Assent. 

A  Message  was  delivered  by  Admiral  Sir 
Henry Frederick  Stephenson,  Gentleman  Usher 
of  the  Black  R o d: 

Mr.  Deputy  Speaker, 

The  Lords  authorised   by  virtue  of  His 
Majesty's  Commissions  to  declare  His  Royal 
Assent to  Acts  which  are  agreed  upon   by  both 
Houses,  and  under  the  Parliament  Act,  1911, 
and  to  prorogue  Parliament,  desire  the  imme­
diate attendance of  this Honourable  House in  the 
House  of  Peers,  to  hear  the  Commissions  read. 

Accordingly  Mr.  Deputy  Speaker,  with  the 
House, went  up  to  the  House  of  Peers,  where  a 
Commission  under  the  Great  Seal  was  read, 
giving,  declaring,  and  notifying  the  Royal 
Assent  to  the  several  Acts  therein  mentioned, 
agreed  upon  by  both  Houses;  and  the  Lords 
thereby  authorised  declared  the  Royal  Assent 
to  the  said  Acts,  as follow  : 

I  address  you  in  circumstances  that  call  for 

action  rather  than  for  speech. 

After  every  endeavour had  been  made  by  My 
Government  to  preserve  the  peace  of  the  world, 
I  was  compelled,  in  the  assertion  of  treaty 
obligations  deliberately  set  at  nought,  and  for 
the protection  of  the  public  law  of  Europe  and 
the  vital  interests  of  My  Empire,  to  go  to  war. 

My  Navy  and  Army  have,  with  unceasing 
vigilance,  courage,  and  skill,  sustained, 
in 
association  with  gallant  and faithful  allies,  a just 
and  righteous  cause. 

From  every  part   of  My  Empire  there  has 
been  a  spontaneous  and  enthusiastic  rally  to  our 
common  flag. 

Gentlemen  of  the House  of  Commons, 

I  thank  you  for  the  liberality  with  which  you 

have  met  a great  emergency. 

My  Lords,  and  Gentlemen,

Service)  Act,  1914.

(Navy  and  Army) 

Act,  1914. 

3.	  Prize  Courts

We  are  fighting  for  a worthy  purpose,  and  we 
shall  not  lay  down  our  arms  until  that  purpose 
has been  fully  achieved. 

I  rely  with  confidence  upon  the  loyal  and 
united  efforts of  all My subjects,* and  I  pray  that 
Almighty  God  may  give   us  His  blessing. 

4.  Bills  of  Exchange  Act,  1914.

After  which  the  Lord  Chancellor  said : 

My  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  Tuesday  the  twenty-
seventh day of October one thousand nine hundred 
and  fourteen,  to  be  then  here  holden;  and  this

UNEMPLOYMENT ;  Resolution,  That  this  House,  while 
welcoming  the  decision  of  the  Government  to  extend 
the provisions  of Part  II.  of  the National  Insurance  Act 
to other trades than those now insured against unemploy­
ment, and  trusting  that this may be done without delay, 
recognises  that  other  measures  must  be  taken  to  deal 
with  recurring  periods  of  trade  depression,  as  well as 
with  chronic  under-employment,  and  with  the  case  of 
those  unemployed  who  are temporarily  or  permanently 
Unfit  for  ordinary  remunerative  work,  and  accordingly 
urges  that,  while  trade  is  still  good,  further  provision 
should  be made for the planning  of  public  work, whether 
municipal  or national,  so as  to regularise the  demand for 
labour,  as well  as for  the  organisation, maintenance, and 
aid  of  graded  training institutions  and  other  agencies,

workmen  in certain other trades,  in order that the scheme 
of  unemployment insurance might more  adequately  cope
