PAGETWO PARLIAMENT OF CANADA OPENS ON WEDNESDAY For First Time Since 1911, A Liberal Prime Minister . Will Be In Power W. L. MACKENZIE KING Ottawa, March 9.—(By The Asso- ciated Press)—For the first time since 1911, a Liberal prime minister holds the reins of government when the 14th Parliament of Canada was opehed by the GovernorGeneral Byng yesterday. W. L. Mackenzie King, the new premier, is the first of his party to hold'that office since Sir Wilfrid Laurier was defeated more than ten years ago on his policy of reciprocity with the United States. While lacking much of the pomp and circumstance that mark similar events in Great Britain, the conven- ing of the Canadian Parliament is ac- companied by observance of many traditions. A few relics of medieval pagentry, borrowed from the “mother of parliaments” at Westminster, have been retained and probably will con- tinue. The Governor-General, in full dress military uniform, drives to the House of Parliament in the state carriage, attended by a guard of honor, mount- ed and afoot. He enters the Senate, chamber and occupies the Speaker’s chair, & it ~ Tar Then a¥ functionary known as the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, clad jin silk knee breeches, silken hose, buckled shoes, tailed coat adorn- ed with rosettes and a cocked hat, proceeds to the Commons chamber, where the members of Parliament are waiting patiedtly and gives taree re- sounding raps on the door. Investigates Rapping The sergeant-at-arms of the Com- mons, who is also attired after the fashion of Cromwell's day, goes to the door and investigates the rapping. He returns to announce to the Speaker of the Commons the arrival of the messenger from the Senate, The Speaker orders that the messenger be admitted. In comeg the Gentleman Usher who, after making three low bows to the Speaker, announces that the Governor-General demands ‘the presence ~f the Commons in the Sen- ate chamber. Three more bows and the Gentleman Usher takes his leave. After him comes the sergeant-at- arms with the great mace of the Com- mong at the sl6e on Ii houlder. Be hind the sergeantyt-arms marches the Speaker of the Commons, in gown and cocked hat. Behind troop the members of Parliament. As many as can squeeze themselves jnto the Sen- ate chamber do so and the Governor General reads the speech from the throne. Then Parliament is open for business, i The first task is election of a speaker, who always is a member of the dominant party. ee this office Premier King has se- “Fetted Rodolphe Lemieux, of Mon- treal, a parliamentarian of 26’ years experience. He served as postmaster- general in the Laurier government prior to 1911, Election of the speaker by the mem- bers is the merest formality after he has been chosen by the Premier. The government commands about one-half of the members of Parlia- ment. The official opposition groyp, numbering about 50 in a House of 235 members, is led by Arthur Meighen, the defeated premier, who is paid a salary as opposition chief. 60 Progressives An unofficial progressive group of 60 odd members, is commanded by T. A. Crerar, This group is expected to suppert the government on most of its policies, but mainly on the tariff, liberals and progressives uniting in their belief in custom duties “for-reve- nue only,” as against the conservative program of protection, Premier King, himself a veteran of .
