BY CRESTON B. MULLINS. When President Hoover informed the | Seventy-second Congress of the “state |of the Union” by sending his annual | message he followed a custom that has | history more brilliant and living than | many of the other features of state | practice, for into it have been infused the personalities of British monarchs who developed it. From_Presiden: Hoover in 1931 to Henry III of England in 1242 is a step of nearly seven centuries, but it was in Henry's urgent need for funds to prosecute his war with France that the precedent for direct communication be- tween monarch and assembly was set. the relationships between the Saxon kings and their councils. Henry's de- mands were pressed before that first Parliament by Earl Richard, Arch- bishop Walter Grey and the provost of Beverly. Two years later Henry him- self appeared in Parliament Model Parliament Called. The thirteenth century changes in British constitutional development cul minated in_the model Parliament of 1295 called by Edward I. This was the first Parliament to be composed of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and the Commons. Up to 1297 the address of the King was merely a_royal speech, but in that year Edward I delivered the first “speech from the throne.” - For Ihis plea for new confidence of the people he ordered to be erected a wooden stage, from which was delivered | throne” in history As Parliament developed thie speech came to be delivered more and more by the lord chanceilor, but departed from this practice by declaring_his own wishes in Parlia- ment, utilizing his personal influence to obtain supplies. His death marked the return to the former practice, Queen Elizabeth infused a new per- sonal element into the ceremony by in- augurating the royal procession to the House of Lords to open Parliament. The pageantry of the speech dates from her reign Both ¢he and James I loved to lec- ture Parliament in their speeches, and did so for hours. His Majesty even de- scended to crack an occasional joke. In the commonwealth the royal speech, as such, disappeared, although Crom- well followed the practice often. Charles II submitted brief written communica- | tions, Ministerial Declaration, The Revolution of 1688 changed | British practice in every feature, and | the effect of the revolution is exempli- fied in the change which the institu- tion of the Speech underwent. From a personal expression of royal wishes, it became & ministerial declaration of policy, and in the eighteenth century arose the practice of cabinet conference on the terms of the document. George 111, heeding his mother's ad- monition to “Be a King,” removed the preparation of the speech from the hands of his ministers and delegated Ex-Chancellor Hardwicke to draw it up, writing one paragraph himself. This instrument was forced to be accepted | by his ministers. reign of George III marked the separation of the Thirteen Colonies from British rule. It was at this point that the tradition of the King's speech to Parliament at its opening was trans- planted to the American continent and found its first expression in the consti- tufion of 1777 of the State of New York. This provision distinguished it from the constitutions of the othér 12, for it accorded to the | executive powers which were every- | where else denied in Legislature-con- trolled States. This idea of a strong executive in New York was expounded | ris, Conservatives, who may have felt the need of a strong executive, just &s the Bicentennial | the Tories, their British counterparts, | | presided, and addresses were delivered | Geleration and is in the mature of a | felt the need of a strong Kingship, | by Bishop Willlam Fraser McDowell, for the board: Dr. Lucius C.
