OPENS PARLIAMENT WITH MACDONALD NOTE (Continued From First Page) ind commoners, revealed all the ime-honored pageantry of the oc- asion. His majesty read his ad- dress in firm, steady tones, indicat- ng full restoration of his health. Previously he had ridden bare- readed in a long grey great coat, aith Queen Mary by his side, in the ‘oyal gilded coach through London rom Buckingham to Westminster. Queen Mary wore a long coat of »hite material. Thousands lining the streets cheered the two royal figures, Queen Mary responding to the ap- lause with occasional bows and a onstant smile. After the half-hou ‘eremony in the house of lords they centered the royal carriage and re- urned to Buckingham. Ambassador Dawes represented he United States at the cere:.ony. Cheer Monarch As the stately royal cavalcade ap- sroached Westminster between lines >t grenadier guards in overcoats and bearskins the crowds in the streets and on the roofs of buildings were even denser and their cheers 1cartier than at the first part of the narch. The sun shone brilliantly on the colden coach as it reached Victoria lower, entrance to the house of ords. Their majesties left their ‘oach there and entered the building o don the regal robes and crowns iefore going to the chamber and taking their place on the throne. In the chamber there was a strik- ing array of shimmering, trailing gowns of the peeresses ranged on cither side of the chamber, while the inedals and swords of the gentle- ien-at-arms flashed and gold-braid- >d tunics glistened from the center. The crowd also caught a glimpse of the Prince of Wales, .and ap- plauded him heartily as he drove from St. James's to the House of lords in the State landau arriving shortly before his royal parents. Reads Message King George, convening parlia- ment, read the following message, frawn up for him by his govern- ment, headed by Prime Minister MacDonald. “My lords and members of the IHouse of Commons: It has given me much pleasure to receive my minis- ters from the Dominions and repre- sentatives of India who are attending the imperial conference. 1 watch with deep interest the progress of their labors, the satisfactory result of which I shall confidently await. “I hope soon to welcome repre- sentatives of the princes and people of India who are about to join with members of all partics in both houses of parliament to consider the future constitutional ~position of India. “My intention is to inaugurate this conference, and I earnestly trust that at the conclusion of its proceed- ings may be found agreed and wis solutions of those important qu tions upon which it will be called to | deliberate.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 28 193C. “I was very glad to entrust my son, the Duke of Gloucester with the duty of representing me at the coro- nation of the emperor of Ethiopia. “My government took an activ part in proceedings of the assembly | of the League of Nations in Septem- |ber last. General agreement was reached upon the treaty of financial tance to states which may be tims of aggression which recently was signed at Geneva. Application of this treaty is conditional upon the coming into force of a general dis- armament convention which I trust will shertly be concluded. “I follow with grave concern and sympathy continuance of heavy un- employment among so many of my people. Economic depression un- fortunately continues to domipate the markets of the world and'the accompanying restriction of interna- tional trade is felt with particular severity in those industries which are especially dependent on export. Seeks Commerce “My government will persist in its efforts to develop and extend | home, imperial and foreign trade and to help in measures which will lead to greater efficiency in indus- try. “Proposals will be laid before you for promotion of increased settle- ment and employment on the land, and of large scale farming opera- tions, and for acquisition and im- provement of agricultural land, land in need of reconditioning, and for organization of producers for mar- keting purposes. “I purpose immediately to set up 2 commission to inquire into the en- tire question of unemployment in- surance and in particular to allega- | tions of abuse of its provisions. The commission will be asked to present | interim reports on the most pressing questions and, 1> .>quired, legislation based upon them will be introduced.

Sanley Baldwin, conservative lead- er, was put under fire again last| night by his own party enemy, Lord | Beaverbrook, who stands for full| protection with food tariffs, regard- | less, of the result of the imperial | onference, Beaverbrook declared. “We have nothing to hope for from Mr. Baldwin. He only says he wants a free hand to impose tariffs if necessary. He means that after a general election is held, if he is re- turned to power, he then will begin to think of what he will do, and | then he will call another conference at Ottawa, wasting more time there | by offering a wheat quota. We can’t wait two years more for Mr. Bald- win to make up his mind Recent Plan Opposed Mr. Baldwin's recent declaration | in favor of even a food tariff if the dominions find it necessary at the imperial conference has failed ‘o stiffie opposition from even protec- tion strongholds. His leadership also is being questioned on other counts, and to give this opposition a voice he has invited all candidates who were defeated in the last general | and bye-elections to attend a party conference Thursday along with con- servative members of the lords and | commons. Winston Churchill. chancellor of the exchequer in the last conserva- tive cabinet. in an addres last night | declared himself against taxing | taple food as Mr. Baldwin says he | is prepared to do if such a plan is framed at the imperial conference. Mr. Churchill indicated that he fa-| vored tariffs on all foreign manu- | factured goods, claiming that such | duties have become necessary as a | i‘r(‘\'(‘n\l(‘ measure. |Scenario Writer W )“ Wed Builder’s Official Hollywood, Cal, Oct. 2§ (P) — | Bradley ~ King, motion | | scenarist, and George H.
