achievement 'of further naval disarmament is held out by Mr. Gibson's speech at Geneva, "of which my Government has not been slow to exprese appreciation."

Simon Commission

Great Britain in 1922 funded her debt to the United States on terms which provided for full repayment in 62 years, with back interest from June, 1919, capitalised at 44 per cent. and interest from the date of funding at 3 per cent., for ten years and 3 per cent. there after.

The speech says that unemploy ment continues to cause anxiety, but a substantial improvement has occurred and now there are good grounds for the belief that we are! moving towards a higher level of employment all over the country. The derating scheme and reorgan- isation of local government promise widespread benefits, particularly to basic trades.

Nanking Recognised

In the reference to China, His Majesty said he hoped events in China would continue to improve gradually, and progress towards more stable conditions.

He was glad it was possible that full recognition could be accorded to the National Government at Nanking, and a treaty could be concluded recognising the principle of complete tariff autonomy.

Privy Council

H.M. the King resumed official business to-day in connection with the dissolution of Parliament, and held a Privy Council at Craigweil House, which was in telephonic communication with Parliament.

The Lord Chancellor read the Speech from the Throne at West- minster, after which the Privy Council signed the proclamation of dissolution, at Bogner.

State of the Parties

The state of the parties at the time of the Dissolution is as fol- lows:

Conservatives, 398. Labour, 168.

Liberals, 45.

Independent Tiberal, one. Irish Nationalist, one.
