LIBERALTOR CRITICISM OF SPEECH FROM THE THRONE

London, To-day.

The Liberal Parliamentary Party have tabled an amendment to the Address regretting that the Graci- ous Speech contains no indication. that the government are taking ade- quate steps to provide against a possible diminution of employment occurring either on the completion of

postponed of definite plans for employing peo ple on the construction of capital works of national importance and the utilisation of national resources at present neglected.

DERATE ARRANGEMENT The debate on the Address was opened by Mr. Arthur Greenwood, Mr. for the Labour opposition. Lloyd George is expected to speak to-day when Mr. Noel Baker opens for Labour, and Lord Cranborne and Mr. Walter Elliot will reply for the Government.

Sir Samuel Hoare will speak on Friday and on Monday after Mr. Hugh Dalton, Mr. Anthony - Eden and Major Attlee have spoken, the debate will be wound up by the Prime Minister or, if he is still pre- vented from attending by his attack of gout, by Sir John Simon.

This is apparently due to reor ganisation of the Ministry having not yet been completed.

Rumours of Dr. Schacht's resign- ation, given much prominence in the foreign press, are now the sub-i Ject of lively discussion in German political circles.

It had been known for some time past that his combined duties at the Reichsbank and the Ministry of Economics were placing a constant- ly increasing burden on him.

THREE IN DISCUSSION It is pointed out in political quar- ters, however, that noTM Cabinet Council has yet been held, and that it is unlikely that the question would be discussed, much less de- cided, in a conference of Ministers.
