KING'S SPEECH

Historic Character Of U.S. Visit

LIBERAL ACCUSATION

London, November 9.

Reference to the historic character of the visit to the United States next year of the King and Queen was made by the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, speaking in the House of Commons debate on the King's Speech yesterday.

"The visit of the King and Queen to Canada next summer will be a truly historical occasion, because never before has any Dominion been privileged to welcome on its own soll the reigning Sovereign in person," said the Fremier. "The visit will afford a notable illustra- tion of the special part Their Majesties take in the life of the British Commonwealth.

"The decision of Their Majesties' modities had been arrested and to take the opportunity provided that, with the general easing of by their presence in Canada to political conditions, they would see pay a short visit to the United the recession they had had to face States is also of outstanding. im- this year pass away and be suc- portance. It is the first time ceeded by an upward trend. King and Queen of England have set foot on the land of great de- mocracy which, for the past 150 years, has played so increasingly important a role in the history of the world and has contributed so much, in politics and economics, in commercial enterprise and in cul- ture, to the progress of the human. race.

"Therr Majesiles, who a few "months ago succeeded in win- ning for themselves a perman- ent place in the affections of the French people, will know when they cross the frontier that they carry with them a warm message of goodwill from the people of these islands to the Great Republië in the New World, said Mr. Chamberlain.

NO CONSTRUCTIVE PLAN

The Opposition Leader Mr. R. Attlee, criticised the Kinr's Speech as giving no' in- dication of a really construc- tive programme and expressed regret in particular at the ab- sence of any reference to the trade agreement with the United States. He also thought it characteristic of the compla- cency of the Government that there was no mention, of an- employment. The Opposition, he said, felt the foundation of national strength was the con- dition of the people and a sound policy of 'nutrition was the basis of that condition.
