SF.A.FORTH, FRIDAY, MARCIT 22,11918
TILE OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.
Time-honored rules in procedure
were observed at the opening of the
first session of the thirteenth Parlia-
ment of Canada by his Excellency the
Duke of Devonshire an Monday, but
there was less of military pageantry
than even at 'the commencement of
the four preceding session since
the beginning of the war and an en-
tire absence of the customary dis-
play of feminine fashions. Though'
the assembling of -the newly elect-
ed representaaives of the people
lacked the showy features ,of pre-
vious. similar occasions, however, it
possessed a peculiar intermit in that
it was the outcome of a new poli-
tical orientation in the Dominion,
and also in that it saw compressed
into one day a programme which in
the most would have occupied the
greater part of three days.
Out of a house of 235 members there
are in the neighborhood of .135 new
recruits and many giros have in short
been left in the ranks/of the old guard,
particularly among the Opposition, and
there are a bewildering \number of
new faces , among the supporters of
Union Goverinnent. . Many of the
new members aresiiiung • men, and
there is a respectable quota ofre-
turned soldiers among. them. None
of them, however, was in khaki, hav-
ing laid aside the military garb to
don the conventional morning, coat
as befitting the opening of.. Parlia-
ment. •
With a view to expediting the bus-
iness of the session the election of a
Speaker for the Com,mons, the delivery
of the Speech from the Throne and the
opening of the debate on ,the ad-
dress in reply to his Excellency's
speech, were all included in Monday's
programme. Hon. Edgar N. Rhodes,
member for, Cuinberland, N.S., who
had had one session's experience as
Speaken, was re-elected to that of-
fice, with the approval of both sides
of the House. When the opening
ceremony to the Senate was 'over
and the Commoners had returned to
their own Chamber, H. M. Mowat,
K. C.,' the new member for 'Parkdale,
moved the address in reply to the
speech from the Throne in a brief
speech. Dr. J. L. Chabot, ,of 'Ot-
tawa, seconded the address. These
proceedings in former years would
have occupied the House for the bet-
ter part of three days.
The Speech from the Throne, read
by the Governor-General at the open-
ing of Parliament was as follows:
_Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate,
Genteel -len of the House of Commons:.
You have been =minified to the first
session of a new Parliament in the
midst of a world-wide struggle which
vitally concerns the liberties, the in-
stitutions, and the destiny of our
'country and of the whole world. Thus
the responsibilities and duties imposed
upon you are even graver and more
far reaching than in the ordinary'
course of public affairs.
Bearing with you a new mandate
from the people, and animated by the
unfaltering spirit whtch has inspired
them during the long and anxious
years of effort and sacrifice, I am con-
fident that you will bring to the dis-
charge of your public duties an -un-
flinching resolve to sustain the high
cause in which our country bas al-
ready borne so splendid a part..
After nearly fou years of war the
issue still remains undecided. The
efforts which yet lie.s before us de-
mands our sternest resolve, but we
shall not shrink from it if our hearts
are as firm and our courage as un-
dais.nted as those of our countrysnen
who hold our battle line beyond the
seas. The Canadian Expeditionary
Force still sustains its unbroken re-
cord of distinguished achievement to
which it as notably contributed since
the close of the last session.
Notwithstanding a greater delay
than was anticipated in 'the operation
of the Military Service Act, the neces-
sary reinforcements to keep our
forces at full strength have been pro-
vided, and this purpose will be inain-
tained in the future.
In order to extend_ the • principle
of the present Civil Service Act to
the outside service and thus to. pro-
vide that all appointments to the
public service shall be niade upon
the sole standard of merit, farther
enabling legislation will be neces-
sary. In the meantime the prin-
ciple' thus adopted has been car-
ried into effect, as far as possible,
by an order-in-Cotmcil, which will
be placed before you.
My advisers are impressed with
the necessity of -a strong. and pro-
gressive policy of immigration and
colonization, acompanied by suit-
able provisions to induce settlement
upon the land, to encourage in-
creased, ngricutural, production and
to aid ;in the development ofagri-
rultural resources. In pursuance of
this purpose, the Ministry of Immi-
gration and Colonization has been
established by order,in-Cotmcil and
necessary legislation to confirm this
action will be laid before you.
In connection with the demobili-
zation of our forces, , my advisers
recognize ' the urgent necessity of
provision for the care and vocational
training of returned soldiers. Or-
ganized effort to provide such train-
ing, to assist them in obtaining em-
ployment and to laid in establishing
them in the activities of civil life is
not only important, but essential;
A department if the Government
for this mirpose bas been consti-
tuted and. has ;been invested with
necessary powers and duties. Legis-
lation to confirm this action will be
submitted to you. '

by order-in-Couneil to preent ex-
cessive profits in certin industries;

Iduation of food, and to encourage

In order to insure the, fullest co-
operation with the Government of
the United States and to assist in
securing the most effictine utiliza-
tion of the resources' of both coun-
trieS for war purposes, a Canadian
war mission has been. established at
Washington and- a war trade board
has been constituted.at Ottawa.
In view of -the need or .conserving
to the fullest extent all national -re-
sourcea during the war and in fur-
thera:nee of provisional. • enactments,
action has been taken under the
War Measures Acti 1914, to prohibit
the importation and nianufact'ure of
intoxicating beverages and' to forbid
.the transportation thereof :into any

My advisers -having' reached the
eonclusion that a complete registra-
tion of the manhood and Woman-
hood . of Canada above the age of
sixteen years is not only Important
but essential under the presents condi-
tioni, the necessary authority has
been provided under the War Meas-
ures Act, 1914.
The order -in -Council embodying
the foregoing provisions will be laid
before you.
The appalling disaster at Halifax,
resulting in the loss of many hun-
dred lives, 'and the destruction of a
considerable portion of the city, and
of. the adjacent town of Dartmouth;
has evoked universal sympathy for.
those who have suffered. My ad-
visers will submit to you propoeals
for relieving the distress and loss
thus occasioned.
Notwithstanding the critical and
trying conditions through which the
country has passed -during. the last
three years, the commercial, indus-
trial and financial' stability of Can:
ada has been well maintained. The
volume of foreign trade greatly ex-
ceeds that attained during any cor-
responding period in previous years,
and the favorable balance of , trade
has also vastly increased., -
Gentlemen of the House of Com-
mons:
The abcounts for the last and the
estimates for the next fiscal year
will be submitted to you without de-
lay ,and you will be asked to mak4
the. necessary financial provision for
the effective conduct of the war.
Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate:
Gentlemen of the House of Ceara-,

Notwithstanding disappointments
in the eastern theatre of war, there
is no reason to doubt the ultimate
triumph of our cause. The effort of
the nations included within the
British Commonwealth is still un-
abated, and will so continue to the
end.
Tk1OTIS
Equally earnest and resolute is
the spirit of all, the allied nations,
and especially of the great neigh-
boring and kindred commonwealth,
whose enormous power- and vast
resources are now beginning. to
make themselves felt in the deter-
mination of the issue.
