PARLIAMENT HEARS
ADDRESS OF RULER
KING EDWARDS SPEECH NOT
DISCOURAGING
British Monarch Makes Little Refer
ence to Budget Fight-SoIons
Open Their Campaign
in London

LONDON, Dec. 3.-The kings speech
prodoguing parliament was read today
The proceedings were brief and tht
attendance small. In fact the private
members of the chambers were almost
outuumbered by the ministers.
Both houses met at o'clock, when
the black rod proceeded Immediately
to the lower house to request the at
tendance of the commoners to the up
per chamber to hear the royal speech.
The speech was read by Lord High
Chancellor Lorebun, who was sup
ported by Viscount Althorp, lord
chamberlain; Lord Mcdonnell, Lord
Pentland, secretary for Scotland, and
Lord Haversham.
AS soon Is the speech had been read
the kings consent to the bills passed
during the session was announced, and
the members dispersed.
The only reference to the political
crisis in the speech Of prorogaton was
contained in the clause, addressed the
house of commons, in which the king
thanked the members for the adoption
of the provision for the national eX-
penditures. This concluded:
King Regrets It
81 regret that the proposition has
proved unaVailing.'
on foreign relations the speech said:
Difficulties which unfortunately
arose in southeastern Europe in the
autumn a year ago have resulted hap
PLY in a practical solution for the
maintenance of peace, while the con-
stitutonal regime in Turkey continues
to make satisfactory progress"
Freed of legislative duties, members
of the house of commons and many
peers began their own political cam
Dagns in their constituencies today.
Comparatively few remained in Lon
don for the formalities connected with
the ceremony of proroguing parliament.
David f. Lloyd-George, chancellor
of the eXchequer, whose budget was
the initial cause of the crisis, was
given the opportunity of firing the first
shot I'm the struggle, as the guest at
luncheon at the National Liberal club.
The function was one of the most elab-
crate of the kind ever held in this
city and being timed with the proro-
cation of parliament, afforded an oc-
casion of which the chancellor took ad-
vantage to deliver a speech which will
be the cue of the radicals throughout
the country.
Winston Spencer Churchill started
the campaign in Lancashire, while on
the other side Lord Lansdowne, leader
Of the opposition in the lords, and j.
Austen Chamberlain, who was chan
cellor of the eXchequer in the Balfour
have gone to Plymouth to
speak the first words for the unionists.

Erred IMPORTANT MOVE
NEW DOMINATION HELD TO BE
DESIRABLE
President Paul Morton Issues. State
ment Dealing with the Status
of the Assurance
Society
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Purchase of
majority of stock of the Equitable
Life Assurance society by J. Pierpont
Morgan-a move of vast import TO the
financial world because of the Virtual
passage of control of nearly half II
billion dollars Of assets, and the domi-
nation of two trust companies-is be-
Ieved in Wall Street today to fore
shadow a more important move-the
naturalization of the Equitable.
The naturalization phase of the
Equitable purchase by Mr.. Morgan
from Thomas Il. Ryan was generally
discussed today but no definite infor-
nation was obtained. Former Justice
Morgan j. OBrion, one of the Eqult-
able trustees, declared that the pres
ent system whereby the stockholders
and policy holders joined in the cleo
ton Of directors was not desirable, as
the responsibility of control could not
now be fixed either on the stockholders
or the policy holders.
Statement from o'5rien
II am sure that naturalization OF
the company would be TO its interest,""
said Mr. O'Brien.

the subject of complete naturalization
of the Equitable has been under con-
sideration for some months.
Suggestion of definite character was
made in banking quarters today that
the taking over of the Equitable by
Mr.. Morgan would ultimately mean
the combination of the Equitable Trust
company and the Mercantile Trust
company. now controlled by the Equi-
table society. and one or Dprhaps two
trust companies controlled by Mr.
Morgan.

table Life Assurance society, issued
the following statement this afternoon:
As stated by Mr.. Morgan, he has
bought Mr.. Ryan's stocks, thereby Sc
curing a majority of the shares Of the
Equitable Life Assurance society. |
While Mr.. Ryan held these shares his
attitude toward the society was I'm
every way commendable, as he did not
seek 10 interfere with the management |
in the slightest degree. I
As nearly as it could be done he |
gave to the society naturalization under
which arrangement the policy holders
now elect n majority of the directors,
their representation on the board being
twenty-eight out of a total of fifty-two
Under Mr.. Morgans ownership of
the majority stock its affairs will be /
conducted as heretofore, by the board

interests of its policy holders"
Mr.. Morton said the question of com
plete naturalization of the society
would be taken up with the state su-
