OF the nation await your consideration.
and it is Of the utmost Importance that
their provisions should be examined

good will which all sections of my
people feel toward the great republic
OF the West and an earnest Of the In
creasing understanding with which I
trust they will act together in the fu.
ture."
His speech, in part, follows:
my Lords and Gentlemen: The
aspirations for better social order
which have been Quickened in the
hearts Of my people by the experience
Of the war must be encouraged by
prompt and comprehensive action. Be
fore the war poverty, unemployment,
inadequate housing and many remedi-
al Ills existed in our land, and these
Ills were aggravated by disunIon. But
since the outbreak of the war every
party and every class have worked for
and fought together for q gr@ at ideal.
In pursuit Of this common aim they
have shown spirit Of unity and self
sacrifice which exalted the nation and
has enable it to play It's full part In
the winning Of victory.
Stamp Out Poverty. King Urges.
1.-THE ravages of war and the vast
ages OF war have not yet, however.

the same spirit. We must stop at no
sacrifice Of interest or prejudice to
stamp out unmerited poverty. to dl-
minish unemployment and mitigate It's
suffering, to provide decent homes. to
improve the nations health and to
raise the standard Of well-being
throughout the community.
eve shall not achieve this end by
undue tenderness toward acknowl-
edged abuses, and It must necessarily
be retarded by violence or even by
disturbance. We shall succeed only by
patient and untiring- resolution and adj
action which are required.
It Is that resolute action which now
ask you to support.
