at Home.
 London. Feb. 10-Serious consid- efation of economic conditions thru nut the country was urged upon the House of Commons today by King George in his speech from the throne, (which opened the session of parlia- nent. He counseled patience in the passage of far reaching reforms, which, he said, were necessary to meet Abnormal conditions.
 He urged better educational facili- ties, settlement of the Irish question, Adjustment of coal mining contro- versies on an enduring basis, regula- tom of the liquor traffic and measures Stimulating the growth of aore food Stnffs at home. He said bills would be introduced in parliament dealing ysith insurance against unemployment, regulation of working hours, mini mum wages and anti-dumping.
 After adjournment following the formal opening of the parliament both houses re-assembled at 1 o'clock for the debate on the kings speech.
 Before the debate began, Premier Iloyd George announced that he would at an early date ask leave to introduce bill "to amend the provis- ions of the government of Ireland" i" The premier's announcement of the pfobable early appearance of the home rule measure was greeted with cheers.
 Lloyd George and Bolshevism.
 Dealing at length with the situation n Russia, Mir. Lloyd George said he agreed with the view that Europe could not be restored without putting Russia, with all her strength and re- Sources into circulation"
 Bolshevism was possibly efficient said the premier, but it was not de- mocracy, and Russia must be restored under an anti-bolshevik regime.
 'Bolshevism cannot be crusht by force of arms" continued the pre- mler. l held that opinion a year ago, but my advice, rendered on that as- 5Wnption to the warning factions, was aeeilned. It was necessary to give the anti- ti-bolshevists chance to recover Russia, but they failed. The failure was not due to.lack of-equipment, but tomore fundamental causes"
 The premier contended that the suggested firing of fire' to crush the bolsheviki was impossible because it was doubtful whether Finland would c3nsent, and the Baltic states, he pointed out, were making peace with Rnssia, while Rumania was really en- gagged in watching the Hungarian front, and the Japanese were disin- elined toward the idea. Moreover, he added, neither France, the United States; Italy nor Great Britain was wiling to provide the funds.
 Jlntil they are assured that the bolsheviki have dropt' the method of harbarism in favor of civil govern nent," added the premier, mo civil lzed community in the world is pre- pared to make peace with them. Fur fhff, there is no established govern Ment possessing the right to speak fer the whole of European Russia. We failed to restore Russia to sanity by force. believe we can save her by tade."

There is nothing to fear from bolshevik invasion of surrounding esuntries or the middle east, because the bolsheviki cannot organize pow sxful army. l believe that trading will bring to an end the ferocity rapine and cruelties of boIshevism moro surely than any other method and Europe badly needs what Russia IS able to supply but cannot supply with contending armies moving across her borders.
 The dangers are not all in Russia; they are at home. I speak with knowledge, with apprehension and re- x - sibiiity, and warn the the house tina il the face of the things which may happen we must use every legitimate Weapon. We must fight anarchy with 8Hundance ?
