George. speaking at tho opening of
tho House OF Commons this after
noon, termed the Washington Confer
cncc ono of the greatest achievements
ever registered in the history of the
world
AludinG to the House Of Lords
Mr.. Lloyd George said he felt doubly
committed to its reform.
Parliament rcasscmhcd AT Huol
for a session in which the political
.i'adtion doomed largely as affectin,;
,hr present Governments tenure of
Office.
The King and Queen again, as in
December, opened the session in full
state. with all the pomp and cere-
mony of pre-war days.
In his speech from the throne,
commenting on the Washington Arms
Conference, the King said:
"a treaty designed to maintain
peace in the Pacific has been signed
by representatives of the British EN-
pirc, the United States, France and
Japan and awaits ratification.
"While this treaty replaces the An
glo-Japancsc Alliance, / am happy TO
feel that the long standing concord
between the two countries will remain
as cordial as ever under the arrange
ments thus concluded. At the same
time our relations with the United
States of America enter a new and
even closer phase of friendship.
IAN agreement also was reached
| on the question of disarmament and
a treaty has been signed providing a
| large measure of relief from the bur-
| den of ornaments. IN all these re-
spects great results have been at
tanned, and the success of the confer
ence, for which the world will owe
| a deep debt of gratitude to the initi-
atve of the President of the United
States of America, will be the hap
piest augury for future international
relations.
"The problem OF securing paymen'
| of reparations by Germany in the
manner most comfortable to the gen.
eral interest engages the continuous
| consideration of my ministers and Of
our allies.
1.-THE German Government, at the
request of the Allies, have themselves
submitted proposals which now arc
under consideration.
| discussions recently initiated are
now proceeding between my Govern.
ment and France and Belgium with :
view to conclusion of agreements fol
common action in the event of an un-
provoked attack by Germany"
The King said that in the estimates
fo, the coming year every effort ma
teen made to reduce expenditures "a
the lowest possible total in order to
relieve the people as much as possible
from their heavy burdens.
Final establishment of the Irish
Free State as a partner in thu
British Commonwealth is anxiousl!
awaited throughout the world" he
said. you will therefore be invited
at an early date to consider such
measures as may be necessary to give
effect to tho agreement. A hl'l of IN
