 on Own Responsibility

 London, Fb. 12. Ramsay Mac Donald, Great Britain's new labor prime minister, rising at 4:i5 o'clock this afternoon for his first speech in ! the house of commons as head or the government called attention to the fact that no party had a majority. The new conditions, therefore, would nccessitatc alteration in the habits of the members, as individually they would have 10 vote more and more on their personal responsibility and not merely as party politicians.
 The labor government. Mir. Mac Donald declared, was not going out of office as the result Of any snap di- vision. It would only go out if it were defeated on a substantial issue
 Mir. Macdonald thanked the calm and sane-minded businessmen" who had warned investors not to make fools of themselves because of the advent Of labor government. He appealed to the country to keep steady.
 Are we going to pursue a policy of tranquility" said NIT. Macdonald interrogatively. No. we are not; we are going to pursue fuller policy and policy of confidence"
 Mir. Macdonald maintained that eilt-edged securities had increased in value since the advent Of the labor government.
 The government. he said. would place before the house every one Of the economic conference resolutions for a vote. It would also carry on the inheritance of the social measures mentioned in the kings last speech.
 Defends Health Order
 The premier defended Health Min istcr wheatley's order by which the guardians Of the Poplar district of London had been given a sort of free hand in the distribution Of relief to the unemployed. This. he declared, was an insignificant mechanical operation. Ii was not an indication that the labor government was going to encourage uneconomic extraNa- gances by any of the expending de- partments.
 The premier said it would be necessary co create a building pro- gram stretched over a number Of years in order to give tho building trades the necessary guarantee Of work.
 With regard to unemployment the would aim first at the restoration Of trade.
 Ridicult.S Attacks.
 The premier ridiculed the attacks made on labor which assumed that labor's only conception Of capital vas that it should be raided and dis tr1buted and % bring the nation to bankruptcy.
 He wished to make it perfectly clear, be added. that the government had no intention of drawing Od from Inc normal channels or trade large sums for extemporized measures which could only be paIliativcs.
 Pending the revival Of trade. con iinued the premier. there must be adequate maintenance of tho unem- sioyed The government would speed up the trades faciIities scheme. The 1

 Two Big Treaties l The premier announced that two important agreements must be rati- fled, namely. me treaty of Eousanne, with Turkey, and the treaty between France and Spain to which Great Britain is party, regarding the Tangier regime.
 Mir. Macdonald announced that an authoritative committee would be appointed to survey the national f- nances for the guidance Of the chan cellor of the exchcqucr.
 At another point the prime minis- ter said:
 '1 am convinced that a compete agreement win be reached between employers and employed. and that the question Of labor and production will have been successfully solved"
 On the subject or expenditures. the premier said stories were being spread about eNtravaganccs contcm- plated by the cabinet. These were all nonsense. he declared. The country sooner or later would have to become acquainted with the driv- ing hand of labor, as he was very glad it had come so soon.
 The Housing Problem.
 With regard 10 the housing prob lem he said the government aimed al houses yalued at f500 which would bp rented at an average of nine shillines the week. including taxes. Building houses for sale. he considered. did not solve the problem.
 On the Russian question the pre- mier said:
 "The government decided to recoE- ] nize Russia. and we have had 10 wait until 1924 to take the first step in a policy which is absolutely essential . for the revival or our foreign trade"

 The chamber was crowded. The

 The Tories were clearly in a fight ing mood and opened hostilities by loud shouts of speak up .~ wher Ben Spoor. chief government whip. made q motion in low tone. This was repeated with other ministers and is a departure from the forebear- 4ncs usually given a new cabinet.
 Feeling ran high during ihe ques- ion period and controversial ques- lions were hurled at the government from many quarters.
 Mir Macdonald was asked whether bis attention had been called to the being widely circulated ap- Deaiing for q world conference on reconstruction. and whether this rep -escnted the policy 0f the Eovernment.
 The premier replied that the aues- . ion was of far too general import $ ,nce to be answered in this way. The j was dealing uith the de- ' sils of such settlement and he was ! lad to aan able 10 say that the pros ,ecfs werc rro1nisiBe He welcomed ( .verv moyement to enlist support Ior his obJscs

as to seemingly Danish the idea Of death.
Numerous royal scepters, slaves, bows
and maces were found in the second
shrine. The great task of removing
the huge, heavy doors of the outer
shrine was successfully accomplished, and
the greater task of renewing the ponder
