Locarno Pact Lauded in
Throne Message At
Parliament Opening;
Cooperation Asked
fBv The Associates Press }


LONDON, Feb. 2.-Ouenine parlia-
ment with the speech from the throne
today King George expressed belief
that the Locarno security agreement
had paved the way for a further step
in the direction of arms limitation.
He announced that the British gov
ernment was attempting to arrive at
rettlement with Turkey on the vexing
Mosul question and reioiced that his
government had been able to arrive at
a debt funding agreement with Italy
Touching on domestic affairs, he ap-
pealed for cooperation from all parties
to reduce the widespread unemploy-
ment and bring about return of good
trade and prosperity.
Settle With Italy
Zone of my ministers will proceed to
Geneva as British representative of the
preparatory commission on disarmament
which is to work out the basis or gen
eral conference on reduction of arma-
ments" he said. ''In the opinion of my
government, substantial step forward
in that direction should now be pos
sible as result of the system of Sc
curity created by the treaty Of Locarno
and subsidiary agreements.
"My government recently received in
London the finance minister Of 1taiy,
accompanied by distinguished dele
cation, and concluded an agreement
which provides for the funding of the
Italian war debt to this country on fair
and honorable conditions. rejoice
that friendly settlement has been
reached in this difficult question.
Invitations are being issued to the
governments of Belgium. France, Ger
many and Italy to attend a conference
in London to consider the possibility
of securing an effective international
agreement for regulating the hours OF
labor"
Seeks Cancellation
The king pointed out that the i'm
provement in trade and industry at the
end Of 1924, which it was hoped would
increase employment was unfortunately
checked early last year by widespread
depression in the coal mining indus
try, since autumn Of last year signs Of
a revival of industry had begun to ap-
pear but the growth of confidence upon
which revival depended was being ar
rested by fear Of industrial strife An
nouncing that the result of the commits
sion of inquiry into the coal industry
would shortly be published, he contin-
ued:
81 am well aware Of the difficulties
inherent in the whole situation but the
interests of the nation are paramount
and | appeal to all parties to face the
future in a spirit of conciliation and
fellowship and avoid action which would
again postpone the return of good trade
and prosperity for which we have SO
long hoped.
