his majesty king george opens worlds naval limiting parley greatest broadcast world has yet enjoyed was started by kings voice and followed by britains premier the king speaks to his people the kings speech the kings speech it is with sincere satisfaction that i am present here to welcome the delegates of the five principal naval powers assembled with the object of eliminating the evil results of waste ful competition in naval armaments every nation represented here is proud of its navy proud of that navys past achievements and its in spiring traditions it is not the fault oftheso traditions nor of our navies if competition in naval construction due to the supposed necessities of poilcy has led to a feeling of inse curity between nations and even to the risk of war since tho great war all peoples havo determined that human state craft shall leave nothing undone to prevent repetition of that grim and immense tragedy in the edifice of peace which we are seeking to buiid up one of its most important columns is agreement between the maritime nations on tho limitation of naval strength and reduction to a point con sistent with national security the practical application of the principle of the reduction of naval armaments has in the past proved a matter of extreme difficulty great success was achieved in the conclusion of the washington treaty of 1922 imposing certain limitations on the construc- tion of capital ships and aircraft car riers but hitherto all efforts to ad vance beyond that point have failed i beiieve that you to whom your governments have entrusted the high mission of continuing the task begun at washington are animated with singleminded intentions of working not with any selfish and exclusively nationalistic purpose but with the noble inspiration and resolve to re move once and for all this particular obstacle from tiio path of ordered and civilized progress all nations have varying needs de manding special consideration but it each is equally determined to make some sacrifice as a contribution to the common good i feel sure that your deliberations will confer a great and lasting benefit not only upon tho country which you represent but upon mankind generally i earnestly trust that the results of this conference will lead to the im mediate alleviation of the heavy bur dens of armaments now weighing up on the peoples of the world and also fcy facilitating the future work of the league preparatory commission on disarmament hasten the time when a general disarmament confer- once can deal with this problem in an oven more comprehensivo manner in this hope i shall follow your delibera tions with the greatest interest and closest attention mr macdonald for britain the gracious speech to which we have just listened both conveys to you the hearty welcome of this coun try and also expresses tho hope which the people of every nation share that our labors here may be crowned with success it is peculiarly appropriate and it is a cause of the most ardent satis faction to us that this should be the occasion of his majestys first public speech since hi3 recent illness and i venture to offer to him in your name our most hearty thanks and con gratulations every country today wealthy and povertystricken alike feels the bur- don of arms dreads their coupetitive development doubts the value of the security they give and would like to escapo from their influence and power and yet as has been shown again and again tho difficulties in the way are manifold all however come principally from one source a lack of confidence spirit of doubt tho spirit of doubt whispers there will be some state which will refuse to carry out its obligations to tho community of peaceful states the machinery of arbitration will break down somowhere and somehow do tfhat wo may a situation yi arise one day when a deadlock 01 some kind will have to bo faced and there will be but one remaining method the oldfashioned one of a fight thus a habit of mind nurtured by jho experience of many generations controls our thinking and our actions casts a shiver of hesitancy over all cur peace efforts and prevents a great ihrngo in our attitude toward mili tarism as a means of national secur ity as a matter of fact teo genera tions of experience which fear uses to pen us up in spellbound fastnesses of militarism ought by their failures to enlighten us so that wo break the spell and seek for peace and security by other means that will come how rcarvoloucly slow it has been how easy it is to retard the progress of stater when old habits can be enlisted to fisht en lightened reason the whole world it may bo said with almost literal accuracy is turn ing its eyes upon us today it ex pects that we shall deliberate and negotiate on the assumption that hav ing put our names to pacts of peace wo moan to respect our signatures it prays that we shall not only relieve it of burdens but establish it still more securely in the ways of peace broad creative field it begs us to give public opinion a eharee and to lift our program out of the narrower scrutiny of the tech nical experts and to put it on the broader field of the creative states men above all it demands from us an agreement to stop tho competition which has recently begun to show it self both in tho types and the number of ships if we are not careful we shall bo once more involved in a feverish competition such as pre ceded the outbreak of the recent war at the same time if the confer ence and its work are to be judged justly some appreciation must be shown of the nature of its task since 1919 the securing of peace has occu pied much of the attention of nations and very considerable progress has been made tho league of nations has stead- lly built up its authority and in vari ous clauses of its covenant provides mutual security to welldoers and pun ishment for evildoers rmong the ca tions the peace pact signed in paris in 192s which though lacking in mach inery except that which the covenant supplies for members of the league is nevertheless a mighty moral bul wark against war and we must never underestimate the effectiveness of moral bulwarks with no bayonets nor bludgeons behind them the entry of tho united states in to the permanent court of interna tional justice the growing confidence in the court and the increasing num ber of nations who have signed the optional clause marks a definite and i believe irrevocable step in the dis placement of military power by judi cial process in the settlement of in ternational disputes not yet found public servants like us will tail in our duty if we do not diminish mili tary power in proportion to the in crease of this political security on the other hand no one can say that an absolute security for peace and justice has yet been found there are risks on which ever side one leans but i think the practical view is that political securities must determine the amount of military pre paration that excessive military pre paration is not only a wasteful use of national resources hut a weakening of political security that military pre paration which any one nation feels to be necessary at any given moment must be determined to a considerable degree by the military preparations of other natfons so that no nation la free except by international agree ment to pursue the policy of disarma ment beyond certain rigidly defined limits the disarmament must be inter national by agreement the agree ment itself whatever language is used for figures inserted must not menace the freedom of other nations they should bo subject to review at frequent intervals so that the politi cal movement for security may be used for a policy of progress to dis armament this conference has therefore to value tho securities now afforded to nations by the political guarantees i have referred to and agree mutually upon how tar they can on the as sumption of a continuing peace re- duco arms i daro to affirm that in the naval programs of the leading nations there is a margin between real security needs and actual or projected strengths and the world expects this conference to eliminate that margin different obligations it will both smooth and shorten our work perhaps if we would as sume two things in our discussions the first thing is that we have differ ent obligations imposed upon us by geographical position w responsi bility and responsibility in the event of war conferences have broken down be cause there has been an unwilling ness or an inability to understand that this is so that therefore a ton used in ships for one purpose is a totally different thing from one ton used in ships for another purpose i know that the plea of noed can be stretched almost to infinity and that in it lurks danger but if peace is in our hearts and reduction of armaments in our minds the sub stance of what constitutes our needs can bo fairly admitted by each of us as regards tho other and can bo satis fied in the form and provisions of an agreement and the conference will be a conspicuous success the second thing which we might assume is this that although arma ments cannot be divided into water tight compartments naval land and air forces for practical purposes we mutt discuss them scparatoly always remembering when coming to our india celebrates need protection

president of the east ern ontario dairymens association questioned the accuracy of the gov ernments statistics on butter produc tion in canada he thought they were excessive he hoped the board would be seized of the fact that tho group who wero now making their appeal representative as they wero of pro ducers and dairymen were unanimous in their request it had been stated quite correctly that a farmer whoso cows produced 5000 lbs of butter fat annually merely broke even while there were cows that produced as high as 15000 to 20000 lbs the vast per centage of farmers had herds which came under tho 5000 lb figure there was no encouragement for tho to abstain from the independence day farmer to continue in that branch of industry and consequently no induce ment for young men to stay on tho farm boys and girls born n the farm wore now being given a good education but the result of that education was to send the young peoplo to the cities for the reason that farming was hold ing out no inducements c w jiacmillan of arnaud 5ian representing the manitoba dairymens association declared that the can adian farmers did not want to destroy the australian treaty all hey want ed was a stimulant sufficieit to make agriculture and particularly dairying attractive mixed farming had in the past prov ed a solvent for many agricultural problems and it was reasonable to think that it should similiarly be effec tive in ameliorating the ills of the canadian farmer represents quebec august truje1 prcsiden of the montreal produce mens association declared that butter production in canada was not satisfactory and the province of quebec was no exception it was evident the butter industry had not progressed comparably with other branches of agriculture or manufac ture 3ir trudel did not agree with sta tistics regarding the production of dairy butter the figuro 15000000 pounds had been given last year for quebec yet although he had a close acquaintance with that province he could not under stand how that figure was arrived at he asked bir robinson to give a figuro covering the eastern town ships and showing what proportion of farmers wero making dairy butter sir robinson
