(special to The News via G.T.P. Telegraphs.)

OTTAWA, February
pmality Parliament was opened yesterday afternoon

of Devonshire, 4n the Commons chamber of the new
vaines, Ladies in evening gowns occupied seats on the floor
aad i galleries, while here and there were parliamentarians
brilliant court uniforms. The sun streaming through the west
ndows made the interior of the chamber a sea of color.
The Government legislative program outlined in the speech
»m the throne comprises a bill to provide for the Dominion
nchise, a bill respecting copyrights, a bill providing for the
rendment of the Patent Act, of the Loan and Trust Companys
of the Indian Act, and the Exchequer Court Act. There will
o be a bill to ratify the International Opium Convention.
The speech from the throne referred to the ratification of the
ace Treaty between the Allied Powers and Germany and the
mal constitution of the League of Nations. “It is satisfactory
note,” the speech significantly rémarked, “that the status of
ada as a member of the league has thus been definitely fixed.”
jn the European economic field,” the Governor-General con-
ved, “clear vision is still impossible. The unsettled state of
» exchange, the lack of International credits, and the inflation
the paper currency, combined with scarcity of raw materials
4 the demoralization of labor and transport united to retard
nduction and restrict the rebuilding of waste caused by the
. But it is cause for thankfulness that of all countries affected
the war, Canada has maintained a record of social order and
ustrial and commercial prosperity second to none.”

H. W. Wood, president of the

sided over the peace conference. |
He declared that government aid |
to the amalgamated body could
be accepted without sacrificing
independence. Before amalgama-
tion is achieved the United Farm-
ers will have to become fully in-
couporated-as the farmers’ insti-
tules are, because it would be im-
possible for the institute to join
with a non-incorporated body.

trading branches of the institutes
will be put under contrci of each

into district groups.

J. W. Berry presiding over the
igricultnral conference urged the
delegates, when they returned to
their, locals, to .use the word
‘nmaleamated” and shun the ex-
soossien ‘that the institutes were
to be absorbed by the United
Farmers,” as that might irritate
institute men and impede amal-
gamation.
