OPPOSITION | LEADER CALLS SITUATON ALMOST AS MEN- AOING AS WAR ITSELF.London, Feb.11\u2014The King opened Parliament in semi-state today.Much af the usual ceremonial was dispensed with because the court is in mourning for Prince John.Both Houses of Parliament with peers and state officials assembled in \u2018ae House afterwards where the King read his Address from the Throne, but only military uniforms and civilian clothes were worn by the peers and the peeresses.Almost the entire E\u2018nlomatie corps was present.The Ging and Queen drove to Westminster in à six horse landau, with the -nurt officals following in four car- \u2018ages Aîtez the members of the House of (Comrions debated the address, Wil I'am Adamson, Leader of the Labor I'sriv, spoke in hehalf of that party wi the inlustriaï situation, which he veclared was almost as menacing and rosgerous as vent itself.Prerier Lloyd George, in discues- +g the general situation declared that ¢n rection of the community, however reoserfui.shouid be allowed to vw the whole nation.and he announe- -4 the determination of the Governvent, in base such action was neces.rary.to hight Prussianism in the industrial wopld exactly as we fought it 041 the continent of Furope.\u201d If industria} unrest continues the consequences will be grave to trade and industry.Premier Lloyd George declared in the House of Commons talay.The Government.he said, would agree to any kind of investigation Into the causes of the unrest.Special war conditions, the Premier thought.had contributed to the unrest, among these conditions were the srain of four years of war and the fear of unemployment.The Premier said that hills would he introduced next week dealing with housing.health, the revival of rural life.land settlement for soldiers.land reclamation and afforestation.Mr.Lloyd George said there would be plenty of opportunities of employment if confidence was given those responsible for starting industries and unless the cost of production went so high thet it reduced the purchasing power of the community of put the country out of the world markets.Discussing housing conditions, the Premier referred tn over-crowding in many districts which had heen dg gravated during the war by the con- regating in already crowded areas, he Government would do its best to alleviate such conditions, Hours nf fibor, he said.already had been fired in industries involving three million persons.Before the war.the Premier said.Great Britain exported more than one tuilion tons of goods and it was computed that half the cost of the goods was wages.The difference oi à few siiflings.in a ton of commodity like coal, he added, might deprive (he sountry of hundreds of millions of pounds and might throw hundreds of thousands out of work.Before the war tne railways were making profits of Afty millions, according to the Premier, but their expenses were now increased by ninety millions, largely in wages.To reduce the hours of isbor while paying the same wages, he contended, would be to increase unemployment.Referring to \u201cdemands put forward not to dbtain fair conditions, vut to overthrow the existing order, te destroy the Government\u201d the Premier declared: \u201c1 say in oil solemnity on Sehalf of the Government that we are detecmnin- ed te fight Prussieniem in the industrial world exactly as we fought i on the continent of Kurope.\u201cIf afi classes of the community are prepared to make the necessary sce fees for the stability, purity end freedom of industry, I em prepared to ay, with full knowledge of the consequences, that no sestion of the eum- munity, however powerful, shall be allowed to hold up the whale nation\u201d The Premier soncladed with an ap- pesi that the vietery won by Satie re should not be wantonly dissipated in a few weeks frenzied strife.Labor's View.Willi.m Adamson, leader of the Labor l'urty, speaking on the industrial situation said that it was almost as menacing and dangerous as war itself.He said that the labor amendment to the reply to the Address from the Throne would relate to the causes of industrial unrest \u201cI hope.\u201d he continued, \u201cthat no attempts will be made to disappoint the legitimate expecrations of the working people.All sections of the people should understand that we have reached the stage when we have laid the cards on the table and when the working classes will reiuse longer to be treated as cogs in a machine for mere profit-inaking purposes.\u201d Mr.Adamson said he regretted thae no mention had been made in the King\u2019s Speech concerning pensions or of the disposal of Government shipyards, factories and other properties on which millions have been spent, ot of Rusgia.: Mr.Adamson said he spoke for the party of constitutional lsborites.In referring to a suggestion that the present unrest had heen caused by a revolutionary group he said his group never would encourage revolution or unconstitutional action.The revolutionary elements, the .Labor Leader said.would exert litle | influence uniess there were genuine | grievances which thev coul! exploit \"unfortunately, he said, there were Many grievances concerning wages and hres of employment and fear of more unemsloyment ae well as a fear that the Government was eneourag.ing monopolies which would male the cost of living impossible, Mr.Adamson further asked for statements remarding conactintion and for the submission to Parliament of the final peace terms hefore they are rat'fied.Answering the claim that the Labor Party was the principal opposition in the legislature he mid that the Laboritien were readv to suppart the Government in any acceptable proposal hut that ther would do their utmost to prevent vested interests from \u201cpressing down upon the brow of labor a crown of thorns snd eruci.fyine the worker upon a cross of sold.\u201d JELLICOE AN AUTHOR.Has Written Book of Naval Revelntions in Late War.London,

Feb.11\u2014 The Agency gives out a statement by Count Chinds, the Japanese Ambassador to Great Britain, who is now representing his country at the peace conference hers, declaring the reports to be untrue that Japan has exercised pressure on China to restrain the action of the Chinese delegates to the conference.He says: \u201cThere has been no pressure exercised, no menace formulated, no bar- aining done on the subject of the rovince of Shantung.or any other Chinese territory.No right of control has been sought over China and there | has been in no degree any ambition to represent China at the Peace Conferi ence.\u201cBesides, our relations with the President of the Chinese Republic and the Ministry are most cordial.\u201d Thinly Velled Threats.Washington, D.C., Feb.11\u2014Accord- ing to the reports received here the threats against China were conveyed to the Chinese Foreign Minister by the Japanese Minister in Peking in thinly veiled terms.The Japanese Minister is said to have pointed out that Japan had an army of more than a million men idle at home fully equipped and with arms and munitions enough to conduct a long war and to have pointed out that Japan bad more than a half million tons of shipping, with the intimation tbat this would be ready on short notice for active work.He also is said to have referred point- ediy to large sums of meaey owed to Japan by China, and to the fact that China had heen unable to live up to her financial agreements.Upon arriving in Paris without the copies of the treaties which they had been instructed to use in seeking :o break Japan's grip.the Chinese delegates made verbal reports of the substance of these treaties to some of the peace delegates of other countries.This led the Japanese authorities to demand of China to disavow this action on the part of ler delegates and that she keep secret the treaties.Th\u20ac most important of the treaties as yet unratified by China is the agreement of September 24, 1919, which grants Shantung to Japan and admits Japan as the successor to Germany's rights.concessions and properties in the Shantung district.This includes railways.mines and other valuable property and the rights to them for a long term of years.According to the Chinese claim.Japan already has possession, under treaties and agreements of two-fifths of the iron ore deposits of the entire Chinese Empire and is seeking possession of the other three- fifths.China has asked, depending upon the impression made upon the accredited delegates from the other countries, that the peace conference see the twentv.one demands made npon China by Tapan in 1918 be revoked and that the Chinese Republic he removed definitely from the influence nt fanaa.The complete independence of China ie asked under the protection of the league of nations.VLOG AVVO AT OV DO OBI DY ® e $ SHIPPING MOVEMENTS © 8 LUA AURA SOU GONE GO Sailings from Halifax, N.S., Feb.11 \u2014Steamers Galva for Port Arthur; Sarnolite for

3nd, the time which is given you to amswer mre, a quarter of an hour.\u201d If you confined yourself to my letter of the 6th of February you would not make this statement, for it is far from being exact.This is what I wrote: 1 do not wish to discuss the inequality of the conditions which you impose upon me especially as regards the choice of the place and the divi- son of the time, fifteen minutes for me ang no restrictions on you before and after my answer.1 do not see by what logic you can conclude that I refused your invitation chiefly for these two reasons particularly when the following paragraph milicated very clearly the motive for my refusal.I quote this paragraph to refresh your memory and particularly that of the newspaper readers: \u201cAt a events | decline your invitation because I believe that the personality of Mr.Magnan and that of Mr.Bouchard should be set asde in this big question which is now claiming the attention of the Provinee.\u201d Is that not clesr enough?I will add: \u201cThe discussion whioh might take place at the University wilt not advance the solution of the problem one step,\u201d and 1 concluded by mating: \u201cPlease believe, Mr.Magnan, that yeu will not succeed in dragging me inte a personal quarcel to make Me forget the main issue.\u201d I have not changed my opinion and I again decline your offer.| blamed you for intrading into political questions and my presence at your meeting would be an acquiescence in the propriety of public servants meddling in the debates of the House and taæ- ing sides for one party or another.You write: \u201cIt is on the advice of enlightened persons (sic) that I limited the t'me thet would be granted \"More enlightened persone would have advised you to not invite me st all if you had consulted them nt the proper.time, that is to say, before publishing your first open let- have advised you not to overstep your duties and you would have avoided the annoyance which has been occusioned you.The ques tion of the rights and duties of parents properly belongs to the Council of Public Instruction, to the Legisl tive Assembly and the Legs Council and it is, to say the east, im-~ proper that it should be declared solv- od by a public servant before it has even been considered by these three , bodies.Yours truly, .T.D.BOUCHARD.Quebec, February 11, 1919.DIVER AGAIN SURVEYS SUNKEN LOCOMOTIVE In th psesence cf several Canadian Pacific Railway officials a diver employed by the company made another survey yesterday afternoon of the iocomotive, cab and tender which went over the Pointe.ad- ers \u201cto sir atitute vwurselves in this new inarket.\u201d Regarding the French sugar nidus jy the German headquarters pam- 1 phlet says: \u201cBusiness relations vrith Germany care sure to continue because the | French sugar industry cannot du without German beet seed without damaging itself and it must also buy large quantities of German cola.the i French coal mines having Commencing from Tanuary, 1939, the rep diere lepemfente joa Denar ment of Laamgsa\u2019 copay Tes > Food-Drink, instantiy prepared ORIGINAL Horton proces ced carefully selecicd materiale.Used syccessfully over Y century.Endorsed by physicians every Wheto.Horlick's me erga Js Moving, Iitations TIT EN \u201cThe @ueber Chronicle | Printed and pablieued by de Chronicle Poiatidg Company, 1).\\Varson, Generai Maueger, at the building of the Company, 9 Buade Street.Quebec.Subssrption;
