Text of the Speech Ottawa, Ont., Feb, 20.--The text of the speech from the throne follows: LS oneurable members of the sen- ate: Members of the House of Com- mons: It affords me much pleasure to greet you at the commencement of another session of parliament, and to be able to congratulate you upon the continued prosperity of. the country. The year 1929 was the most productive year in the history of Canada, In industries, other htan agriculture, employ- ment roached the highest point on record: new construction was the largest known. Mining production was of unequalled value, Manu- facturing production surpassed all prev, inci e in the development of Hydro Electric power, The pro- ducts of our fields and car herds rached higher standards of excell- ence and quality than at any pre- vious time, The Dominion is al- ready recovering from the seasonal slackness evident at the end of the year, and it is not to be forgotten that the bulk of the 1929 wheat crop still remains in Canadian hands for final disposition. Foreign Trade Our trade with foreign countries has shown marked Increase, Dur- ing tho year additional trade com- missioners' offices have been open- ed in several countries, and "addi- tional steamship services Inaugur- ated to Australia and South Amer- ica. Tenders have been called for proposed extensions of steamship services to India and British East Africa. Our two railway systems have car- ried out extensive construction and development plans, and are contemp- lating further construction and devcl opments. The final section of the udson's Bay Railway has been com pleted. The construction of the Wel- land Ship Canal is now nearing com- pletion. On the opening of the new canal the Upper Lake grain carners will be able to reach Lake Ontario and Upper St. Lawrence Ports. The work of providing suitable terminals is proceeding. Legislation will be introduced re- specting the several railway proper- ties formerly privately owned and now embraced in the CaMadian Na- tional System. For some time past my ministers have been giving special attention to those problems which for many ycars have been a source of controversy between the provinces of Canada and the Dominion. Among matters of concern have been certain economic and financial readjustments deemed by the provinces essential' to their being placed in a position of equal- ity one with the other. To a greater or lesser extent, problems have aris- en with respect to all the provinces of Canada. Those of the 'maritime provinces were investigated by the royal commission on maritime claims and have been ini large part solved by the effect given to the recommens« dations of that body. Consideration is at present being given to the fin- al revision of the financial arrange- ments contemplated by the commis- sion's report. The provinces of Manitoba, Sas- katchewan and Alberta have nego- tiated for many years with the gov- ernment of Canada for the return of their natural resources. The province of British Columbia has sought the restoration to the province of lands comprising what is known as the rail way belt and Peace River block. With the provinces of Manitoba and Alberta and with the province of British Columbia agreements have us records, There was a vast" ted to you for approval, An offer similar in character and terms to that accepted by Alberta hasbeen made to Saskatchewan witly respect to the transfer to that province of its natural resources. The provinces of Ontario an Que- bec have been concerned over the question of water powers in their relation to navigation. It having become apparent, through a refer- ence to the supreme court, that this question cannot readily be settled by judicial determination, a solu- tion has been sought by conference which it is hoped will lead to a satisfactory settlement of this high- ly controversial problem. 'Pensions Legislation My ministers have also been making careful inquiry into the workers of the provisions and ad- ministration of the pensions act with a view to ascertaining what, in the light of past and present ex- peri , may be n ry to en- sure full effect being given to toe purpose of parliament in that enact- ment, As a result your attention will be invited to legislation to make more adequate provision for the needs of the veterans of the great war and their dependents, Broadcasting Report The report of the royal cqmmise sion appointed to inquire into the existing situation with respect to radio broadcasting in Canada will be presented for your consideration, The report of the royal commis- sion appointed to inquire into the classification and ermuneration of technical and professional officials of the civil service of Canada will also be presented for your consid- eration, Grain Board Legislation During the year a complete re- organization was effected in the personnel ' of the board of grain commissioners. Men of outstand- ing business, agricultural and sci- entific experience have beén ap- pointed to administer the Canada grain act. A bill will be presented for the consolidation of the Canada Grain Act, In accordance with the recommendation of the standing committee of the Hous¢ of Com- mons on agriculture at the last ses- sion. At the September meeting of the ssembly of the League of Nations, the optional clause of the statute of the permanent court, providing for the submission of justifiable disputes to arbitration, was signed on behalf of Canada and all the other nations of the British Com- monwealth, It will be submitted for your approval, In accordance with the recom- mendations of the imperial ®onfer- ence of 1926, a conference was held in London durfhg the past autumn to consider aud report on certain phases of the operation of domin- fon legislation and merchant ship- ping. The report of this conference will be submitted. Imperial Conference In the summer of last year an invitation was extended by His Majesty's Government in Canada to all His Majesty's other govern- ments to participate in an Imperial Economic Conference in Canada at the earliest possible date, It was found that the convenience of the majority of the governments could best be met by an arrangement to hold the Imperial Economic Con- forence along with the Imperial Conference in London in the early autumn of the present year. This has accordingly been arranged. Naval Conference Canada. in common with the other members of the British Com- monwealth of Nations, is partici- paitng in the conference, on the limitation of naval armament, which was opened in London by His Majesty on January 21st, It is confidnetly hoped that the discus- sions so auspiciously beguu will re- sult in a marked lessening of in- ternational rivalries and the growth of security and good-will Woman in Senate The eligibility of women for ap- pointmnet to the senate of Can- ada has been declared by the jud- felal committee of the privy coun- cil, and I have been pleased, on the advice of my ministers, to avail myself of the earliest oppor- tunity to summon a woman to the { been reached, which will be submit- FOR SCRAP BOARD AND GENERAL MOTORS HEAPING BIG TRUCKLOADS OF PROMPT DELIVERY ALSO GENERAL MOTORS HARD W00D Truck and Wagon Loads Jeddo Premium Coal - Solvay Coke DIXON COAL CO.
