LIBERAL AMENDMENT.
SOCIAL REFORM MISSING.
(Received 1 p.m.) LONDON, February 7. Colonel Lambert-Ward's speech included pleasantly phrased references 1o the Speaker's chair at Canberra, which would serve as a bond of union between the British and Dominion Parliaments. He trusted all the proceedings of Canberra would be characterised by the courtesy which was traditional in the Mother Parliaments. The visit of the Duke and Duchess of York had given great satisfaction to Australia and New Zealand.
The Liberals have decided that Mr. Lloyd George shall move an amendment regretting that the speech does not contain any indication that the Government appreciate the hardships .of social and industrial life or contemplate amelioration by measures for the development of the national resources and the provision of work for unemployed, or a solution of the slum problem.—(A. and N.Z. and Sydney "Sun.")
