GRATITUDE FOR RESTORATION TO HEALTH. SETTLEMENT OF REPARATIONS PROBLEM. EVACUATION OF RHINELAND IN PROSPECT. United Press Assucis r ion.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (Received Tuesday, 11.59 p.m.) LONDON, July 2. In his Speech at the opening of Parliament, the King said: “While I regret that it is impossible to address you in person, I thank Almighty God that I can look forward confidently to that complete restoration to health wherefor the prayers of my people throughout the Empire, with sympathy and affection which call forth my deepest gratitude, were offered during the months of my long and serious illness. “My relations with foreign Powers continue friendly. Independent financial experts appointed to draw up proposals for a complete and definite settlement of the German reparation problem presented an unanimous report, which my Government is at present considering in preparation for a conference with representatives of the Governments concerned. A settlement of this problem will enable the occupying Powers to proceed with evacuation of the Rhineland.” — (Australian Press Association.—United Service.)
