THE KING’S SPEECH.
LONDON PRESS COMMENT RESTRAINED. LABOUR PAPER ON A GOOD BEGINNING. RESPECT FOR THE ELECTORAL VERDICT. Unitea Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. (Received Wednesday, 7 p.m.) LONDON, July 2. The newspapers discuss the King’s Speech restrainedly. The "Daily Herald’’ says the programme represents nothing more than the beginning of a vast rebuilding task, but it is a good beginning when all the circumstances are taken into account. There is much work ahead in the nature of navvying and clearing wreckage from the Tory and Liberal administrations. The "Daily Telegraph” says Mr. MacDonald is bent on remaining in office, rather than advancing Socialism. Most of the proposals in the King’s Speech, so far as principle is concerned, may well receive a general measure of Conservative and Liberal support. "The Times" says that the Speech will cause little contention and will disappoint only zealots who would prefer that the Labour Party had broadened its phylacteries rather than its faith. The authors of the Speech have evidently been at pains to respect the verdict and intentions of the electorate and to acknowledge the composition of the new House. —(Australian Press Association.)
