WELLINGTON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28, 1922.

THE Fourth Session of the Twentieth Parliament of New Zealand was this day
opened by the Governor-General, when His Excellency was pleased to make
the following

SPEECH.

HONOURABLE GENTLEMEN OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, AND GENTLEMEN OF
THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,—

It is with sincere pleasure that I again meet you in Parliament
assembled.

During the recess the marriage of the only daughter of our Most
Gracious Sovereign with Viscount Lascelles intensified the loyal sentiment
which permeates the Empire and provided an opportunity for an expression
of the deep affection in which Their Majesties are held. On behalf of the
people of this Dominion I sent suitable messages of congratulation, to
which I received gracious replies from His Majesty and Princess Mary.

The unusual shortness of the recess and the need for paying constant
personal attention to the important affairs arising in this Dominion
prevented my Prime Minister from accepting the invitation extended
to him to attend the recent Conference held at Genoa. My Attorney-
General, who is visiting Great Britain, was appointed to represent New
Zealand, but was able to attend only the later stages of the Conference.
In his absence the members of the English Delegation were asked to
act for this Dominion. He has also been appointed to represent New
Zealand at the Conference now being held at The Hague.

A very important Conference dealing with the subject of national
disarmament was held last year at Washington. As neither my Prime
Minister nor any of my other Ministers could attend, the Honourable
Sir John Salmond, a Judge of the Supreme Court, was appointed to
represent this Dominion. The results of this Conference exceeded
expectations, and have laid a sound foundation for peace among those
nations that participated in it. Papers relating to this Conference will be
laid before you for your information.
