HOUSE OF LORDS
Press Association—-’Ey Telegraph—Copyright.
♦ ■ LONDON, July 26. In the House of Lords Viscount Long, in discussing the reform scheme, expressed the opinion that the hereditary principle ought not to be lightly abandoned. There was no choice between it in tho somewhat amended form and the popularly-elected Chitfuber. ~ Any attempt to provide a House consisting of various classes of members was bound to fail. The fear_ of a Labor Government alone did not justify the introduction of the changes. He did not believe that Labor was likely to go in for a republic, hostility to the Crown, or anything of the sort. The Marquis of Aberdeen said) that, though at present the public view was favorable to them, the Lords had good reason for seeking a settlement now. Tho question of the admission of peeresses could not be left over permanently.—A. and 'N.Z. Cable.
