FIXED EASTER
ENGLISH PROPOSAL. LONDON, March 15. Tn the House of Lords, Lord Dcsborough raised the question of putting into operation an Act fixing Easter Sunday as the day following the second Saturday of April. The Archbishop of Canterbury said that there was unanimity among industrial, commercial, educational and judicial interests in favour of the convenience of a fixed Faster. lie said ecclesiastical authorities had no objection on the grounds of dogma or essential principles, but the Church of England strongly felt that there should be no change till all of the leading Christian communities consented. The Archbishop said that the Holy See in Rome held the key to the position. He hoped that it would consent to a fixed Easter. Earl Lucan said that the Government favoured the Act, and hoped that all religious bodies would consent.
