REFORM OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
(By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Per Press Association.) LONDON, Feb. 9. • Mr Griffiths, Unionist Member for Wednesbury, writing to the Daily Mail, proposes that the Upper House be curtailed to two hundred members, the Colonies to be asked to nominate forty members who have done Imperial work—Canada ten, Australia eight, and the others in proportion. He adds that an Imperial Navy is nd\v an urgent necessity, and the oversea dominions perceive the need and begin to build. Unless they are given the chance of expressing their feelings in the management of the Navy, Britain cannot expect any fixed method or percentage of contribution. Mr Griffiths concludes by saying that we have had enough of slamming the door in the face of the Colonies.
