LORDS AND LABOUR.
PEER DEPRECATES ALARM. NO REPUBLICAN TENDENCY. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 5.11 vjd-) LONDON, July 25. Viscount Long, speaking in the House of Lords on the reform resolution, expressed the opinion that the hereditary principle ought not to be lightly abandoned. There was no choice between it in a somewhat amended form and a popularly elected chamber. Any attempt to provide a House consisting of various classes of members was bound to fail. Fear of a Labour Government alone did not justify the introduction of changes. He did cot believe that Labour was likely to go in for a republic, hostility to the Crown, or anything of tnat sort. The Marquis ol Aberdeen thought that the present time was favourable for reform in the public view and the House of ; Lords bad good reason for seeking a satisI factory settlement now. The question of • the admission of peeresses could not be | ieft over permanently.
