BRITISH POLITICS.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL PROBLEM. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright). LONDON. March 13. Dr Frederick Harrison, in a letter t« the Times, suggests that until a permanent Upper House is evolved a temporary expedient might be found by the formation of a Parliamentary Committee of seventy-flve members selected from the Privy Council, e; luding Royal or clerical Councillors and Commoners, to arbitrate in conflicts between the Commons and the Lords. He argues that every Privy Councillor who does not belong to either House is emphatically independent and moderate, and adds that the committee suggested would resemble the Supreme Court of the United S .ates, which acts judicially, in protecting the Constitution.
