REFORM OF THE LORDS
A TEMPORARY EXPEDIENT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, March 13. Mr. Frederic Harrison, in a letter to 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 75 members, selected from the Privy Councillors and members of the' House of Commons, to arbitrated conflicts between the House of Commons and the House of Lords. He argues that every Privy Councillor who does not belong to either House is emphatically independent and moderate.
Mr. Harrison adds that the committee suggested would resemble the Supreme Court of the United States, which acts judicially in protecting the constitution.
