! BRITISH 0yE-cRAuBER Plan.


4 recent address of the British Prime Minis
ter on the political situation in the United
Kingdom IS interpreted as declaring for out
right abolition of the House Of Lords and the
reduction Of Parliament 70 a single chamber,
10 Wit The present Holse Of Commons. Whether
Mr AsGuith really meant 10 make SO radical a
proposition we shall not assume, TO decide. His
words are susceptible Of more than one inter
pretation. But the meaning which we have
cited IS applied TO them by some judtctous OBJ
servers in England, and may therefore be re
g9rded possibly correct That It will be
eppauded by a considerable number OF Mr..
Asquith's political supporters is not &c be
doubted It has long been apparent that vari-
Gus radical factions are desrous of establish
ing the single-chamher system They have
publicly proclaimed their admiration Of the ex-
ample set by the French Revolutionary Con-
vention
We should not however. expect 10 fnd the
Prime Minister sharing to the full their eX-
treme view. nor 70 find majority OF the Lib
eral party, even not TO mention the whole cleo
/ torate approving Il There are unQueStlonably
some serious faults IN the present constitution
and conduct Of the House OF Lords. In its
composition 1t is unique. In its conduct 1t has
not infreQuently caused much annoyance 10 the
Liberal r,Nry and may sometimes have dis
pleased and disappointed the majority OF the
nation. But we should doubt If it has ever so
offended as 10 provoke anything like q ma
lority Of the nation 10 desire its abolition. On
the other hand, 1t has on more than two
occasions through its exercise OF q sHspensory
veto or its enforcement Of deliberation, rem
dered inestimable benefits to the nation, and It
is recognized as a means of securing to the
nation valuable services which otherwise would
be altogether lost
While the present constitution Of the House
OF Lords is unique the government Of such a
country as the United Kingdom-indeed, the
British Empire-by a One-Chambered iegisat-
ure would be equally singular. al great par
liamentary nations have second chambers of
some sort These vary IN composition and funC-
tons. but in general they serve two great pur-
poses. They provide for q representation Of
legitimate interests which could scarcely be
adequately represented in a single chamber,
and they secure a certain deiiberation and cir
cumspection In law-making which must be re
garded as essential TO iudicous progress That
the British people Will fnd a way Of correcting
the faults and increasing the efficiency OF the
House OF Lords We have no doubt We do not
believe that they will altogether abolish that
house and intrust their government 10 the un-
checked will Of a single chamber
