Great Britain is Immersed in the po--
itical campaign which has been in
augurated by the refusal Of the House
OF Lords to consent 10 the budget. Inc

camps composed CT those who support
the Lords action and those who con-
tend that the House OF Commons must
have absolute control OF the finances

sues. such as tariff refors versus iree
trade. but these are being pushed IN
to the background by the conflict be-
tween the two houses.

tons are busy selecting candidates
and preparing for the contests~rin
their respective districts, the leaders
from the parties are carrying on
general campaign.
