LONDON. December 2i.--There IL
a growing belief In London to-day, as
the result of the conference between
Premier Asqulth and the king. that
the king will create enough liberal
peers TO change the complexion of the
upper body. There Is nothing tangi-
bie on which 10 base this belief. other
than the fact that to-day's conference
was at the kings request. This lack
OF proof, however, has not prevented
the liberal leaders from accepting to-
days developments az an assurance
Of their parliamentary triumph.
Asauith arrived In London this
morning from Scotland, where he had
gone to be the guest OF Lord Rose
berry over Christmas. 1t Ia not ex.
pected that the result OF the confer
ence will be known except to- three
or four insiders until the kings hd

new parliament.
There 10 no attempt to conceal tho
fact that the conference relates to
the veto question.
