London, July 1s.-There is much Gu
riesity on the part of politicians over
the cabinets list of potential peers
That list has been made and is
awaiting the possibility OF its own use
in the event that this Is necessary TO
obtain the passage OF the veto Dill IN
the House of Lords. there is no doubt
The governments spokesman nave
said repeatedly within the past week
that Premier Asquith was prepared 10
meet all contingencies of the SITUATION
in all details. which is taken to mean
that he has hidden up his sleeve two
leading sources OF supply. these being
the eldest sons of the present Liberal
peers. and members of Parliament.
The proposal to ennoble the eldest
sons presents an amusing phase OF the
revolution. Peers of baronial rank
think that if their sons are ennobled
they themselves should be promoted
to be Yiscounts, where their sons are
made barons. Some of The more premi-
nent members of Parliament who are
not averse to joining the nobility
cherish the conviction that if host
of barons are to be poured into the
upper House. of which large proper
ton must be commonplace persons.
they are entitled to receive the higher
distinction of viseountships.
Drawing on the House of Commons for
new lords presents difficulties If 100 or
more members of the lower chamber are
taken, miniature election will be neces-
sary to fill their places and the country
and the politicians are alike tired to
death of elections with the consequent
turmoil. expense and disturbance TO bus
mess. Moreover. the government cannot
afford TO risk taking members of Parlia-
ment except from safe Liberal constitu-
encies.
The exact social status of the new
peers, if Matched, is the subject of no
little speculation. The Conservatives pro-
fess to believe that they will be looked
upon with amusement and contempt. One
writer says that American heiPesses are
far too shrewd to find such quasi-noble-
men objects of their ambition. Another
suggests the addition of the title of count
TO the British peerage for the purpose of
AsQuith's peers. in order to distinguish
them from the regular lords as noblemen
erected for special political purpose.
