rBy Gable 70 The Tribune
London. April 29.-The Kings influence
is beginning TO calm the troubled waters
Of politics The two front benches OF
the House OF Commons are reaching an
understanding by which the Parliament
BIZ can be carried 20 a second reading
.u the House Of Lords before the cor
cnation snd discussed in committee dur
ing July The ministers admit that they
will be satisfied with this result.
Prominent Unionist members reluc-
family concede the ultimate passage OF
ths measure without the creation Of
"ruppet peers"
Amiab bic Radicals assert that Lord
Transformers reform scheme may be sub
stituted for the preamble OF the govern
ment bill ~ opposition to the main
clauses he withdrawn, but this is hay
conjecture.
When the res1ilts OF the peers recon
struction policy are known. certainly the
House Of Lords will make vigorous at
tack upon the government bill in com
roittee stage, concentrating it's effort on
amendments for securing a minimum
majority OF considerable size in the
House Of Commons and for providing a
referendum for Home Rule. The min
's,ters. having guarantees for the crea-
4ion Of peers. are willing TO compromise
on the main clauses Of the measure; and.
indeed. the only chance of compromise
lies in the acceptance Of the House OF
IoTds's reform scheme after the rela-
lyions OF the two houses have been regu-
dated by Parliament bill.
Tire House Of Lords may be allowed 10
.ssve It's face after submitting TO
changes by which an absolute veto Oh
radical legislation is converted into a
.uspensive veto The bare suggestion OF
this method Of Cancellation sends the
Tory squires into frenzy Of passion.
Canadian Reciprocity.
The Imperial Education Conference,
which has been holding drowsy sessions
during the week. has been like an ordi-
nary English schoolmasters' conference.
The same subjects have been discussed
by the same people. and the colonial
delegates have been brilliant by flashes
Of silence.
The ministers haye beer forced 10 id
NIT that the imperial conference must
have a programme which will interest
colonial premiers vitality, especially wien
Canada is preoccupied with reciprocity
Hence the number Of imperial projects
in incubation JIG steadily increasing.
The Impe1a Council now takes the
form of a permanent committee. The
preniers are IN constant communication
with one another by cable. state owned
cables wiz also be discussed, and the
construction Of land lines across can
ada Will be favored as a necessary i'm
perial link.
The force of gravitation which is draw
ing Canada commercially toward A near
e. market IS considered 10y disappointed
tariff reformers as a serious menace to
;mperial unity. Even more alarming de-
ductious are drawn by them from the
revelations OF the census. which indicate
that Scotland and rural England are
smptying out into Canada The north
err cities have ceased to grow, and there
50 steady shrinkage Of population in
she rural sections.
Tories Blame Free Trade.
The Tories are fully convinced that
,1-ree Trade is depriving the workers of
employment and forcing them TO emf
crate 10 rhe dominions overseas. The
Ira ideals have another Interpretation OF
she ominous fact Of the depOpulation OF
4he mothcrland They assert IL is due
no the fact that the industrial classes are
Deserving Scotland England and Wales
because agrarian social reforms have
fbeen deferred until they feel that they

must find more favorable conditions in
an independent life in the free coun-
tres Of the New World.
The Prime Minister and Mr.. Balfour
sunited "a the Guildhan meeting in a
warning that Anglo American arbitra-
.Sion will rot affect Englands obligations
'to make adequate preparation for the
maintenance of her sea power. This
isdnonitiou ia emphasized to-day by the
Launching Of another gigantic armored
cruiser at Barrow. This Is the Princess
Royal. a sister ship OF the Lion, but
likely to he d faster cruiser.
This formidable vessel will be armed
with i3-ircn eighty-ton guns, eight in
four turrets. which will be able 10 pierce
