LONDON POLITICS
 ARE UNCHANGED

London, July 22.-The last 24 hours have brought small change in the po1it- ical situation. The unionists and that party's newspapers have joined in hot denunciation against Premier Asquith for what they term his violation of parliamentary decencies. The majority of the conservative papers in London and the provinces advise the leaders to submit to MT. Asquiths ultimatum as the lesser of two great evils. A small but important majority ex- | hort the peers to rally to Chamberlains | watchword, fight to the death." The only uncertain factor is how many lords will follow the Earl of Halsbury in the fight to death.
 The prime minister yesterday noti- fled the peers that he would not send back the veto bill from the house of commons to them unless assured they would accept it. If Lord Halsbury can- not muster enough followers to out vote the small liberal contingent in the upper house he will place the burden of the situation on Lord Lansdowne's shoulders
 Lansdowne must then induce his fol- lowers to vote for the government bill to stave off the degradation of the peer age. The general belief Is that he will do this if forced to.
 Meanwhile, interest centers in the meeting of the house of commons Mon- day when MT. Asquith is expected to make an explicit statement of his pro- gramme. It is possible that the gov ernment may move the proposition of consideration of the lords amendments | for few days to enable it to find out what the upper house will do. If the negotiations are unsatisfactory the government may announce the creation of batch of 50 new peers as an object lesson to the lords.
 | A correspondent of the Times de- clares it is an open secret that peer on his creation contributes minimum of $25 ,O00 to the( hrty funds. He points out that 100 neWpeers would give the liberal organization $2, 800, 900. which could be used to subsidize candidates and buy local papers. x
