BY Associated Press.
T 0NDON, July Politics have
forged TO the front again with
surprising suddenness. After
the truce during the coronation
season. the case OF the government
versus the peers seems about to reach
an acute stage.
The radical newspape asser, that

finally decided to fake drastic and final
action. If the lords persist In mutllat-
ing the veto bills with amendments.
Some of the radical writers claim
cahineI authority for asserting that the
government { plan is 10 announce that
the cabinet as decided to call on the
hing To cr $50 new peers unless
the lords accept the veto bill The Oh
iect of this announcement would he to
call a halt on the lords before they
plunge deeper into opposition.
That the cabinet has decided upon
IT'S plan of action appears undoubted
but whether il shows its hand as soon
as the most ardent liberals predict is
questionable. 1t is possible the cabi.
net will give the lords time TO send the
bill to the house and then reject the
amendments en- bloc by one vote, de-
care It's plans ana perhaps give the
house of commons an opportunity to
vote on the question OF asking the
king TO use his prerogative to create
liberal peers.
From conservative sources comes a
different version Of the cabinet S plans
The Globe claims the highest authority
for saying that the government will
ask the king to dissolve parliament.
The conservative whip. Arthur Steele
Maitland, also said that the govern
ment proposed to have another election
in which the home rule question would
figure.
The Spectator. the organ of the most
extreme conservatives, says the conser
vatlve members of the house of com.
mons privately admit that the liberals
would gain an increased majority if
another election was held and that
home rule therefore would be certain.
