KING IS RELUCTANT
TO MAKE NEW PEERS
Monarch's Sentiments Made
Known by Lord Privy Seal in
Asquith Government.
CABINET ITSELF DIVIDED
Royal Advisers Censured by Vote
in Upper House-Commons
Advance Veto Bill by In
creased Majority.

London. Aug S.-By n vote of ~ 10
GS The House of Lords tonight carried
motion made by Lord Curzon CEN
surfing the government for having So
cured from the King a promise OF sum-
Gent peers TO pass the veto bill should
that measure be rejected by the upper
house of Parliament. The motion was
similar to that of Arthur j. Balfour'
the Opposition leader. which was lost
in the House Of Commons yesterday by
n majority of 1l9.
The Earl Of Crewe, Lord Privy Seal,
in opposing the motion, caused some
thing of "a sensation by admitting that
the members of the government were
rot all OF one mind with respect to the
creation of new peers. He said also
that King George regarded the plan
with legitimate reluctance" and that
II depended upon the action of the
House of Lords whether the govern
ment would he compelled to create new
peers.
The speeches of the Conservative
peers rang with charges that the gov
eminent had prosttuted the preroga-
tives of the crown for the purpose of
carrying Home Rule for Ireland with
out consulting the people.
The Earl Of Halsbury charged Mr..
Asauith with being guilty OF an afro
cious breach OF his trust He drew a
pathetic picture of the young and in
experienced King at the mercy OF an
astute lawyer, who told him that the
creation OF peers was the only way OF
solving the problem Of the veto bill.
Lord Haldane and Lord Loreburn
were among those who spoke on behali
OF the government. while Lord Selborne
and Lord Lansdowne supported the cen
