DOUBLE CABINET PROPOSAL
TO COME UP IN BRITAIN

Not Agree to Plan, but System
Will BE. Changed.

LONDON. June 1.-THE question Of
establishing a second Cabinet in Great
Britain to deal with purely domestic af-
fairs and relieve the War Cabinet OF the
pressure OF that work will be brought up
before both houses OF parliament next
week. The subject has been discussed
In the press recently and 1t has been
rumored that the government had de-
cided on two Cabinets. one domestic and
the other war.
According to the Times. however. the
present War Cabinet Is not likely to
agree to any such definite division OF
the functions OF government. although
1t Is understood that some changes in
the present machinery are planned
The Times says that questions OF pure
" domestic interest will be decided in
the future by a committee or cemmit-
tees OF ministers TO which the powers of
the War Cabinet will be delegated to
this extent.
