The stresses OF war have not been
allowed to stop all British internal
reform programs Those dealing with
fiscal matters. affecting taxation or
requiring taxation, have necessarily
been postponed but others, like the
"mending or ending of the House of
Lords. are being considered and dis
cussed without perhaps. attracting
anything like the attention they would
receive in times OF peace. The con-
mittee. headed by Lord Bryce. former
ambassador al Washington, which
has been deliberating on the reform
of the house of peers has just made
a report. While the recommendation
are. for England. a long step toward
democratizing the upper chamber. the
hereditary principle will stil loom
large. The gain is the restriction Of
life membership TO those peers who
are to be chosen by members of the
House OF Commons according to geo
graphical distribution. or election by
a joint committee representing both
houses. for term Of l2 years. Tat
introduction of the selectiye principle
as basis fer membership in the
