BARTERINC OF
 BRITISH TITLES
 IS ALLEGATION

LONDON, July 1 Correspondence of the Associated Press). The tender spot in British political life today is the dispensation of titles. These are awarded, of course, by the king, but on the nomination of the prime min ister, and the criticism of reformers is that titles have been given for a long time and by various prime minis. ters for purely party service, and that they were practically bought by con, tributiOns to party funds.
 The house of lords has a peculiar interest in this matter, because the old noble families are jealous of hav- ing their maste lower by the addi- tion of the newly rich, d lpureIy rich, to the orders of nobility.
 The question was threshed out last year, and there was a general under standing that hereafter when honors were announced the reason for their bestowal should be published. This has been done in form, but, it is al legged, not in substance, because sev- eral much criticized honors in the last list were described as flor public serv- ices," which might mean almost any thing.
 The new National party, which has a few members in the house of com mons, has taken up the question. The chairman, General Page Croft, has written to the newspapers proposing t0 prove before any judicial commit tee that since 1910 one member of parliament has rejected an offet O a title in return for a cash payment to party funds, and that the father of a member of the house of commons was offered baronetcy for 925,0O0.
 He charged also that a member of parliament who was created a peer after the beginning of the war suh- scrlbed shortly afterward a very large sum of money to a newspaper that supports the premier.
 He mentions also instances in which he says titles were granted to a poli- tician of so notorious a character as to be regarded as unfit to be a candi- date for parliament, to another poIi- tician regarded as interruptions, and to third man previously involved in a notorious social scandal"
 General Page Croft offered to prove all his charges
