vENAL BRITISH
 TITLES AROUSE
 LABOR LEADER
Sale of Title of Honor Caus- ing Excitement Among
 British People.

LONDON, Aug 5.-Jamos Ramsey Macdonald, member of Parliament for Leicester and former chairman of the Labor party, has some original ideas as to how the party should deal with the 'asle of honors,' question that has been much discussed of late.
 When the Labor Party comes into office he writes. "one of the very first spare days that falls to its lot should be devoted to the set ting up of a committee with full powers to send for papers and per sons to ascertain how much recent recipients of 'honors' have paid for their titles, and who pocketed the money.
 q should deprive no man of his title once he had bought it. But the public ought to know how much he gave for it. and that can be ascer- tained by committee of the House of Commons endowed with the pow CTS of court Every peer created within the last 20 years should be asked to send under oath a state ment of his peerage transactions, and, if information is suppressed or falsified. he should be prosecuted for perjury.
 "No one who has bought peerage should be allowed to vote in the House of Lords, and should not be eligible for election to any recon structed Second Chamber. All those who have bought their way into the Privy Council should be dismissed at once. and that body should be purified again"
