Rosen said that he had written more
than thirty policies involving amounts
Of 81 900, 900 or more, and IL was said
Of him that he had sold more life in
surance than any other agent in the
world, figured in terms Of the amount
Of money involved.

fore everything, but he found time also
10 interest himself In financial mat

LONDON, Dec. Recommending
II should be made a penal offenso 10
offer or accept money on the bestowal
Of peerRges or other honors, the Royal
Commission on Honors, in is report
published tonight, virtually conceded
the charge there has been traffic in
such matters.
1--WE did not invite those who have
been approached by touts 10 give evi-
dence, because we were already salts
fed that such approaches had been
made" the signatorics declared.
The report recommends the appoint
ment Of 2 committee Of not more than
three privy councillors, not members Of
the government. to which the names OF
all persons nominated TO receive hon
ors for political services should b0
submitted before being forwarded 20
the King.
This committee would be supplied
with full details Of the services for
which the honor was proposed, to-
gether with a statement from the party
manager that no payment or expecta.
ton Of payment to any political fund
was associated with the recommenda-
ton.
II the Premier should desire 20 sub
nit TO the King any name the com
mittee did not indorse the commission
would have the King informed of the
committees report on that name. The
commission IS emphatic in its conten-
tion the crown should be relieved OF all
responsibility for the bestowal OF hon
ors. The KinG, in conference with the
Premier, would be called on 20 decide
only the number Of honors to be con-
ferred.
In q dissenting report Arthur Hen
derson, Labor leader, contends the COM
missions recommendation are insult
cient TO prevent abuses or TO allay the
suspicion OF the public. He proposes
the complete abolition Of political hon
ors. The other members hold this 70
be outside their power. which is lin
tied 20 constructive proposals.

since been extended for a period Of
