PLYMOUTH. England, October Co
A resolution asking the government
to proceed Immediately with the re-
form of the house of lords was
unanimously adopted yesterday at
the national unionists conference, at
which some 1900 delegates were
present.
While the party put forward no
definite plan for the proposed reform,
many ideas have been advanced pre-
viously for making the house of lords
more representative. One of these
ideas was for abolishing some of the
hereditary seats in the upper cham
ber and the election of members to
take them who represent various in
terests in the country. Many mem
bers of the unionist party are anX-
ious to get through a reform in the
upper house as quickly as possible
in order that they may have ma
terial to hold their own against the
laboriteS.
Heated debate preceded the adop-
tion of the resolution. Lady Astor
supported the motion SO candidly that
she several times was interrupted.
She declared that one of the things
the country was up against" was
that SO many members of the house
of lords thought they had a heredi-
tary right to legislate. This evok ed
loud cries of Mo- from some of the
