HOUSE Of LORDS
To CHANGE
CHARTER
Baldwin Parliament Favors
Giving Upper Branch Some
Power Over Finances
BY F. A. WRAY,
International News Service.

LONDON, April 22.-Always the
subject of bitter controversies IN
British history, the House OF LORDS
constitution is to be reformed
The British cabinet, SO Lord cave
uord chancellor has announced, is
setting up a committee to see now
this reform can best be brought
about.
There are three chief points over
which opinions violently differ in
regard to the House Of Lords. Chief
of these is its hereditary character.
1t is true that new peers are con-
stantIy being created, but these in
their turn Immediately become
hereditary.
The second point is that the
House of Lords has no say what
ever in regard to finance. If bill
relating to taxation or finance is
certified by the Speaker of the
House of Commons as a money
bilI," it cannot be amended by the
Lords. They can accept 1t or re-.
ject it, but they cannot interfere
with its terms.
Parliament Act.
Then there is what is known as
the Parliament act carried by
the present Earl Of Oxford and AS
quith in 1911, after an amazingly
bitter party battle Tnis lays down
that il a bin is passed by the House
OF Commons in three consecutive
sessions, it becomes law even al
though the Lords reject it.
According to Lord Cave, who has
been speaking on behalf of the
cabinet, it is recognized that a re-
duction in the numbers of the
House of Lords would make for ef-
ficiency, and that there should be a
strong : elective element. At the
same time the present government
intends to stick TO the hereditary
principle as the chief constituent Of
the House.
In regard to financial bills, the
Baldwin cabinet does not think
that the decision as to what consti.
tutes a finance bill should be left
solely in the hands of one man.
They will advocate a small COM
mittee, equally divided in numbers
between the Lords and Commons,
to pass on these matters.
In regard to the Parliament act.
the cabinet wants this largely
amended. Tt is pointed out that
only two bills have become law
under this process: one of these
was amended, the other repealed.
Seek Adjustment.
An attempt win also be made 10
provide for the adjustment of "ob-
stinate differences between the
two houses. Whether this will be
by conferences, joint sittings. Of
referendum is left to the committee.
The Baldwin government frankly.
admits that some change must be
made to bring the House of Lords
up to date. At the same time It
does not hide its fear that should
the Labor party come into power
with big majority. then some
revolutionary things may be done

BAD EFFECT OF
B MONOTONY
Repression of Human Ener-
gy Most UnuOise.

Monotony Of work and the insid-
ious growth Of pessimistic revery un-
der conditions Of monotony are ser
ious problems Of our machine ridden"
civilization. The mental life Of man is
dynamic; an effort to achieve is es-
sentiaI. Deny this effort, or leave 1t
unguided, and there s~upervenes a
mental attitude described by the
Freudians as repression"
1t is possible, Of course, for an In
dividual to mold himself to a routine
and to compensate his failing interest
in life by taking pride in his rose
garden, house or family, Elton Mayo
writes In Harper's Magazine. But the
compensating achievement Is not al
ways so fortunate, and In any case
some degree of defeat is implied
some Of him lived, but most of him
died"
The human desire to achieve is es-
sentially social; there is a fundamen-
tai urge not merely to stand well
with ones fellows, but also to collabo-
rate with them In a social task. When
this initiative is denied and turned
aside it only rarely finds another
equally satisfactory outlet. More Of
ten than not 1t turns upon and mani
tests itself In the form Of disintegrat-
ing moods of pessimism.
There are few machine shops In
America or elsewhere which do not
run a noisy accompaniment to q ris-
ing tide Of human defeat. This Is not
necessary; rome enlightened employ
ers have demonstrated that 1t can be
avoided, but widely yer the indus
trial field the assertion remains true.
The machine shop Is a potent agency
of repression or perversion Of human
energy; that civilization d~isregards
this fact Is the great stupidity of our
time.
This is stupid because 1t Is unneces-
sary; civilization does everything to
accentuate the problem, nothing to
mitigate it. Under present conditions
Of education and social life the aver
age individual inevitably develops ir-
rationalities Of attitude, superstitions,
fears, hatreds. These minor abnor-
malities of outlook matter little IL by
a fortunate chance life offers such an
individual a happily vigorous and suf-
iciently varied occupation.
But should monotony chiefly charac-
terize his daily work his fears and
superstitions grow, his mental garden
is uncultivated and is overrun by the
poisonous weeds of unhealthful rev.
cry. It is this attitude in the mind
behind-the-scenes of the defeated
worker which gives rise to all forms
Of unrest" and to the incessant shift
Of ~"travelers' from one occupation to
another.

a setting of surprising loneliness.
There is life and progress and enter

perfect roads, tiower-lined, wind up

without observing the racial problems
which confront it's administrators.

NAVY LIEUTENANT SAVED
FROM DEATH IN TROPICS
ofVcer Is Lost During Hike on Mag
daiene Island and is Uncon-
sclous When Found.

San Diego, Cal.-Bringing reports
Of the discovery of new fruit and new
fish and a thrilling rescue story, the
mine sweeper Ortolan, bearing a
party Of American and Mexican
scientists, arrived here recently from
islands and waters off the Lower
California and west Mexican coasts.
The party is headed by DIR. @. Dallas
Hanna, curator Of the in~vertebrate
paleontology of the California AGA
DENY of Sciences. The rescue saved
the life Of Lieut.. Neil B. Musser OF
the United States navy.
Lieutenant Musser left the main
camp of the party on Magdalene
island to take a hike through the
hills. He carried water and food for
one day.
The island is only IL miles long,
but 1t is covered with a dense tropi-
cal growth and he lost his way. When
he failed to return the next day q
searching party, with five guides sup
piled by the commandant of a Mex1-
can penal colony, started out. This
party was out three days without
finding the navy officer.
On the morning of the fourth day
Doctor Hanna, with two other members
Of the expedition, set out | n a motor
launch to survey the shore line Of the
island. At GA. m. they saw a thin
wisp Of smoke curling up from some
trees. A heavy sea was running, but
DR.. Hanna volunteered to swim
ashore and investigate. Landing
safely after battling the seas for half
an hour he found Lieutenant Musser.
II thought he was dead" said
Doctor Hanna, land he would have
died in a short time If we had not
come across him.
'aThe fierce tropical sun had burned
his face and hands almost to a crisp.
We saw we had no time to spare II
we were to ave him, so we got a cod
line ashore from the launch and pulled
the unconscious man through the surf
to the boat. he suffered great hard
ships, but we expect him to recover
completely"
The party found In abundance on
one Of the islands Of the Tres Maria
group a fruit Of the size and color
Of the California olive, but much more
delicious, according to the scientists.
They were unable to identity the
fruit. They also found In the waters
OF the Revillagigedo islands fish Of
exquisite shades, said by the party
to surpass those found In Hawaiian
waters.
The Ortolan had to creep back to
San Diego, because on Cape San Luz
