initial one. In the case Of bill like
Breton Woods, which can officially
be designated as a financial act, the
House of Commons can override the
Lords by a second act after one
month.
Theoretically, the House Of Lords
is always at the mercy of any Labor
government because the cabinet can
stuff the House of Lords with
enough political peers to win a
majority. In practice, this never
happens: first, because the House
of Lords does not force the govern
ment's hand, and, secondly, because
it would be difficult to find enough
people in the Labor Party willing
to become peers.
1t costs lot of money to live the
life OF a lord, no salary is attached
to the title and few Laborites have
big private incomes. If, in fact, the
House of Lords ever did threaten to
obstruct the work of the House of
Commons, the logical step for the
Labor Government would be to
abolish the body altogether.
The Breton Woods agreement
provides that subscribers to its
$4,000 000,0 loan fund must ratify
the compact before December 81.
However, British sources in Wash
lngton, pointed out that in view of
Mr.. Churchill's advice to his COL
leagues to do nothing to interfere
with approval of the Anglo-Amer-
lean economic agreement, they
doubted that the House of Lords
would attempt to block approval of
the compact.

bassador, and Sir Alexander Ca
dogan, British undersecretary for
foreign affairs. Earlier Mr.. Byrnes
had made courtesy call on the
Soviet foreign minister.
A Soviet spokesman said it was
probable the first formal business
session would be held on Monday.
Soviet Plane Awaited.
When Mr.. Bevin arrived in Mos
cow, officials still were awaiting a
Soviet plane from Teheran bearing
British Ambassador to Iran Sir Will
liam Reader Billiard and John D.
Jernigan, American Legation at
tache in Iran. The question of
Azerbaijan Province, where a move
ment has started seeking autonomy
within the Iranian state, is on the
Big Three agenda.
Despite his long, hard trip during
which his plane was lost in storm
for an hour, Mr.. Byrnes remained
up late last night at Spasso House,
home of American Ambassador w.
Averell Hartman, and held informal
discussions with the ambassador
and his aides.
Mr.. Byrnes spent a restful night,
however, and was up early, prepar-
ing his plans. His secretarial staff
also was busy at an early hour max
ing themselves at home in special
quarters set aside for them at
Spasso House.

sion and to vote against the agree
ment.
Ordinarily, only about so peers
show up for sessions of the House
of Lords, and since that body's vote
can always be overridden by the
House of Commons, nobody in ordi-
nary circumstances notices the diff
ference.
Both Winston Churchill, who
heads the Conservative party and
Lord Cranborne, who heads it in
the House of Lords, firmly support
the Anglo-American agreement as
something which simply must be ac-
cepted and they will use all their
influence to stymie the Beaverbrook
move.
Mr.. Churchill was deeply aroused
by the fact that II Conservative
members of the House of Commons
voted against the agreement this
week, after he had asked them to
abstain from voting Mr. Churchill
personally wanted to support the
agreement and refrained from doing
so only because his abstention
seemed more acceptable to the rank
and file.
. Time Element Vital.
1t is now believed that the Con-
servative party leadership may ask
its members to vote in favor of the
agreement in the House of Lords if
Lord Beaverbrook move shows
signs of being really dangerous.
In the case of ordinary legislation,
it takes three votes of the House of
Commons to override the House of
Lords and the final vote cannot oc-
cur less than two years from the

MOSCOW, Dec. 15.-Foreign
Commissar Vyacheslav M. Molo-
tov met individually today with
Secretary of State Byrnes and
with British Foreign Minister
Ernest Bevin, and indications
tonight were that the three
Foreign Ministers would hold the
first formal sessions of their
momentous conference on Mon
day.
Mr.. Bevin said at a press confer
ence tonight that patience is a
great thing nova more important
word than ilope-in settling inter-
national problems. 1" If things
are formalized and settled too soon.
then we may be faced with the
problem of revision"
Answering questions as to his
hopes for the meeting he said, "I
came with practical hopes-neither
high nor low"
Moscow newspapers gave the con-
ference an auspicious send-off. The
arrival of the ministers was prom
inently displayed in Izvestia, Pravda
and Red Star, indicating the i'm
portance the Russians attach to the
forthcoming talks. But the press
still refrained from editorial COM
ment on the meeting or its pros
poets.
Control Of atomic energy is the
prime subject for discussion.
Three Planes Turn Back.
The British foreign secretary ar
rived in a British plane this after
noon from Berlin, bundled up
against the bitter Russian weather
Three other planes in his party had
turned back.
Mr.. Bevin was greeted at the air.

A. j. Vishinsky and expressed
thanks for the cordial welcome.
Il bring you greetings of the peo-
pie of Great Britain and l hope that
this conference and our association
will still further strengthen the
bond of friendship between us and
help to contribute toward peace and
prosperity" Mr.. Bevin said in a.
statement.

Forming Lords Bloc
To Defeat j. ). Loan
By WILLIAM H. sTONEMAN,

BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN,

Chicago Daily News.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-A desperate
effort to kill the o-Amerlcan
loan agreement is now being or
ganized for next Monday and Tues
day, when the House OF Lords Is
scheduled to debate the subject
Led by Lord Beaverbrook, oppo-
nents of the agreement are now
hoping to swing majority OF the
upper house against the Breton
Woods agreement, approval of
which is a condition under which
the loan was granted.
If the upper house does vote
against Breton Woods, it will take
another 80 days for the House of
Commons to override the Lords, and
this means that the British govern
ment would not be able to approve
Breton Woods before December 81,
the deadline.
Equally desperate efforts will be
MADE by the government and by
other Conservatives to forestall Lord
Beaverbrook's tactics.
Plan Is Explained.
The House of Lords contains only
80 Labor peers and about 60 Liberal
peers, most or all of whom can be
expected to favor the agreement. In
addition, it has about 600 Conserva-
tive peers. and it is obviously Lord
Beaverbrook's hope to get a large
number of them to attend the ses-

LAND MAY BE GIVEN
 IN TAX PAYMENT
Industrial Properties, Inc, to Dispose of Remain=
 ing Asset Soon

Seventy-six acres of land owned by the Industrial Properties, Inc, OF WatertoWn avenue near Brook side home may be deeded to the City of Waterbury, it was indicated today in motion for instruction filed in superior court by Attorney Alfred L. Finkelstein, receiver.
 The undeveloped tract of land, which has 8 frontage on WatertoWn avenue and is adjacent to Brooks1de home and the Municipal Stadium is the last remaining asset of the receivership, and it is believed the receivership proceedings will be terminated as soon as disposition is made of that land.
 Attorney Finkelstein points out there is tax bill of about $4,OOO on the property, and that despite ef- forts to sell the land no purchaser has been found.
 City officials believe it would be to the best interest of the city to own the land, the receiver states in pointing out the matter has been discussed several times with city authorities.
 There is no reasonable probability the land can be sold for price in excess of the amount of taxes due the city, the receiver adds.
 A hearing on the rece'vcr's request for instructions will be conducted at a short calendar session of the court Friday.
