200, 900 metric tons during this crop
year-before next June 80. The In
ternational Food Conference has
allocated them $4,000 tons, includ-
ing the $4,000 scheduled by us for
the 16 nations and around twice
that much which our Army plans to
ship to Germany. The deficit is
therefore 10000 tons.
Actually, the deficit is 100, 900 tons
for. surprisingly enough, some OF the
16 nations export 10000 tons OF
fertilizers to nations outside the
group-to Eastern Europe. North
Africa and Asia. The exporting
nations, the United Kingdom, Nor
way and Belgium, produce more
than they consume so they ship the
balance where the return in food
and other products is greatest and
this happens to be outside the 16-
nation area.
The nations which need fertilizer
most-Italy, France. Greece and
Turkey-are far from self-sufiicient
and their yield of cereal grains per
acre is very low.
We cannot possibly supply the
10000 deficit forseen by the Paris
report but the Hartman group Is
thinking" out loud that we should
supply $4,000 tons Of it. If we could
ship the entire 10000 tons, Europe
could grow around $1,000, 900 more
bushels Of grain

House of Lords Center of Controversy
Labor Plans Introduce Amendment Parliament Act Proven
PeersF From Delaying Passage of FromCo

I'm general, the Lords must limit the use OF their
powers of delay Sir Arthur explains ito give an
opportunity to find out whether there really popular
support for given measure. Debates In the Lords
are often high level and very useful sound
ing board for public opinion"
Members Not Elected
Pointing out the difference in pace" between the
two houses, Sir Arthur says: Commons members
attend In great numbers, and there Is usually too
little time for all who want to speak to do In the
Lords, those present consist largely OF men with
special interest and experience.
"All who really have something to say usually
have the opportunity to say it, and many of them
speak with less regard to party considerations and
party discipline"
The House of Lords is nonelected hereditary
chamber. Altogether 1t has Sl9 sitting members COM
posed of the following classes: (D The Lords spiritual
the Archibishops of Canterbury and York and Ger
tain bishops number sitting of right, and others
by seniority; (2) the Lords temporal holding hered
tary peerages 90 sixteen representative Peers for
Scotland elected and sitting only during the term OF
each particular Parliament "a eight representative
Peers for Ireland elected and sitting for life; (5)
those who are or have been Lords of appeal in ord
nary" and are Lords of Parliament for life.
Not Many Attend
The majority of the Lords temporal have not
derived their title to sit in the house through long
line of descent More than half Of the present
bership have been created Peers since 1902
Although the House of Lords has a larger
membership than the House of Commons the normal
attendance mark, even on the most important occa-
sions rarely exceeds 120 Most often is somewhere
around 10.
Altogether s45 Peers are qualified to attend ses-
sons of the present House of Lords OF these, how
ever 26 are minor vscounts and cannot attend until
of age This leaves the total membership of s19 The
largest groups in this number are 51s barons, 1872
earls, 50 viscounts Excluding the minors and "a
bishops.
Since the work of the Lords is nothing like so
heavy as that Of the Commons they have leisure for
full and free discussions Of important questions.
The Lords Is also useful house In which to
originate noncontroversial legislation.
BY convention, number Of ministers must be
members of the House of Lords. But there Is hard
and fast ruleswhich member Of the government must
be In the Lords and which In the Commons, and 1t
varies from time to time

Proposed overhauling Of Britans House of Lords
has stirred political controversy in London that has
furor caused in Washington by the late President
Roosevelts suggestion for reconstrucng the Supreme
Court.
First public announcement of the British Labor
governments plan recently in the Kings speech
to the session of Parliament In which he disclosed
that Legislation will be introduced to amend the Par
lament Act of 1911"
How They Line Up
This legislation, expected to be introduced some
time before Christmas, would seek to draw up closer
deadline for the House of Lords in delaying the
passage of bills sent up from the House Of Commons
Labor supporters in Britain hold that the 1911 act
which prevents the Peers from obstructing money
bills of any kind, intended the first series OF
reforms of the upper house, which they think Is now
due for another overhaul.
Party strength in the two houses differs consider
ably In the elected House of Commons, 1t is Labor
394; Conservative, 100; Liberal, O. In the hereditary
House of Lords it is: Conservative, 414 Liberal IS;
Labor A. Figures for the House of Lords incom-
plete as many members have not publicly declared
their party afiliaton.
'The rights and powers of the House of Lords
while restricted, are still considerable, Sir Arthur
salte Independent M p for oxford University stated
in recent BBC broadcast.
Lords Called Safety Valve
Sir Arthur defines the purpose of the House OF
Lords sort of safetyvalve to st measures rushed
through Commons until they have been fully exam
ined from all sides. This gives public opinion, he
asserts, time to digest the ultimate value of these
measures and register approval.
The House of Lords can try to amend or reject
any bills sent up from Commons except finance
bill. When they amend, the bill goes back to the
house in its changed FORM If Commons still wants to
reject the amended version 1t do II the bill is
passed by them in three successive sessions despite
rejection by the Lords, it then becomes law on re-
ceving the royal assent period of two years must
elapse between q bills second reading In the Com
mons and It's third rejection by the Lords.
Since general election comes up every hve years
the present government has less than three years
to If the Lords reject bill submitted now
the government would still have time to press 1t
through before the next general election. But any
bill sent to the Lords in IL months time, or later
could be held up until the general election

committee of the Senate's Small

Benjamin F. Fairless of United

to distribute steel equitably to serve
the best interests of the whole coun-
try, and added:
"It is true the supply of steel Is
temporarily less than the present
demand. but the great pipelines Of
steel inventories in the many busi-
nesses OF the country are gradually

He said some demands for more
steel, like those originating in Eu-

new mills, since new plants would
require about three years to COM

of this institution told Mrs. LIEU
reux one day that many Of the girl
did not want to be turned out en-.

reached 18. The institution wa!
crowded, with no facilities to care
for girls over 10.
This was at a time when many
wartime American Army installa.
tions around Marseille were being
abandoned during rapid demobiliza
ton. Mrs. L'Heureux got three
former Army barracks put together
in the garden of the religious insti-
tuition, begged plumbing, bedding
cooking equipment, radio and q
piano from various Army units and
soon had q home for so Of the
over-ls girls. The plumbing came
from, of all things, an abandoned
Army pro" station An Army col
onel, hearing from Mrs. LHeureux
that the home" could use sewing
machine, sent her one from Ger
many. Some of the girls in this
home" do the housekeeping for all
while others work outside all day
and come back at night to the COM
munity life-keeping out of trouble
until they feel self-sufficient.
School Found Wanting
When his family first reached
Marseilles after he had been there
a few months, Mr.. LHeureux ran
into difficulty getting George into
the Jesuit school he had picked out
George spoke no French and the
school directors doubted If he would
fit In. At an interview to determine
his qualifications, he turned things
around by asking If baseball and
basket ball were played at the school
Told they weren't, he said he wasn't
interested in going there then. He
finally agreed to attend the school
on condition that he be permitted
to organize sports activities, which
he did.
Such things as the LHeureuX
family did in Marseille to make
friends for themselves and build
prestige for the United States are
as much part of adequately rep
resenting America abroad as the
paper work Mr.. L'Heureux per-
formed in the consulate general.
Marseille was his first post as
chief of his own Office. Since break
ing into the career Foreign Service
in 1880 he had worked under other
men in consular offices in Canada,
Germany, Belgium and Portugal.
From March, 1943, until his assign
ment to Marseille in late 1914 he

giers, attached to Allied force head.
quarters. Largely because Of his
work there he received a double
promotion in 1945, jumping from
class to class 8 in the Foreign
Service. Another promotion this
year brought him near the top Of
the career service, to class 2.
Law Makes Job Difficult
His reputation for efficient han
ding of tough problems, plus ex-
perience as assistant chief Of the
visa division in 1912, resulted In
his assignment as chief of that divi-
sion last month. That job is COM
plicated now by efforts to do every
thing possible under our unwieldy
immigration laws to help take care
of Europe's displaced persons, as
well as by agitation for Tightening
up bars against admission of Com
munists to this country.
Mr.. L'Heureux has a background
of practical experience on Capitol
Hill that should prove of value now.
When he first came to Washington,
in 1919, he worked as an elevator
operator at the Capitol and then got
a job In the Office of the late Sena-
tor Moses of New Hampshire, work.
ing as one of his secretaries until
1927.
Born in Manchester, N. H., on
March 6, 1899, Mr.. L'Heureux en-
listed in the Army in 1917 and saw
service in France during the First
World War as a sergeant. After the
armistice, he and the late Frank
Knox, who was Secretary of the
Navy at the time of Pearl Harbor,
were designated at a caucus in Paris
as the two organizers in New Hamp-
shire of what became the American
Legion. They were among New
Hampshire's delegation to the st.
Louis convention that perfected or
ganization of the Legion.
While working for Senator Moses
here. /Mr. L'Heureux attended
George Washington University and
was graduated in 1925. He turned
to the Foreign Service in 1927, get
ting job as a clerk in the consulate
at Windsor, Ontario. Three years
later he passed the necessary ex-
aminations and was commissioned
in the career service.
In the meantime, he had met and
married a washington girl, jeanette
Blum, who in time became about as
much part Of the Foreign Service
as her husband.

city to the Sacred Heart Of Jesus
and offered special prayers that the
city be spared. In commemoration
of that event, every year, on the day
of the Feast of the Sacred Heart
the president of the Chamber OF
Commerce presents lighted candle
at the altar. Large crowds. men
women and children, attend the
ceremony. BY tradition the city's
prominent men and their male
guests then retired for a stag
breakfast ofs coffee and buns, while
their wives waited outside.
Mr.. and Mrs. L'Heureux and their
children, devout Catholics them
selves, represented the United States
at the ceremony last year. Mr.
L'Heureux was invited to join the
men at breakfast. Politely but
firmly he said he was used to hav-
ing Sunday morning breakfasts
with his family, and would not con-
slider deserting them for this oc-
casion. The Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors had a meeting
and solemnly agreed that there
after there would be provision for
coffee and buns for their wives at
the same time.
Nearly every Sunday there was
some ceremony or other that called
the leading men of Marseille away
from home. The American Consul
General was invited to them, but
he declined all invitations for af-
fairs to which was wife was not
asked, also. AS a result, more and
more of them came to include wives
in tina invitations.
Mrs. L'Heureux Praised
This was not mere stubbornness
on Mr.. L'Heureux's part. OF neces-
sity the wives of American Foreign
Service officers play an important
role in their husbands work. And
appreciation of Mrs. L'Heureux's
effective work came ungrudgingly
from the people of Marseille after
she had been there a short time.
She spent a week on a truck dis
tributing to hospitals and schools at
Christmas time candy bars and other
supplies, some discarded by the
American Army and some contrib
uted by Army PIX customers. She
used the LHeureux family auto
mobile to transport sick people from
their homes to hospitals. Her most
substantial project was the home for
wayward girls.
