IbImU Dteattea llrtena at Hi Likely London With Premier Asquith on the continent and Chancellor Lloyd-Georga closely following him tha politicians arc all resting on their arms discussing what fines of battle will ba taken up In the naxt parliament The moral generally drawn from tha elections is that the' country docs not want radical changes in the house of lords or in the government policies The spirit of conciliation therefore Is abroad and schemes for a compromise are being debated Tha Conservative papers propose tha most Interesting plan that a Joint cabinet bo chosen from tha most moderate msnsof both parties to carry on tha government for about two years and that a truce bo declared on party questions In the meantime A royal commission to Investigate the fiscal policy and to make recommendations regarding tariff reform la pso posed Lord Rose berry's name la put forward for tha In the compromise 1 cabinet but Hose berry has for a long time refused office and his popularity now Is at a low mark because of his course on the budget sue One Thlag reS The reform of the bouse of lords seems to bo the one thing assured Both parties support It Both the Conservatives and the lords themselves are willing to adopt moderate changes Immediately lest reforma which would knock tho foundations from the upper house bo carried -The result Is likely to ba tha abolition of the hereditary principle and no longer shall 'the second and suus-ceedlng generations bo given a Vote except those who shall prove their fit neea to legislate by service In the house of commons In civil office or In tho army or The Liberals want to deprive the house of torts of the power to veto any Mir whatsoever favorite plan would be to compel the lords to adopt any bill sent to them for the third time by the house of commons which while making the house' of commons consider a rejected bin carefully would give It tho power to pasq any legislation on which 4t had determine In one session- WUl Pus Badge It Is taken for granted that the house of lords will pass tho budget since the country has decided -against tha lords on the face of the election return but tha cabinet may ba obliged to erase tha whiskey taxes In order to get the voted of tho lrl members Beyond tho reform of the house of lords and tha passing of the parliament la not likely to get far with anything Tho Irish members probably will obtain tha Introduction of a home rule measure but the Conservatives will oppose that solidly and a number of Liberate are pledged against home rule also Several cabinet changes are
