When he could be heard, Asqulth said If the veto bill did not pass, that the lords and liberals would ask King George to create enough liberal lords to pass It. Then he sat down. Rill The mangled bill, mutilated Mutilated. remains of the Veto beyond possibility of recognition by the peers whose powers It is designed to curtail, was pre sented to the House of Commons to day.

I Extremists among the Tories have been demanding that the fight be te 'a finish and that, rather than sur I render and pass the original Vete jbill. the Lords should force Premier lAsquith to carry out his threat of the creation of new peers in sufficient number to pass the bill.

Mr. Balfour asserts that to force Asquith's ! band would mean that the Liberal! would gain a majority In the House 01" Lords and would thus be able te pass any radical legislation without difficulty.
