Rouse of Lords is on its way out as a lawmaking body after some 700 years. Winston Churchill, whose kin folk have been sitting, there since 1603, is helping along its dissolu tion. The prime minister pushed the time-encrusted institution closer to what' many consider its Inevitable end by the appointment of the Marquess of Salisbury as Conserva tive leader of the, upper house. Lord Salisbury has been one of the key figures in discussions look ing toward the final legislative fade-out of the descendants of the bold barons who extorted the Mag na Charta from King John in 1215 and opened the way to representa tive government. . For several years now there has been wide agreement among all parties on the end of the heredi tary principle. They do not feel I that because some knight in armor battered down the king's enemies In ye olde days, his descendants for all time have the right to make laws for the rest of the people. In Its piece, all parties seem to agree that there should be a cham ber of elder statesmen and women chosen for personal distinction and public service and known as the Lords of Parliament. LESS COLORFUL That would be less colorful than the present House of Lords whose members sometimes wear robes of scarlet and ermine and coronets but it rpight be more efficient. Many bearers of great ar>d ar , cient names seem reluctant to ' leave their ivy-covered castles and t moated fastnesses for the noise of . Westminster. present Lords has never been well attended except in , dire emergencies. A good number of these “back , woodsmen" as they are called, have I scarcely raised a voice against pro posals to dissolve the House of Lords, even those whose family roots go back to 1235. when the idea of a council to advise the king beean to take definite shape. The big obstacles to reform of Lords are these: the Socialists claim Churchill's method of chang ing membership qualifications would pack it, as President Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court, and future labor goverhments would find it difficult to pass legislation. NOT TO BE ELECTIVE The Tories want, in addition to the elder statesmen, membership for certain members of the royal family, certain high churchmen and legal officers of the crown. The Socialists also want guar antees the new house wont have a permanent one-party majority. The present Lords is overwhelming ly Conservative. All parties are generally agreed that tiie new house will not be aft elected body, since it is to be com plementary to Commons, not its rival. They also think there ought to be some sort of play so not only the rich could accept appoint ment. The body’s duties will be to debate and revise legislation sent it by Commons. Women peers are already eligible to sit In Lords, by a vote a couple of years ago, but none has taken advantage of the privilege because reform is considered only a matter of time. One of those who voted against the women, however, was Viscount St. Davids. He pointed out plain tively that both his mother and aunt would be sitting with him if women were admitted.
