Winston Churchill is one of those who favorthe admission of live Canadian cattle. He has `lled many roles in the Cabinet of late, and there are some observers who believe that he is destined to `become the leader of the Coalition party which now follows Lloyd George. That seenis to be looking some distanoef ahead in view of the new grip `which the Premier seems to have taken on the party and the country after a series of crises `which would have C beaten a. weaker man or government. A compromise is said to have been`,reach- A ed between the opposing factions in the -British Cabinet on the subject of the House of Lords reform problem, agreement hav- ing been reached, {according to reports, whereby gr\eater,powers will be granted to the Upper" House, but the vote imposed after Lloyd George's famous Bampaign 01 1910 will remain.
