...Hamstrung since 1911 by the Parliament Act emasculating their authority (for which Liberal David Lloyd George takes chief credit) the Lords dared not hope that more power would ever again be theirs until the overwhelming Conservative landslide of last year (TIME. Nov. 9). As a result their Lordships were able to study last week a scheme for restoring the power of their house which has been whipped together by an all-Conservative "unofficial committee" chairmanned by James Edward Hubert Gascoyne-Cecil, 4th Marquess of Salisbury, Hon.

Dwindling water-borne commerce has forced the great shipping lines to lay up ships, slash services, cooperate with traditional rivals in eliminating duplicate runs. When these economies failed to shore up crumbling merchant marines, pride and profit have dictated mergers. North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American signed a 50-year pact partitioning their North Atlantic trade. In his Fascist forge Benito Mussolini hammered three big Italian firms into the Italia Line, cocky owner of the new S. S. Rex and S. S. Conte di Savoia. Roosevelt-Dollar-Dawson interests combined to take over...
