...Majesty George V, King and Emperor, reputedly ordered conveyed to Conservative Premier Stanley Baldwin last week a very strong though private intimation that His Majesty disapproved the Cabinet's sensational proposal to "reform" the House of Lords (TIME, July 4). The reform would limit the number of peers, and thus, by implication, abolish the sovereign's present prerogative to create additional peers at pleasure.

These comrades in finance, these truly international bankers, were...

Their banks are the fiscal agents for England, France and Germany. In the U. S. the Treasury Department is the Government's money agent. In many cases and for many reasons it delegates its authority as agent to Federal Reserve banks, but those Federal Reserve banks are secondary, as it were, sub-agents of the Government. None the less Governor Strong as head of the New York Federal Reserve Bank wields financial authority...
