Londen, Dec. 1.". The Uritlsii I'nr

iteerpe J.nnsiiui, leaner el tlie J.a J.a
ner "dle-hatds." attempted te block the
proceedings, but the move proved u
weak one. It resulted merely in the
opponents of the prorogation being se
completely bowled ever by a learned and
hunioreiisl delhcrcd ruling by the
jpciiker that Mr. Lntiibury siH'edlly
submitted and even thanked the spe.ikcr
for the manner in which the latter n.id
dealt with the point.
At the outset Mr. I.ansbury asked
the Speaker whether before the King's
messenger, known as the King's Hed,
was admitted te summon the Heuse of
( ominous te the Heuse of Lords for the
prniogntien
peecli, it would be in or-
; ; d'

the I ominous dei line te rise. Tlie La La

locked the doers ngalnst the "Ulnck

T! e speaker in a long ruling, con cen
tnii.ing ninny wittv pnssnges, pointed
out tli.it, according te parliamentary
jireeedtire. the proroguing and summon
ing of the Parliament was a matter
for the Crown te deal with. He con
tended that the Commens still main
tain, all its rights and privileges, but
tb.it Mr. l.anshury's claim, reduced te
its essence, was in reality thnt the
k'lIC lts!"le! OI noting Oil tile nilVICe
of his majority, should be advised by
the miiierit . Therefore, no question

llam-ay MaeDetinld. the Laber Party
leader, asked whether before the "Hlnck
Hed" at rived some one could move an
ailjeiirnnn nt and get a vote en the
mniien. Te this the spenker replied
tint evept 'ii a special cireunistane. n
mnlieu for adjournment must come from
a Minister.
The qurt Ien of unemployment,
which has given rl'e te se much heated
debate in the Heuse of Commens, re
ceived special consideration in the
-t eeeh. The King stated that tlie Cmv
ernment would de nil in lis power te
alleviate the conditions ngalnst which
the Liiberltes have protested.
The King expressed the hope thnt
the Lausanne Conference wool ' seen
be able te solve the problems nffectir.g

Lively Discussion at Confer

Governors liern Inrneil from their (It P -
cussiens tedny te an Inspection of coal

midnight tn the first flurry of debate
which hns mnrked the sessions.
Prohibition nnd the Ku" Kltix Klnn
were the two questions which brought
n clash of views when the meeting wns
thrown open te debntc shortly before
midnight nfter an nddress by Governer
Olcott. of Oregon, in which be assailed
the Klnn ns n nntlennl mer.nce.
Governer Morrison, of North ( nro nre
Una, taking the fleer, declared he op
posed Introduction into the conference
of either the. Klnn or the prohibition
Question, which nrevieuslv had been
hreugli uii by Governer Parker, of
Louisiana, In nn nddress in which lie
declared prohibition wns almost a farce
nnd that the Klen should be curbed hy
Federal legislation. As two of the
"teughlcst" questions before the coun
try, Governer Morrison snid, he op
posed their consideiatlen nt a confer
ence which he believed should be dc dc
ve cd te nn exchange of ldens en the
administrative duties of governors.
Particularly did he object. Mr. Mor
rison said, te Governer Parker's pro
posal that the conference adept resolu

tions looking toward uniform legisla
tion of u police character. At this point
Governer Sproul, of Pennsylvania, in
terrupted te say thnt the North Carolina
Governer need have no fear of the con cen con
ferenre departing from its policy against
adopting resolutions.
Governer Morrison further declared
he disagreed with Governors Parker nnd
Olcott en their proposed methods for
fighting the Klnn, which he said could
net be legislated out of existence but
could be met effectively only by argu
ment. As te Governer Parker's assertion
thnt prohibition was net being enforced,
nnd his opinion thnt the sale of light
wine and beer should be permitted under

said be wns "astonished" at what he

of the British mission.
Washington, Dec. 1G. (By A. P.)
Although State Department officials
confirmed today the Louden announce
ment that Ambassador Harvey hnd been
called home "for consultation," they
declined te mnke any explanation ns te
the specific questions Seeretnry Hughes
desired te discuss with him.
In the absence of nn official explana
tion, the Impression gained currency
thnt Mr. Harvey had been called te
Washington in connection with the hit hit
untlen ns te (Icrmnn reparations new
threatening a rupture lstween flreat
Hrltnin and France, and te discuss
nllled debts.
Dr. Otte Wledfeldt, the German
Ambassador, conferred nt length today
with Secieiury Hughes, but no Infor
mation was avnilahle ns te whether
their conversation touched en repara
tions or took cognizance of the seri
ous economic situation in Germany re
tlectcd bv reports which have been re
ceiveil through official American trade
channels.
Tlie cull of the German envoy nt the
State Department, however, coming iust
before the usual Friday Cabinet meet
ing, was regarded as u possible ludl
catien that thu President nnd his offi
cial fa'rdlv mieht desire te have he-

Difficulty Most Acute
It hns been stated in Administration
circles here that the Washington Gov
ernment regards the reparations diffi
culty ns the "most ecute" of Furepeiui
problems today, and is anxious te afford
any aid toward settlement that it could
properly extend. In view of these offi
cial utterances tbe expectation is thnt
Ambnssnder Harvey's visit will have n
direct effect en that sttuntten.
It nppenis (ertnln that the State De
partment has seriously considered the
possibility of American participation in
some form in the proposed economic
and financial "eiiferencn nt Brussels,
which was projected by the allied
statesmen, but for which It has net
been possible te mnke definite plans
because of the bpllt ever German
reparations,
As the conference in Its original con-

ceptlen would net hnve dealt with poli
tical matters In Kurepe, American
participation might conceivably have
been possible although net en liny Imsls
that would Invelve cancellation of allied
indebtedness te the I'nlted States.
Ambassador Harvey would be the
logical channel for uny Informal ex ex
clmupe of views between the allied and
American governments during the In
terval before the Council of Premiers
reassembles nfter New Year's.
Ilancy's plan? Unknown
Whether the Ambassador will be able
te complete his consultations here nnd
return te his pest before the premier
meet ngaln is net known here, but It
is assumed thnt some means will lie
taken te make known te the l'urepeaii
statesmen nt once nny concliiusieii
