In both fights the Peers won. Last summer they insisted that the speed limit in built-up areas should apply by nigh: as well as by day.

That was contrary to the wish of Mr. Stanley and the House of

Commons.

In 1932 the "House of Lords amended the Children's Bill so as to allow boys under fourteen to be birched at police courts.

The House of Commons rejected

but the amendment,

the Peers stood firm. Finally the Commona had to give way.

Time is on the side of the Lords in these fights. If the Commons do not give way. the whole Bill diles.

DRASTIC ACTION

To Save The Guilder

(Special Air Mail Services

London, July 29. Fresh tears as to the stability of the gold bloc were revived yesterday following the crisis over the Dutch guilder,

Renewed withdrawals of funds from Amsterdam: amounting, it is believed, to £7,000,000, were coun tered by a rise in the Netherlands bank rate from 3 to 5 per cent.

This is the first time for 100 years that the rate has been in- creased by 3 per cent, and the second time in seven weeks It has reached 5 per cent

The step was taken to check foreign speculation and to stem the outflow of gold,

Financial circles were discuss- ⚫ing the probable effect of the from defection of the guilder the gold group. It was accepted that Switzerland would be shaken and that impetus would be given the devaluation cam- paign in France.
