Show r r 1 1 TUAB CONGRESS ADOPTS HOUSE ACCEPTS THE BUILDING PROGRAM PROPOSED BY THE SENATE. london. The decision of the cabi net that the undertaking of new fran chise and registration refornm In the midst of a great war was too complex and controversial a problem was an nounced by Premier Asquith In t he house of .commons on Monday. At a time, said the premier, when the war had reached a happy, promising stage and when It .mure than ever required the a Inula Le .concentration of the government, li na .Impossible to consider the large questions involved in a revision of tbe Jjrttiic.hlne. He further Implied that any new bill for franchise reform iu the future must of necessity include women. After a brief criticism by Sir Ed ward Carson, who jirged that every combatant, Irrespective of age, was entitled to vote and unintended there was no reason why the women's claims should staud In the way of giving ail combatants a vote, the houxe passed the first reading of the bill extending the life ot the present parliament for eight months. A separate bill bringing into force a tew register cn the basis of present quullllca-Honon May 21 next will be introduced In the house. There is no duubt that one f the main reasons for the government's avoidance of the franchise problem waa the threat of the women that they would refuse to recognize any change In the franchise In favor of fighting men which failed at the same (line to recognize women' rights to the franchise.
