III.

(_In answer to the two preceding letters._)

SIR,--Professor Woollet and Dr. Hornblower are both wrong. The only

way in which a Federal Solution, such as we all desire, can be

brought about is to convert the existing House of Lords--no change

being made in its constitution--into the supreme and only

legislative assembly of the whole Empire. The House of Commons, of

course, would cease to sit, or it might take the place of the

present London County Council. This is the true plan. All others

are absurd. It is useless for people to say they do not want this.

We insist on their having it.

Yours, etc.,

JONATHAN FIREDAMP,

President of Council of the

Federal Association.
