PREBIIIZICS STATEMENT

The House of Commons bot-h on the floor and in the gall-trio", was

crowded nftrr question time this afternoon in nutcycvioii of Mr. Baldwin's slniniiciii. The Prime

Ziiinisier was loudly cheered both before and nflc-r ifs declaration. His slntcmrnt follows:

“I am glad to have occavicn to

make n _lll‘2l‘l91' statement on the Cnlfneljs itosifion. In considering this whole matter it has always been 1 and remains lho earliest desire of; the Government to afford His lviaj- l

“In view of czrteln stticmcnts which have born made aboui the rrlniions lzctxtrn the Government and lhc Kin" I should add that with tho exception ni‘ tho question of morgannfic marriage. no ndvloe has been tendered by the Govern- ment to Hi: Majesty, with whom all my cnnvciwntoiis have been

KING RAIF-ED QUESTION

"These mnters were not raised (iovcrumcnt but by His Ma- ty liintself in conversation with me some weeks. ago when he first informed me of his intention to marry Nlrs. Smpson whenever she shoukl be frrc. The subject has therefore been for some time in the King's mind, and rm soon a"; His Majesty has arrived a; the conclu- slcn as to the ccuxsn. he desires to take he will no Clffl t oonmuni- can: it to rho Gnvrrnmcnt in this country and the Damlnions.

" I think evtrycne will agree with the sentimens expressed by the Right Honorable Gentleman," Maj- or Attlec said. “May I ask if one can assume from this st tement that His Majesty has not come to a. conclusion on (h: advice submit- ted to him on the subject of the morgnnnlic mariiage m-cposal?

"If that is so, it is difficult to .press l-he Right Honorable gentle- men for flutter information at the present time. I sh'ti'd like, how- ever, to ask him to bear in mind, as I am sure he docs, the". the House and country are deepy anx- ious to receive (he flll35l, lnfomia- tion (is soon as 1iossilfe. as without ‘that it is quite i":poss"'l' to have

for." ‘EXPRESSES GRATITUDE

"I am obliged to the Rig t Hon- orable Gcntlezizfn for lhc pcfnt he has‘ put." the Prime Mini tr re- plied. "I was unaixare he was go- lng (o put it. I Elm gratjiil to him and quitc tjre? with every word. I shal. o only too glad at the suitable moment lo giv.» the; WllOlE informal/on to the House’ when I am able to.

“While I nni nlwas willing to answer. as the House lax-en's, sup- plementary qucs ions, I hrye the House will agree with me that a‘. this momcnt, in a siiitallcxi llmt 1'; so grave and anxow, and while the King is considering these mat- ters nnd has not made up his mind. I feel great dlfficul y in offering information and in nnsvrering sup- plementary questions cs-jiccialfy considering that the nnsicrs I should give would be improvised."

CHURCHILL INTERRUPTED

Winston Churchill, as 1e hi5 done cn the pruious (l ys the mut- ter urs raisrd. nliemptrd lo obtain rwsurance from the Priire 1mm ter that no "irrevocable stop" would b: taken without the House first hw- ing been informrd. Ho was inter- rupied by shouts of "sit down." "shame," and also cheers.

“May I ask", hesaldfllhatnoir- revocable step will be takcn before the House has rccclvcd a full stitc- mcnt, not only on the per=onn1 but also on the constllutionrl issues in- volved. May I ask the Right Hon- orable Gentleman to brar in mind that this issue affects not only the personal occupant of the Turone At this point his remarks were 10st in the shouts of disaent. "Speech, speech," members shout- ed, apparently feeling Churchill, in-

stead of asking a question. was making a. speech. The Speaker remarked: "II the

Right Honorable Gentleman "will only put a simple question." Church-

Anglo-wrench luncheon, declared: “I have known His Majesty sinoe he was a child. I can tell you that you may be perfectly sure that ncvcr, ciiher in letter or spirit, will he be found to not contrary to the British constitution. This is n. moment when the sympathies of every man and womzm—n:>t only in England but I believe throughout the friendly notions cf Europe—-wi1l go out to a Sovereign who is now ,undcr the most grlcvous slresses- both public and private."

Another of the King's champions, y Major Josiah Wedgwood. Labor, ‘ causcd a stir in the House prior to 111/Ir. Baldwin's statement w.en he rote and awkzd that parliament re- nffrm its ails-glam: to t‘"e King "no matter what haw ens." His ro- qucst was no: allowed.

A rtatcmcnt sizrfar to the Prime Minister's was made in the Ho s: of Lords by Viscount Halifax, Lard , Pflly Seal. Expressions of apprvv- i n1 wrrc made by Lord Sne‘1 and the lMai-qizcss of Crewe, , respective

lenders o! the Labor and Liberal Opposition. "

Lord Crowe declared he felt sure "your Inrdshps will all be satisfied to know that the state- merts which appeared in some ir- rcsrcnsible quarters that His Maj- esty n Government had applied un- due przsurc on His Majesy to de- cln Hs decision in this matter are n! _v :21" without foundation".

MAKES PLEA

In Australia, Premier B. S. B. Stevens of New Smith Wales added his plea to (lint of the wartime Prime Minislcr, Wlllkm Morris Hughes, in urging the King not be asked to decide “without a period of peaceful refiecllon and contem- plntlon."

"Of all the millions that this Monarch might have loved," Stev- ens declared, "It is unspeaknhly hard that she whcm fate sent him could never wear the crown and that only in homerlo self-sacrifice -—a. victory of surrender-can he re- tnin the Throne. Let us ask him to make this sacrifice only in the deepest afiection and humble loyal- w»

At Ottawa, Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King said he thought it was "best to say nothing."

“In view of Mr. Baldwin's state- ments in the House of Commons I think the country will appreciate the attitude oi’ reticenca and re- serve that has been adopted by the Government of Canada."

Canada. Commended

The Canadian Government's stand. as well as the attitude o! Canadian newspapers, was com- mended by the Times.

"The Canadian people more than

In? other in the Empire,“ the newspaper said, "have been exp“- ed for many months to a. flood of scandalous suggestion pouring across the American frontier. De- spite this severe provocation, their own press has shown the same honorable reluctance as the rest of “l9 Emhlra in drag down the King's private life into the dust or controversy until this last week, when events outside their control made publicity unavoidable, ' "With no less self-suppresslo, their Government has been coili- tcnt to express no opinion until at H18 Mfliestys own instance they were consulted."

It was learned here that the contingency of the King's abdlca. tion has been studied in all its as. Pects. A draft deed of abdication, it is stated, already has been pre- pared. Legislation consequential to abdication has been considergd,

In this connection, Professor Berriedale Keith, regius professor- of Sanskrit and comparative phil- 0108f’ all Edinburgh University, claims to have discovered that under the Statute of Westminster "any alteration in the succession (to the Throne) enacted by the Imperial Parliament would as a matter of strict law have autom- atic effect in the Domlnions with- out the necessity of any assent by their parliaments."

The statute, he says, indeed pro- vided for the assent of the Dom. lnlons in the case of any change in the succession, "‘but this re- quirement is only placed in the preamble to the Act-it was delib- erately decided not to give it the force of law."

"It is clear therefore in law that the British Parliament could alter the succession for the whole Em- pire without the assent of the Do- minion parliaments." Keith added. "But constitutionally it would cloatrly be bound w ask such aa- "n _,,
