LONDON, July H.-There was a bitter
fight in the House of Commons today fol-
lowed by street demonstrations. when Pre-
mier Asqulth moved the second reading Of
the kings accession declaration bill The
nonconformists forced an amendment that
united the ultra churchmen and anti-Cath-
Ollie elements in opposition. 1t is expected
the vote will be close
The bill provided that the declaration be
so changed that the doctrine of the Roman
Catholic church is not singled out for re-
pudiatlon. In place of the words offensive
to the Catholics the bill substituted the
clause: And declare that 1 am faithful
member of the Protestant church as by
law established in England"
The nonconformists objected to the quail
fication "as by law established and
pledged themselves to vote against the
government unless these four words were
eliminated.
The revolt was successful today and thu

cepted the nonconformist amendment sub
