the king nor the cabinet has yield
ed, and to date Edward has shown
no intention of Indicating.
Having learned all about the Simp-
son affair when the British press
dropped its self-imposed silence, the
British public took hold of it with
excitement and enthusiasm. Crowds
paraded in London, carrying ban
ners with such inscriptions as "God
Save the King From Baldwin. I"
They booed cabinet members and
the archbishop of Canterbury, who
was steadfast against the mar
riage, and surged about Bucking-
ham palace in great throngs.

"Mrs. Simpson, throughout the
last few weeks, has invariably
wished to avoid any action or pro-
posal which might hurt or damage
his majesty or the throne.
'Today her attitude is unchanged
and she is willing, if such action
will solve the problem, to with
draw forthwith from situation that
has become both unhappy and UNI
tenable."
This offer to abandon her ro-
nance was transmitted to London
and all the world awaited the re-
spouse of the king, in his seclusion
at Fort Belvedere. Unhappiness
is the fate of both Edward and
"Wally", whatever the decision
may be. If the king relinquishes
the woman and retains the throne,
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
and the cabinet, together with the
aristocratic caste, will have scored
a victory, but the contest between
the new and the old will certainly
be renewed in other form.
At the time when Mrs. Simpson
gave out her statement, it appeared
that the king had scored a point.
Mr.. Baldwin, having failed sig
nally to induce the monarch to
abandon his determination to wed
Wally, gave in to the extent of side
tracking the abdication issue and
giving King Edward ample time
to come to a final determination.
He told the house of commons this
and related the whole story of the
controversy which, he said, was
precipitated by the king himself
when he informed the prime min
lister of ''his intention to marry
Mrs. Simpson whenever she should
be free" Mr.. Baldwin said the king
twill no doubt" communicate his
decision in good time "to the gov
eminent in this country and the
dominions." He added: SIT will then
be for those governments to de-
eide what advice, if any, they would
feel it their duty to tender him"
Replying to a warning from Win
SION Cnuccnlll mat the government
must not try to "extort'' abdica-
ton from the king, Mr.. Baldwin
said: "It has always been, and re-
mains, the earnest desire of the
government to afford his majesty
the fullest opportunity of weighing
the decision which involves so di-
rectly his own future happiness and
the welfare of all his subjects"
But, he added, both the govern
ment and the king were aware that
considerable prolongation of the
present state of suspense and un-
certainty would involve the risk of
gravest injury to national and inn
perial interests"
In what the prime minister said
it was made evident the king never

Shrader's Appeal to Presi.
dent Fails to Bring Order
to Halt Action.

With no counter instructions re-
celved from President Roosevelt, the
Home Owners Loan Corp. planned to
60 ahead this afternoon with its fore
closure sale of residential property
owned by Andrew o. Shrader at $500
Thirty-third street. Shrader yesterday
appealed by radiogram to the Presi-
dent to intercede in his behalf.
This morning the corporation, after
review of the case, issued a state.
ment charging that Shrader had
shown no attitude of cooperation, that
he had refused to rent the property
and that their obligation to the tax
condition to continue.
Appraising the property at $4,000
to $4,000, the corporation granted q
loan of $13,918 to Shrader in June
1884. An engineer and builder, Shrader
suffered during the depression and was
unable to begin repaments promptly
Next, he suffered a serious accident
and was hospitalized for a long period
Recently he obtained a position with
the P. w. A.. but has not yet received
a salary check.
S2,641 Now Due.
The overdue payments with inter-
est now. amount to s2,641. plus about
s608 in taxes, the corporation dis
closed. The corporation statement to-
day follows, in part:
THE corporation has never received
a single payment since the loan was
closed, nor have the taxes been paid.
The corporation was forced also to ad-
vance in cash insurance premiums
which the borrower did not pay.
Representatives of the corporation
have been very lenient and sympa-
thetic. and every effort has been made
to assist in working out the problem,
but it is felt that any attitude of CO.
operation on the part of the, borrower
was entirely lacking. The property is
located in an excellent residential sec
ton and it is believed the borrower
could have readily rented 1t for an
amount more than sufficient to meet
the contract obligations.
"The corporation has a duty to the
taxpayers which makes it impossible
to permit q continuance of such con-
ditionS."
Provision Of Redemption.
It was pointed out that the fore
closure sales contain a provision for
redemption of the property by the
owner within go days if he is able
to do so.
Asked why the corporation would
not delay the sale long enough for
Shrader to receive his first P. w. A.
salary and make q payment from it,
an official said the largest payment
possible from such income would be
insufficient in defraying such q large
delinquency.
Shrader's radiogram to President
Roosevelt follows:
Respectfully beg you to intercede
in my behalf with H. o. L. G. to
prevent forced sale of my home Mon
