 "A definite indication of the action t& be taken was expected within ~ hours.
 IA visit by Baldwin to the worried kEng ct Buckingham Palace last nlgfIt: informal conferences of cab- ttet ministers; . long conference hs Baldwin with Sir John simon. ilbme secretary and leading legal expert of the cabinet, and Walter Turner Monckton. the kings own l1kMl adviser at No. 10 Downing skeet late last night brought . so- il1kiOn no nearer.
 Mast Make Up His Mind
 sBut Baldwin, at the Palace con- f6rence, was understood to have told tke king quietly and respectfully. b<t firmly that he must make up i1is mind within 48 hours. That mikes the headline for decision to- morrow evening.
 gThe situation was clear at last. King Edward has fallen deeply in loye with Mrs. Simpson, American born, twice divorced, and he wants t6 make her queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Empress oi India.
 sThe government. the church, other members of the royal family, tllc newspapers - and the British public, t h indicated -- will not agree. ...-..

Princess Elizabeth.
 Everybody Is Talking
 Not only was all Britain taking of the friendship of the king at last, wiOnderingly, aware of 1t for the first time only this morning at bkeakfast time. Not only was the ncwg blaz0ned for the first time in ssewspapers of continental Europe, hitherto silent in deference to the British people.

To one-f0urth ok the worlds people embraced in tho British empire q throne which is the symbol Of unity, which binds tho dofninions to the mother coun- tky in commonwealth Of nations, was the issue. sYegterday the story Of the kings fffnpdship broke in the newspapers ifa the form of editorials in the troyincial newspapers, reprinted here, taking only of 8 consutu- tfonaI crisis.
 Britons Know It Now
 ssI'oday Mrs. Bimpson was men toned for the frst time. and Tor tho first time in sll these months while the friendship has been common knowledge in the United gtAtes. Britons knew Of it too, and knew that their beloved king, their one time Prince Charming, the man above politics to whom the country looks as an example of all that they revere. was In & iinEh fight with his ministers. sNo king Of England or Great uritain has ever won such 4 light, tn the end Henry VII, Charles |.
