ministers of the dominions, and asked
II that was his wish.
He told me that it was and said
! would do it,
"On December he asked me to see
him, and again I had intended asking
for an audience later that week be-
cause some inquiries I had thought
proper to make had not been COM
pleted.
But they had gone far enough to
show that neither in the dominions nor
here would there be any prospect Of
such legislation being accepted.
Marriage Held "Impracticable."
His majesty asked me if I could
answer his question. gave him the
reply that was afraid 1t was imprac-
ticable for those reasons, and do
want the House to realize this.
His majesty said he was not sur
prised at that answer. He took my
answer without question and he never
referred to it again.
IT want you to put yourselves in mis-
|
feelings are and to know how glad he
would have been had this been pos
sible.
There was no formal decision of
any kind until I come to the history
of yesterday, but when We finished
that conversation pointed out that
possible alternatives had been nulled
and it had really brought him into
position when he would be placed in
a grievous situation between two con-
fiicting causes in his own heart, either
complete abandonment Of the project
on which his heart was set and re-
manning as the King. or doing as he
intimated to me he was prepared to
do in the talk which I have reported,
and of going and later contracting that
marriage II possible.
I'm the last days from that date
until now that has been the struggle
in which his majesty has been en-
gagged.
I'VE had many talks, discussing the
aspect Of this limited problem. The
House must realize-alid 1t Is dificult
to realize-that his majesty Is not o
boy.
He looks so young that we all
thought of him as our prince, but he
Is q mature man with wide and great
experience of life and the world.
He always had before him three
motives which he repeated in the
course OF. conversation at all hours
and again and again-that If he went
he would 60 with dignity; that he
would not allow q situation to arise in
which he could no do that, and that
he wanted to 60 with as little disturb
ance to his ministers and his people
as possible.
He wished to 60 in such circum-
stances that the succession Of his
brother would be made with Is little
difiiculty as possible, and I may say
that any idea to him Of what might
be called q Kings party was abhor-
| rent.

LONDON, December 1o.--viscount
Halifax, lord privy seal, moving the
reply to the Kings message in the
House Of Lords, read correspondence
which passed between the cabinet and
Edward vainly seeking to change his
"irrevocable" decision.
The following letter was transmitted
to his majesty after Wednesdays
cabinet session, said Halifax:
Mr.. Baldwin, with his humble duty
to the King:
81. This morning Mr.. Baldwin re-
ported to the cabinet his interview
with your majesty yesterday, and in
formed his colleagues your majesty
then communicated to him Informally
your firm and definite intention to re-
nounce the throne.
% The cabinet received the state
ment of his majesty's intention with
profound regret and wished Mr.. Bald
win to convey to his majesty imme-
diately the unanimous feelings Of his
majestys servants.
Urge Reconsideration.
"The ministers. reluctant to believe
his majesty,s resolve Is irrevocable,
still venture to hope before his
majesty pronounces any formal de-
cision. his majesty may be pleased to
reconsider the intention which must
so deeply distress and so vitally affect
all his majesty's subjects.
"3. Mr.. Baldwin is at once COM
municating with the dominion prime
ministers for the purpose of letting
them know his majesty now has made
to him an informal intimation of his
ma ajeSty's intention"
Halifax said Edward replied:

"The King received the prime min

forming him Of the views Of the cab

His majesty has given the matter
his further consideration, but regrets
he Is unable to alter the decision"
Canterbury Sad.
The white haired Archbishop OF
Canterbury then rose and In q choked
voice said: go
This is an occasion when our
thoughts are too deep for tears and
certainly too deep for words"
The Queen mother, as I well know, u
he added. during these weeks Of ten
sion and anxiety has borne herself
with all the dignity. calmness and
courage which have given her a place
so secure in the hearts and minds OF
her people"
The Marquis of Salisbury described
the Kings abdication as q wound in
the body polite.
1T Is q disaster" he cried, "that
leaves it mutilated and torn.
when We think Of all the qualities
Of King Edward. and that he has
abandoned all these responsibilities
we can only bow our heads in sorrow.
Marquis Is Optimistic.
The Marquis of Crewe, leader Of the
liberal peers. was more optimistic.
The whole country and the whole
empire have been passing through
some dark hours, but we look TO the
coming day." he hopefully proclaimed
Halifax announced Baldwin imme-
diately would introduce legislation ir

Saturday, when the Lords. the Privy
Council, the high commissioners Of
the dominions and India, the lord
mayor and aldermen of the City OF
London will approve proclamation OF
the new King.
Unoficially, it was stated there
would be no alteration in coronation
plans or the May IL date.
BY abdication, Edward relinQuished
all his many titles, but 1t was expected
a special dukedom would be created
for him.
Whether he will await April 27-
the date Mrs Simpsons decree of
divorce from Ernest Aldrich Simpson
becomes final-to marry his betrothed
was not known. Many, however,
thought such delay likely. Their.
has been no move, as yet, to accelerate
the time of finslty, which may be
accomplished only with the assent OF
the trial court and the Kings proctor.
Lack of Demonstration.
Over London there was a marked
lack of demonstration when word OF
the abdication became known. Crowds
cheered Queen Mary when she left
the new Kings Piccadilly house at
4:31 pm, however, and police REIN
forcements were called out to keep
the people moving there.
The people obeyed the police in
structions, but refused to leave the
neighborhood, spreading into midstreet
and interfering with the congested
Hyde Park corner traffic.
A thick, gloomy fog lay over the city.
Knots of sober-faced people gather
in the inky darkness everywhere. There
were no newspaper extras as they are
known in America, but the papers in
serted abdication bulletins in their
stop press" front page. columns.
In the dominions and colonies, the
general feeling was one Of sadness that
the old King had gone; deep relief that
the crisis had passed; Joy In the new
King. 49,.
Canada Authorizes Acceptance.
Canada's cabinet passed the rest,
passing an order in council which
authorized the British government to
include Canada in the act Of abdica-
ton acceptance. The governor gen.
eral concurred.
The other dominions were ready to
act, through cabinets or Parliaments.
London's stock exchange closed firm
and its members cheered the new SOW
ereign.
At $50 pm, the Duke Of York's
motor car arrived again at Fort Bel
vedere, where Edward presumably re-
manned.

volved lady becoming Queen and
did tell his majesty once that might
be a remnant of the old Victorians
but my worst enemy could not say this
Of me-that I did not know what the
reaction of the English people would
be to any particular course of action
II told him that so far as they went
I was certain that that would be i'm
practicable"
Il cannot 60 further into the de-
tails but that was the substance, and
pointed out to him that the position
Of the Kings wife was different from
the position of the wife Of any citizen
Of the country.
1T was part of the price the King
has to pay. His wife becomes the
Queen. The Queen becomes the
Queen of the country and therefore
in the choice of the Queen the voice oi
the people must be heard.
1T is the truth expressed in those
lines which may come to the minds
Of the many Of you:
His will Is not his own, for he
himself Is subject to his birth. He
may not, as so valued persons do,
carve for himself, for on his choice
depend the safety and the health of
the whole state
And then his majesty said to me,
and I had his permission to tell you
this, that he wanted to tell me some
thing that he had long wanted to
tell me.
HE said, T am going to marry Mrs.
Simpson, and I am prepared to CO.
II said, Sir, that Is most grievous
news, and 1t Is impossible for me to
make any comment on 1t today
He told the Queen that night. He
told the Duke of York and the Duke
Of Gloucester the next day and the
Duke of Kent, who was then out Of
London, either on Wednesday or
Thursday, and for the rest of that
week 50, far as know, he was con-
sidering that point.
HE sent for me again on Wednes-
day, the 25th of November.
Meantime, the suggestion had been
made to me that q possible compro-
mise might be arranged to avoid
those two possibilities that had been
seen, first in the distance and then
approaching nearer and nearer.
"The compromise was that the King
should marry and that Parliament
should pass an act enabling the lady
to be the Kings wife without the po-
sition Of Queen"
King Urged Study Of Plan.
II saw his majesty on Wednesday.
November IS. He asked me II that
proposition had been put to me and
I said 'yes,' and he asked me what
I thought Of it.
II told him that had given 1t no
considered opinion, but II he asked
me my first reaction, 1t was that
Parliament would never pass 1t.
II said that II he desired would
examine 1t formally. He said he did
50 desire.

plans to stay here at least until after
Christmas"
Mrs. Simpson earlier talked at length
on the London telephone today.
Servants said she slept late and then
was ION the line" for some time, in
communication with London. Her
solicitor, Theodore Goddard, reached
London today. An airplane. reported
to carry his legal brief cases, left Le
Bourget this morning.
No one at the Villa Lou Wei would
say who initiated the London tele-
phone call
Eight French detectives stood guard
outside the villa. Inside were British
plain clothes men.
Curious groups collected on the ad-
jacent roads. The detectives listened
in amused silence while one old man,
wearing East Indian styled trousers
fitting close below the knee, delivered
an Grafton urging the British crown
crisis "be referred to the League Of
Nations"
Even as London buzzed with spec
ulation before the abdication, the
! twice. twice divorced Ameri.
can woman reiterated her willingness
to give him up "if 1t will solve the
problem"
Tension grew. The Riviera villa
of her hosts Mr.. and Mrs. Herman
Rogers, hummed with excitement,
marked by swift, secret movements
of visitors from London. "L'Affaire
Simpson" appeared definitely pointed
toward imminent climax
Rumors we're everywhere. One
went so far as to say that Mrs. Simp-
son already had departed-for where.
no one seemed to know. Mr. and
Mrs Rogers denied this emphatically.
So did her spokesman, Lord Brown
low.
Brownlow said, "she has not de-
parted and has no plans to depart"
Gendarmes remained on guard, at
any rate, and the men from Scotland
Yard, picked to protect Mrs. Simp-
son, we're still here.
Her lawyer, Goddard, who few from
London-a journey regarded as so pre-
carious for him that his personal ply
sician, DR.. w. Douglas Kirkwood, ac-
companied him-would not discuss the
purpose of his sudden visit.
The departure Of the lawyer and
doctor and the lawyers clerk indicated
that whatever their business may have
been, it was completed. Lord Brown
low said Mrs. Simpson had signed
no documents.
/ London reports that Mrs. Simpson
planned to request the courts to speed
action toward making her divorce de-
cree effective were authoritatively de-
MED. The divorce, obtained on
charges that Ernest Aldrich Simpson
had been unfaithful to his marriage
VOWS, does not become effective until
April 27 Of next year.
Only by "a general or special Or
der" could the divorce date be ad-
vanced; and such an order would
be made only after the trial Judge
and the kings proctor had been sat-
isfied that such action was desirable.
The Riviera seemed to sense that
an announcement would come today.
for increasing crowds appeared at
the villa early this morning.
No one outside the Rogers villa
had seen Mrs. Simpson in many
hours. Yesterday there were reports,
both affirmed and denied, that the
former Baltimore girl had slipped out
for a short motor ride.
Telephone calls to the villa last
night were answered in a woman's
voice, the speaker identifying her
self as Mrs. Rogers.
Mrs Simpson is standing right
beside me. she said; but Mrs. simp-
son herself did not come to the
phone.
