After Mrs Myron had established

The only thing that appealed to
her sense OF humor was the sudden

warning given the day before. Thora

Abdication Loosens Empire
Dominions Likely Now to See Economic Forces
Without Sentiment of Crown.

Of British finance. nothing real has
been changed.
But the way Is now open for freer
play on the part Of natural economic
and political forces-with less senti-
mental distortion. Thus the abdica-
ton Is part Of the long process by
which, the dominions have been drift
ing away from the mother country.
This reached an acute stage shortly
after the outbreak Of the war, when
dominion ENHANCEMENT in . conflict
which they had not helped to create
led to the establishment Of the I'M
perial War Council to separate diplo-
matte representation at the Peace
Conference in the League II Nations
and ct other international gather
ings. The statute Of Westminster.
passed in December, 1881. went .
little too far in giving legal expression
to this trend. for 1t was apparent
that 50 long as nations like New Zes-
land and Australia had to rely on the
British Navy for defense, they could
not in fact enjoy practical inde-
pendence.
Crowns Prestige Staggers.
Developments since 1881. however.
have modified the political chemistry
of empire sentiment. The rise Of an
aggressive Japan which the British,
entagled in Europe, are powerless to
oppose, has increased the strategic
and political dependence Of Australia,
New Zealand and Canada upon the
United States. The threat of war in
Europe, with the rise of Mussolini
and Hitler, has compelled England
to become part Of the old European
balance Of power which dragged the
empire and ourselves into the last
World War. Our big navy policy
and-whisper It not in gath'-Mr.
Hull's trade agreements policy. have
put us in the position to undertake
the responsibility Of the defense of
Canada-as part of the Monroe Doc
trine-and to consider the defense Of
the Pacific dominions as well.
Under these circumstances, with
the real bonds Of empire steadily
loosening, the symbolic bond becomes
less important. And at this moment
in history, the British cabinet and
the ex-King together have dealt
serious blow to the prestige of the
crown. The result is that the far
flung empire has been flung a little
farther-for Q small loss-and that
We move little closer to our natural
position as the center Of gravity Of
the English-speaking world.

As the consequences Of this event

To US, this will mean closer rela-

.Dissolves Link.
This threatens to scrap the post
war statute OF Westminster, under
which the British dominions had q
vested interest in the crown equal to
that Of the United Kingdom. Despite
the long distance wig-wagging be-
tween London and the dominion cap
itals and despite the fact that Mr..
Baldwin, strongly backed by his own
Parliament, was convinced that the
dominion cabinets sympathized with
his position, it is fact that the
dominion parliaments, Of which their
cabinets are merely the executive
committees, were not consulted on
this serious step. 1t should also be
noted that the British Parliament
itself was not consulted-merely faced
with an accomplished fact resulting
from Mr.. Baldwins pressure on King
Edward. without opportunity to learn
the facts Of the dispute or to consult
the will of the electorate.
The fact that forced abdication
was thus possible, on q minor issue
OF marital and constitutional correct
itude, explodes the entire legal theory
of the King Emperor who served as
the golden link in the British COM
