sons divorce Is not final until April;
only then could the King marry
her. And the Kings coronation does
not come until May. BY letting the
crisis arise now-or causing 1t tc
arise now. whichever is the case
all parties to the situation deprive
themselves of one Of Natures most
potent emollients. Time is the great
healer, and also. in some matters, the
great preventive. Not all the mar

December.
Crisis Could Fade.
Conceivably, when coronation time
comes. there might be no crisis at
all. Why. then. is 1t precipitated
now? The British are not q people
to get excited before excitement Is
called for. It is true that in every
decision, the time of the decision Il
as vital as the making Of it. This
Is usually interpreted as meaning that
decisions are best made when made
early. The adage is usually cited a,
a post mortem to explain disaster
the decision was not made soor
enough. But some decisions are dis
astrous because made too soon.
Whether the early precipitating ol
this British crisis came from the
King or from the prime minister
makes some difference. Mr.. Baldwin
says the King initiated it, and Mr.
Baldwin Is a man of strict candor
He says the King asked him to have
Parliament pass an act enabling the
King to marry Mrs. Simpson without
making her Queen. And Mr.. Baldwin
says he informed the King that
Parliament would not pass such an
act.
Within Rights.
On this version, the prime minister
and Parliament are wholly in the
right. It does not follow that the
King, on this one point. is in the
wrong. The King had right to make
the request he did. or any other re-
quest. But prime minister and Parlia-
ment had Q right to deny the re-
quest.
What now faces the King is what
to do in the light of the prime
minister's refusal From this point
on, it becomes easy for the King to
put himself in the wrong. Indeed
almost any course the King follows
would put him in the wrong Even
abdication would, for Parliament and
the empire have a right to expect the
King to live up to, not run away
from, the rule Of Parliament, and OF
tradition as well.
Secrets May Shift Case.
Conceivably, there may exist facts
which would modify the official ver-
sion. About this, we may not know
for many years, not until private
diaries and recollections are made
public. 1t may be that while the
