Stanley Baldwin Speaks To

I'm any crisis that may arise

the house OF commons may well

often required at similar times dur
ing a long history but has seldom
been given-a council Of state which

The whole editorial is recital OF
the community OF interests between
the labor party and the conserva-
tives in commons.
Behind the ominous sentence
quoted, some see the possibility that
this constitutional struggle might
confront the king with the neces-
sity OF abdicating II he wanted to
marry Mrs. Simpson.
It was understood that Mrs
Simpson herself was observing q
completely non-committal attitude
and had made 1t clear that any
matrimonial ideas which the king
may have do not como from her.
A suggestion that the king may
plan TO marry Mrs, Simpson and
make her queen "a contingency
which the present constitutional law
does not prevents beginning 10
spread like wild fire through social
circles, and Is fiabbergasting TO the
average Briton.
