"GOVERNOR'S SPEECH Addressing the assembly in tones of deep emotion. His the Governor, sald.--
Honourable Members.
Excellency
When,
less than a year ago, we met in this Chamber to past
a Resolu- tion of
with condolence
Her Gracious Majesty Queen Mary and with all the Royal Family, on the death of our beloved King George V, and when a week later) W3 Passed our fervent Resolution of Loyalty to His eldest son, King Edward VIII, nebody could have foreseen what the very near fu ture had in store or
The possibility that the loyalty which We then pledged might involve the loyal acceptance of the abdication of a sovereign so dear to us was unthinkable. Nevertheless the unthinkable has happened.
115.
I need not attempt here any verbal expression of the
ordeal through which our British Com monwealth of Nations has just passed. Suffice it to say that, whatever difference there may have been in individual reactions to recent painful developments. the psychology of them all has had one common basic factor: A strong love for the Throne and a deep desire that nothing shall im- pair its influence or its stability.
The storm has now
passed, leaving behind it, alas, a "sad Wreckage of hopes and the cruel damage of disappointment; but, thank God, the House of Windsor stands high, selid and unshaken, founded as it is not on any skift ing sands of sentiment but on the firm bedrock of an Empire's grate- ...ful devotion.
And so gentlemen, let us with renewed courage and thankfulness pledge the love and loyalty of this Colony and this Council
to His Majesty King George VI by pass- ing the Resolution which it is now my high privilege to move.
THE RESOLUTION
I will read the resolutions: #WC, the members of the Legislative Council of Hong Kanr.
