URGED TO RECONSIDER ABDICATION
POLITICAL BREACH
*EXPLAINED
NATION IS NORMAL
London, Oct. 28.
The Government of Siam
Iras requested the King to reconsider his, decision to ¡abdicate.
The King of Siam has clarified the position within his kingdom which brought about his offer to abdicate, and through his secret- ary has issued a statement in which he emphasises that the fight for Royal Prerogative, in regard to the commuting of the death sentence, is really a fight for the principles of democratic government,
As a majority of the elected mer- bere of the Assembly voted against- the measure curtailing the King's Prerogative, the King feels he is basing his refusal to sign away his prerogative directly upon the will of the majority of his people, who, he feels, do not desire any changé in the present position.
