CHANGING THE
SUCCESSION
Where The Dominions Stand
AN ANOMALY BY STATUTE
A statement during the crisis by the Prime Minister of Australia, Mr. J. A. Lyons, has drawn attention to a curious anomaly in the Empires Constitution under the Statute of Westminster.
This Statute
was passed by the United Kingdom Government in 1931, but none of the December, Dominions implicated, except South Africa that is, Canada, Australia,

A MORGANATIC MARRIAGE ACT The passing of a morganatic mar- riage law by the United Kingdom Government in favour of King Ed- ward would only have been possible. as Mr. Baldwin explained during the crisis. if all the Dominions agreed.
It should be pointed out that in the case of Canada and the. Irish Free State the provisions of the Statute of Westminster were consl- dered to be already in operation, and that, therefore, no further de claration was deemed necessary. was under this ruling that Canada, Bike South Africa, passed her Free Status Acts, and that President De Valera passed various measures as- serting the Independence of the Irish Free State.

IN THE PREAMBLE The declaration referring to succession, on which Mr. Baldwin based his statement that the assent of the Dominions would be required to any change, is contained in the preumble to the Statute of Westmins- ter. It reads as follows:
"And whereas it is meet and pro- per to set out by way of preamble to this Act that, inasmuch as the Crown is the symbol of the free association of the members of the British Com- monwealth of Nations, and as they are united by a common allegiance to the Crown, it would be in accord with the established
constitutional position of all the members of the Commonwealth in relation to one another that any alteration in the Taw touching the Succession to the Throne or the Royal Style and Titles shall hereafter require the assent as weli of the Parliaments of all the Dominions as of the Parliament of the United Kingdom."
LAW OR PRACTICE
As this declaration merely forms part of the preamble, it is n nice point whether It is actually binding in faw; but it may be taken that in practice, all the Dominions, with the possible exception of the Irish Free State. would so regard it.
In the case of the latter, a United Kingdom Act, agreed to by the rest of the Dominions, debarring the heirs of King Edward from succeeding to
the Throne, might not linve been acceptable, in certain circum- stances, to the trish Free
State.
This disagreement, in turn, might necessitate the United Kingdomh and tho other Dominions pass- ing. Iegislation specineally cluding the Irish Free State: from any Imperial Enactment eventually adopted.
