CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE

NO FOUNDATION

The "Morning Post," referring to Dr. Blunt's declaration that the newspapers misunderstood him, says that the fact remains that only one interpretation has been placed on the Bishop's remarks by the majority of those who read him, and the Bishop has thus un- wittingly raised a ghost which will not easily be laid. "We be- lieve we shall be speaking for mii- llons of loyal and devoted sub- jects of the King when we say that we shrink from believing that there is a solid foundation for the, gossip and rumour now current at home and abroad. We are con- vinced that the most serious, harm must come to all that, have most claim to protection it such open statements abroad and such dis- turbing rumours at home are able to circulate unrefuted any longer." The "Dally Telegraph." In a leading article headed' "The King and the Empire." states "Yester- day's Cabinet discussed a matter of the highest constitutional im- portance, of a nature to which nothing even remotely a parallel has occurred in recent times It was concerned with the Ministers relations with the Sovereign on the personal position of the King himself. The King's private affairs are his own; but there are aspects in which the private affairs of a constitutional sovereign assume first-rate public importance and cannot be dissociated from his public position."/

Popular Demonstration

The populace of the Republic of Lebanon, which is under French mandate, were requested by the newly elected president of the republic, Eddé, to make known their wishes to the au- thorities by means of popular demonstrations and the placards. carried here advertise a number of such wishes. A governmental delegate is haranguing the crowd but popular attention has been momentarily diverted by a passing aeroplane.

The leading article continues: "The issue raised is whether this lady is a suitable person to be Queen of England, and whether this matter is to be decided by the King himself or by the Govern ment, as the mouthpiece of public opinion. It is for the King to say" who shall be his partner for life. It is for Parliament to say who shall be Queen of this coun- try and to regulate the succession to the throne. If the King has the right to take his own decision on the first point, it la undis putable that he must fall in with the advice of his responsible Min- isters, on a constitutional issue such as that involved in the sec- ond.

CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

Both the "Daily Mail and the "Daily Express" treat the issue between the King and his Minis- ters in the main news columns, employing the phrase "Constitu- tional Crisis,” announcing that the King has intimated that he wishes to make a marriage and that the Cabinet have advised against this course. The "Dally Mall." in the course of a lending`ar- ticle, says that the whole empire will look anxiously towards the King and Government to solve this problem. An act of abdica- tion at such a time would fill the hearts of millions of the King's loyal subjects with the deepest
