COMMENTS

London, Dec. 5.

The Daily Telegraph, stressing the danger of a delayed decision, declares it is utterly deplorable if what used to be called "The King's Party" showed even the first faint signs of emergence after a lapse of 150 years, for that would lead straight to a constitutional crisis of far more dangerous import.

"We carnestly hope that the King will do that which comports most with his royal dignity and the honour of the realm.

"The suggestion that anyone in the Cabinet or outside it desires the King's abdlention is monstrously un-. true, On the contrary, it would be regarded as a caininity. But it wouli be a far greater, calamity for this irreparable calamity for the English and the Empire, and an Crown, if the best traditions of the Throne were departed from.

"It is wrong-headed and perverse to darken the counsel by the infusion of false, misguided sentiment which won't or cannot view the Crown apart from the well-loved person of our present King", the Telegraph 'de- clares.

.

King's Sacrifice

In maiding a renunciation of his love, the Kine sacrifices only his owr immediate happiness; in refusing it. he jeopardises the future welfare of his people and the stability of his Empire," declares the Morning Port.

"The King is faced with a choice between self-will and self-sacrifice. The choice must be made quickly if even the benefits of a right cholec are We not to be forfeited by suspense. caront believe the decision will be unworthy of the man er the occasion. or that a refuge will be fought in abdication."....

MAKING LONDON, DEC. 4.

SEVERAL HUNDRED YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN GATHERED OUTSIDE BUC- KINGHAM PALACE TO-DAY, CARRYING BANNERS INSCRIBED: "LET THE KING KNOW YOU ARE WITH HIM.”

THE POLICE ARRIVED ON THE SCENE, WHEREUPON THE DEMONSTRATORS MARCHED TO NO. 10 DOWNING STREET AND SANG "GOD SAVE THE KING" AND "FOR HE'S A JOLLY GOOD FELLOW."

THE POLICE AGAIN ARRIVED AND THE MARCHERS THEN LEFT SHOUTING: "WE WANT EDWARD!"; "EDWARD IS OUR KING!” THEY THEN, PROCEEDED TO THE DUKE OF YORK'S RESIDENCE AND SANG “GOD SAVE THE KING.”

Sir Archibald Sinclair, Leader of the Liberal Party, addressing a meeting of the Liberal Association at Surbiton, said the reports of his opposition to the marri age of King Edward and Mrs. Simpson were false.

This statement is significant in view of the possibility that Sir Archibald, as Leader of the Liberals in the House of Commons, might be asked to form a Govern- ment in the event of Mr. Baldwin deciding to resign.

"The only issue which has been decided is whether an Act can be passed to give the lady the King desires to marry a status other than that of Queen," said Sir Archibald, adding that the applause which followed Mr. Baldwin's negative answer to this issue indicated agreement therewith.

There are indications at the moment that the strong-willed Monarch intends to accept the challenge and fight back, carrying the issue to the people.

It is authoritatively-stated-that-the-King-intends to defy MrBaldwin, the-Gon- servatives and the clergy, as well as the entire Government, after which the people may decide the issue at a General Election.
