A definite reply to the ministerial objections against the King’s possible’ marriage was expected from the sov- ereign before nightfall. The first editions of the Evening News, splashing stories of the con- troversy over the entire front page, carried photographs of the King and Mrs. Simpson. The News, which ordinarily is de- voted exclusively to racing results, devoted almost two columns to vut- lining Mrs. Simpson's career since she made her debut in Baltimore in 1914. Came of Distinguished Family “The Warfields (Mrs. Simpson's maiden name) in Baltimore were an American branch of a distinguished English family,” the News declared.

Sir Ralph gave no reason for his, action which caused a report to spread immediately he had ! —attempt to set up & government ‘without @ parliament. Baldwin, reported to have obtained su from the Church of England whose prelates object to Mrs. Simp- son because she is a divorced woman, is supposed to have secured backing from parliament. > One report said the king reminded the prime minister tartly that he was “still king” and the cabinet’s concern over the Simpson case was an intru- sion into his personal affairs. Helps Baldwin Baldwin then sought and obtained commons support for the cabinet’s view and was still pondering the prob- lem when the right Rev. A. W. F. Blunt, Bishop of Bradford, made his now famous speech concerning the king's need of God's grace. The bishop Wednesday interpreted his remarks as pertaining solely to the monarch’s spiritual life when he said “some of us wish he gave more positive signs” he is aware of this need. ‘The News-Chronicle declared: “One. of King Edward's circle of wor revenue is received.

Wallie to Leave? Whatever the outcome, learned on excellent authority, Mrs. Simpsoir probably will leave England soon and seek seclusion either on the continent or an ocean voyage. The Duke of York arrived early Thursday at Fort Belvedere with his wife after their return to London from Edinburgh. Crowds of curious Londoners, meanwhile, were congregating in front of No. 10 Downing street, Prime Minister Staney Baldwin's official! residence.

Highlighted in Press The full controversy burst into prominence in the London press, highlighted by a Daily Mirror head- line which shouted: “The king wants to marry Mrs. Simpson! Cabinet advises ‘Nol’” ‘The News-Chronicle was the first openly to name the former American debutante, suggesting the m e— “a true love match—and a democratic one at that’—would be “popular.” ‘The crisis was brought to s head, informed sources declared, by « visit by Prime Minister Baldwin to Buck- ingham palace. There, it was said, the ranking minister delivered the suggestion of an ultimatum. Having received the ruler’s answer, Baldwin retraced his way to the house of commons. The king put on his overcoat and left the palace for what was reported in some quarters as & Mel “with Mrs. Simpson outside Lon- jon, King Rallies Advisers The king called his personal ad- visers—among whom he numbers his brother the Duke of York, who would succeed him should the British throne be vacated in the governmental crisis —into conference on the next move in the grave situation.
