With Edward's ascension to tht! throne less than a year ago there emerged not just another king, but & New and strong leader.

He was not supposed to make any such pronouncement with- | ut the advice of his ministers, and it happened that he intruded on a matter already in hand. ‘The government had to scrap its own ideas of a solution and follow his Iead. 2 The hungry unemployed applaud such initlative on the part of “Prince Davie,” but the government, exceed. ingly jealous of its constitutional pre Togatives, is afraid of it. Now comes the Simpson case, with the king thus far absolutely defying the government. Marriage Js Issue However, it was the fitnecs of the Merriage, and not the king's lead ey which was the issue at the out- set. Under Baldwin's constitutional set- up, parliament is supreme, but the rea} boss of the show—with the ap: proval of parliament—is the prime minister. The members of his cabi- net, pelected by himself, must accept his dictation or resign. The premier ts responsible to par} ment only: after the event, that is why Premier Stanley Baldwin was able to decline to commit himself Thursday in Commons when Wins- ton Churchill asked him whether any irrevocable step would be taken in the Simpson crisis without parlia- Ment first being informed. If a Premier makes a mistake, parliament can kick him out, but he may already have done the damage before ths ean act. Acts Only on Advice not supposed to intrude form of government.

It was a dislike for the actions of the House of Hanover (the present reigning Windsors) when King Edward's encestors came to the English throne in 1714, which led Wally Simpson's ancestors, the Warflelds, to leave England for America, The Warfields dis- liked theit Hanoverian king who preferred his home in Hanover to England and neglected English- men and their interests. ——$—$$_ i 10 HARM ACTRESS}: whieh have not yet been but which will bring the atte predicted oyment would pre employment continue to make steady gains and don board was scheduled, Dec. 15, said the doubted whether the WPA feduction would affect the ment rolls greatly.
