The Comic Touch The English have long enjoyed the indoor sport of looking down their extensive noses at the quaint goings on in these crude United States, and remarking that some things are really done evah so much bettah in London. We do furnish our share of the world’s comedy, of course. Occasionally we pop up with a Huey Long to receive, in green silk pajamas, the skipper of a visiting warship; or we send a Zioncheck to congress, or bring forth a technocracy pipedream, or find some other way of provoking condescending mirth abroad. But we have never yet created a world crisis by rowing about whether a woman who has two living ex-husbands is to occupy our White House as the country’s Number One Woman. In spite of its immensely serious aspect, the great Wally Simpson affair has just the faintest but most unmistakable flavor of Graustark. It might have been devised by Robert W. Chambers, with music by Sigmund Romberg. That it should be happening in England, of all places, is enough to make a su- preme court justice chuckle. Stanley Baldwin, most conscientious and well-intentioned of statesmen, does look ever so slightly flustered as he bumbles back and forth between palace and prime minister’s residence. The cabinet, convening solemnly to deal with the menace of a ‘woman from Baltimore, does look like something out of Gilbert ‘and Sullivan. The two people who have managed to retain their dignity are precisely the two about whom all the fuss is being made—the king and Mrs. Simpson. All this, apparently, is what you let yourself in for by keeping an anachronism alive in this modern world. England, a most thorough-going democracy, has kept the institution of kingship. With everything else in the land brought up to date, it has insisted on preserving the kingship under glass, like a treasured fragment of the 18th century. The king has none of the power his forebears enjoyed, but he is supposed to play by the same rules they played by, to act as if he and all his connéctions were of finer clay than that of the common folk. It seems to have occurred to King Edward that this is pretty ridiculous. Why not take this museum piece out from under its glass case, blow the cobwebs off, and bring it up to date? Why not, indeed? Citizens of a republic are probably barred, by the nature of things, from discussing the question intelligently ; yet they can hardly be blamed for taking an in- #ense interest in it, any more than they can be blamed for hav- ing a sneaking feeling that what Edward is fighting is princi- pally dyed-in-the-wool old-fogeyism. And meanwhile . .. who would have thought that a pretty woman from Maryland could rattle the august bones of the entire British empire? A Detroit woman was fined for breaking bottles on the pavement in baad eer home, proof that persons who live in stone houses should not ‘ow . HORIZONTAL 1 Best poct of the Middle Ages.

Edward’s Renunciation Read Before House of Commons by Baldwin ever imposed on a prime minister,” and told the story of the momentous weeks of struggle between king and prime minister. “When I said ‘goodbye’ on Tuesday night,” Baldwin told his tense listen- ers, while unsmiling crowds surged and jostled outside in parliament equare, “we both knew, and felt, and said to each other that our friendship —so far from being impaired by the discussions of this last week—bound us more closely together than it ever lad—and that it would last for life.” Parliament will remain in seasion, it was indicated, until all the neces- sary steps are taken for the abdica- tion of one king and the making of nother. HUEY DISAPPOINTED AS CAMPAIGN MANAGER Burkett Huey, Bismarck man, was a disappointed campaign man- ager today. Self-appointed, Huey has been traveling around western North Dakota in his automobile bearing a sticker “Simpson for Queen.” Huey could not be reached for comment. Calls Privy Council The privy council will be called to- gether, followed by a special meeting in commons. The members of pariia- ment are expected to take their new oath of allegiance on Monday. A bill to make the abdication law is ready now for introduction, here and in the dominions. Happily, Edward's renunciation of the throne came without bitterness, and his pledge of hope for the em- Pire’s stability and the people’s hap- piness gave the whole situation the aspect of a family problem, Edward, with his younger brother, the Duke of Kent, spent the last fate- ful moments of his reign at turreted Fort Belvedere, the country retreat which has been the focal point of the empire's drama. Morton to Windsor Just before parliament heard the word of abdication, the new king and the Duke of Gloucester had left Ed- ward's side, to motor in the direction of Windsor. Tragic Queen Mary had gone to her second son's home in Picadilly Circus while commons assembled. And at Villa Lou Viei at Cannes, even before the world knew the truth, Wallis Simpson, through her spokes- man-host, Herman Rogers said flatly that Edward would not join her there, That left the plans of the man who had been king and the woman he loves a secret unto themselves. Baldwin described his discussions with the king about Mrs. Simpson, and told how Edward from the outset had declared this determination to marry her, Doubly Bound to Speak “I felt doubly bound to speak,” he said, “it was my duty ... to the coun. try, my duty to him, not only as counsellor but as friend.” He related how he and the mon- arch had wrestled with the problem as. man to man, the king insist they settle the whole issue between themselves, Cheers rang through the chamber as Baldwin declared: “I reminded him of what I have often told him and his brothers in years past, and that is this: The crown in this country through centuries has been deprived of many of its preroga- tives but today—while that ts true— it stands for far more than it ever has done in its’ history. Last Link of Empire . . Its integrity is not only the last link of empire ... it is a guar- antee, so long as it exists in that in- tegrity, against the -many evils that have affected and afflicted other countries.” ¢ In the tense house of lords, the ven- erable Archbishop of Canterbury raised his voice to declare: “This is an occasion when our thoughts are too deep for tears, cer- tainly too deep for words.” Then the primate, united with Bald- win agaist morganatic marriage for the wearer of the crown, praised the “dignity, calmness and courage” of the queen mother. Before he arose, Lord Halifax had from the king,” the Gecsde tor polly ateaty a conchuslon that it would be with The house of lords received the monarch’s message in absolute 5 The galleries there were occupied 90 per cent by women, their dreas and manner as those Pass Bills Quickly Lord Halifax, arcs announcing tion giving wishes,” to ask your of the bill from another place, to suspend the necessary to enable this house to similarly pass it... before we rise tomorrow.” The accession council is expected to | Press convene at St. James’ palace on Sat- urday, when the lords, the privy coun- cil, the high commissioners of the dominions and India, the lord mayor and aldermen of the ‘city of London will approve proclamation of the new |. Unofficially, {t was stated there would be no alteration in coronation plans or the May 12 date. Relinquishes All Titles By abdication, Edward relinquished all his many titles, but it was expected special dukedom would be created for him. Whether he will await April 27— the date Mrs. Simpson's decree of divorce from Ernest Aldrich Simpson becomes final—to marry his ber throthed, was not known. Many, how- ever, thought such a delay unlikely. There has been no move, as yet, to accelerate the time of finality, which may be accomplished only with the assent of the trial court and the king’s proctor. ae Over London, there was a marked lack of demonstration when word of the abdication became known. Crowds cheered Queen Mary when she left the new king’s Piccadilly house at 4:31 P. m., however, and police reinforoe- ments were called out to keep the peo- ple moving there. Fog Lays Over City A thick, gloomy fog lay over the city. Knots of sober-faced people gathered in the inky darkness every- where, There were no newspaper ex- tras as they are known to Americs,, but the papers inserted abdication bulletins in their “stop press,” front page, columns. In the dominions and colonies, the genera] feeling was one of sadness that the old king had gone; deep relief that the crisis had passed; joy in the new king. At 5:30 p. m. the Duke of York's motor car arrived again at Fort Bel- vedere, where Edward presumably re- mained, The belief spread that Edward would go to the continent Friday, but it was more likely he would remain in seclusion at Belvedere until the act of abdication becomes law. Edward Must Leave No law exists covering the situa- tion, but it generally was considered true that Edward may not stay in Great Britain or any dominion of the empire.

As for York, the king to be, he can choose any name he desires for his reign—the 39th since the Norman conquest, Predicts Title The British Press association, however, predicted with authority it would be “George VI.” His reign will begin after the act of abdication is finally passed and signed, whereupon the lords, the privy council, the high commissions of the dominions and India, the lord mayor and the aldermen will gather to prove proclamation of the new sov- ereign. Steps in the accession of the new king will be swiit after the proclama- tion of accession, to be read Saturday to the court at St. James’ Palace. Following the accession council, the proclamation of the new king will be tead in the palace by officers at arms, garbed in their medieval tabards. .

Readers Prepared Editorials in elmost ail provincial hewspaper prepared their readers for abdication. All stressed the fact that despite sorrow at seeing Edward re- nounce the throne, his going would not weaken the empire. While the act of abdication is vol- untary, constitutional lawyers agreed complementary legislation was neces- sary. Some argued that even if Edward renounces the throne, he still will be rightful occupant, and under the act} ins. of settlement would be able to claim it later on if the statute is not amended in the meantime. Regarded as Ruler If Edward abdicates and marries Wallis Simpson, it was contended, he atill may be regarded as rightful ruler of the British domain. + That point was raised in commons when a member pointed out that membets of parliament, judges, po- ce, soldiers, sailors and others in public and gemi-public life took an oath of allegiance to the person of Edward himself. - / Another point which arose to com- plicate the situation when Edward re- nounced the crown was his right un- der law to make the marriage he desires. The existing law specifies that the Permission of the monarch must be secured for the marriage of any mem- ber of the royal family, Tt was believed when Baldwin an- nounced Edward's abdication, he forthwith would press for the passage Gi legislation solving all these prob- ms, Amendments Necemary Amendments to the act of settle- ment—which governs the order of suc- to cover the contingency of any issue from a matriage of Edward and Wall Simpson. Another point to be settled—uniess Baldwin and his advisers have reachea an agreement with Edward—wes the financial position of any outgoing monarch. The annual appropriations for the royal family, the civil list passed by parliament, makes for other members than the himself.
