LONDON, Dec. 3. The Brit-
ish public, shocked by the sudden
realization that King Edward VIII
may abdicate if hia government
does not permit him to marry Mrs.
Wallis Simpson, began to rally to
his support today. *
The result may be that the gov-
ernment will be forced to back
down and aaaent at least to a
compromise by which Edward may
remain king and marry Mrs
Simpson as hia consort but not
queen - under one of the highest
titles of nobility, such as the
Duchess of Cornwall.
This development came after
the empire-shaking love affair was
brought up in the House of Com-
mons.
A gravely anxious House, al-
most solidly behind the govern-
merit In Its determination to pre-
vent the. marriage of their king ——
to a twice-divorced American com-
moner, heard Prime Minister Bald-
win admit the matter is en grave
it should not be discussed in Com-
mons for the present
A profound stir was caused when -
Winston Churchill asked the pre-
mier for assurance that no “irrev-
ocable step” will be taken before
a formal statement Is made to
Parliament for its decision.
Members gasped, realising
Churchill meant the question of
abdication.
King Gets First Break
Baldwin dodged the question,
saying he had “nothing to add.”
Baldwin declared no constitu-
tional difficulty existed “at pres- - *
ent,” which left ths implication
that one might arise.
The delicate subject was brought
up by Maj. Clement R. Attlee, La-
bor leader.
A motion in the House by Jo-
atah Wedgwood, Laborite, tabled
for early consideration, was widely
regarded as the first break in the
Laborite ranks in favor of the
king, although the sentiment of
the House is almost solidly for the
government, as evidenced by the
cheers which greeted Baldwin
when he arose to speak.
The motion read.
—That In the opinion of the
House, the oath of allegiance they
already have taken to King Ed-
ward VIII la not affected by any
form of coronation ceremony or by
the presence thereat or absence
therefrom of any dignitary or
personage whatsoever; nor will 4
they substitute any other for ths
king of England."
Allegiance Oath Cited
The meaning was obscure, but
presumably referred to' intima-
tions that the Archbishops of Can- %.
terbury and York, highest digni-
taries of the Church of England,
who normally conduct the corona-
tion ceremonies, might not attend.
In a statement later to the
press, Wedgwood said: “ The chief
calamity which must be avoided is
the abdication of our beloved sov-
ereign ’’
It was understood last night's
dramatic conference at which
Baldwin laid down the law to his
sovereign occurred In'the regency
room of Buckingham palace, where
the king usually entertains Mrs
Simpson.
The king, deeply perturbed and
rod-faced, was understood to have
replied In effect:
"I will brook no Interference
with my private affairs"
Baldwin Takes Time
Baldwin, reluctant to take such
an irrevocable step as resigning
or suggesting the king's abdiea-
tion, proposed that the king “sleep A
on it." He suggested a 48-hour
“armistice” and it was expected
Baldwin might see the king to-
morrow to obtain his decision and
make an announcement after the
Stock Exchange has closed for the
week-end.
