no statement to make’* on a consti
tutional crisis.
Clement R. Attlee, the opposition
leader who reputedly has sided with
Baldwin against the king In the
prime minister's demand that Ed
ward relinquish Mrs. Simpson, ask
ed as the tense members of parlia
ment and the amased cltlsenry of
the empire waited:
“I would like to ask the prime
minister on private motion a ques
tion—whether any constitutional
difficulties have arisen and whether
he has any statement to make."
Baldwin replied:
Statement Inexpedient
"I have no statement to make to
day. While there does not at pres
ent exist any constitutional diffi
culty, the situation la of such a na
ture as to make It Inexpedient that
l should be questioned about it at
this stage."
It was a stunning anti-climax to
a day which saw these breath-tak
ing developments:
I. The king, at his Fort Belvedere
country residence with the Duke
and Duchess of York, Mrs. Simp
son, and his closest counselors, rep
resented In the highest sources as
determined to hold both hla friend
ship for the American woman and
his throne—a situation which might
ultimately lead to his abdication.
Threatens Resignation
S. Baldwin reputedly threatening,
with the support of his opposition,
mass cabinet resignations unless
the king renounces any Idea of
marrying Mrs. Simpson.
3. The excited, astonished people
of the British Isles and their dom
inions, engulfed by a sudden flood
of vivid publicity about their sov
ereign and his twice-divorced friend,
groping for a decision and a stand
with king or cabinet.
' Chnreh la Fight
4. The Anglican ohurch, openly
opposing any alliance whatsoever
between the king and Mrs. Simp
son. .
In his guarded Fort Belvedere re
treat with both Mrs. Simpson and
his brother, the bachelor head of!
the House of Windsor let It be known
he will never surrender to Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin.
He will fight to the finish on the
constitutional Issue which has been
raised against him by hla ministers'
Insistence that he renounce hla
twice-divorced American friend.
U he loses It might even mean
abdication—but those who know the
king well said this afternoon that
even that extreme would not break
up his friendship for the woman!
whose name has become anathema I
to the British government and the
Church of England.
Mrs. Simpson’s friends were de
clared to have advised her to leave1
England. The king, however, refus
ed to allow her departure until his
own future is decided, reliable sour
ces said.
Calls Advisors
The king called his personal ad
visors—among whom he numbers
his brother, the Duke of York, who
would succeed him should the Brit
ish throne be vacated in the gov
ernmental crisis—into, conference
on the next move in tne gnve situa
tion.
Obstinate cabinet- members also
rushed their campaign to force King
Edward to renounce his friendship
for the former Baltimore belle.
Want Duke Of York
An authoritative source asserted
the government hoped for a swift'
change over with the Duke of York I
acclaimed monarch in event the
present ruler decides to surrender
in his fight for personal liberty In

Douglu Hacking, chairman of the
Conservative party. Lord Halifax,
lord privy seal, arrived at No. 10.
The crowd outside grew a* the
minute* wore on, new arrival* con
verting with their neighbor* on the
gravity of the situation.
The financial district clamored
for a quick statement on the gov
ernment's position in it* constitu
tional fight with the king over Mrs.
Simpson.
Fear For Ra:ult
Financial leader* expressed fear
over possible effects of the stock
exchange and the money market,
Business was almost suspended
from today's opening, awaiting the
outcome of the unprecedented sit
uation.
British government securities
dropped a quarter of a point. Other
markets were stagnant. Traders re
fused to deal.
The British public, which today
was learning of Mrs. Simpson's as
sociation with the king through
newspapers which finally named
the American woman after weeks
of veiled comment, still had little
knowledge of how close she stood in
the royal councils.
Public Ignorant
Few knew Mrs. Simpson was with
the king and the Duke and Duchess
of York at the country residence.
She stood at the king’s side, how
ever, in the critical hours which
may decide the future of the British
throne together with the question
of whether King Edward ever will
wear the crown.
A spokesman at No. 10 Downing
street declared "the matter is now
a constitutional issue.”
An authoritative source stated
the cabinet, having told the ruler
exactly how the situation stood, was
waiting for him to make the next
move.
A definite reply to the minister
ial objections against the king’s
possible marriage was expected from
the sovereign before nightfall.
In later trading, stsck exchange
dealing^ showed some recovery
from early declines with Industrials
steady but hotel shares weak.
Reports that the London stock
exchange might c'nw until (lie crisis
ts settled circulated in provlncla
cities.
“I cannot conceive the exchangi
should close,” said an official It
close touch with the situation. "I
must not be assumed that becausi
the exchange closed when the coun
try went off the gold standard 1
will close now."
