Royal Family Is Deeply Affected By Present Row NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—<*”>—On the side-lines, Anxiously watching the constitutional storm raging around King Edward and Mrs. Wallis Simpson, three central figures to day held the eyes of the world. The first—the Duke of York some day may be Britain’s king, i The second—his wife, the dutchess —may achieve in the same crown ing hour of glory the final step Sij a rise from commoner to queen. The third—Queen Mary—looked back mi more than a quarter of a century of striying to bind the 450, 000,000 subjects of the British em pire into one people under one great sovereignty. To thp sallow-faced, stuttering duke, kridwn as “Bertie” in the royal family circle, would fall tne mantle of the world's largest mon archy—if Edward abdicates. To the quiet-eyed, dun-haired Duchess of York, born Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Dowes-Lyon who likes to be called “Lizzie," may fall the distinction of being the first commoner to share the throne since Catherine Parr, the sixth and last of the despotic Henry Vlll’s ill fated wives. To the regal 89-year-old queen mother, already bowed by the death last January of King George, may come only renewed suffering. In recent months, the once proud figure of the "Queen who really looked like a queen” was noticeably drooped. The clear, commanding eyes of a year ago have softened into the tired,- sorrow-filed eyes of a care-worn old lady. Both sons, Edward the king and “Bertie’ the heir presumptive, have shown in these past critical hours *that their great concern, even above themselves, has been for Queen Mary. Mrs. Simpson Leaves England For France (Continued from page one.) was knocked aside by the secretary and struck back. After a brief en counter the party entered their au tomobile and departed.

She was expected, how ever, to Join Mrs. Simpson on the continent shortly. Four trunks and other Simpson luggage labelled "Miss Burke’’ were placed aboard a channel boat leav ing Dover at one o'clock this after noon to be sent to Mrs. Simpson who departed secretly for the French Riviera last night.

(Associated Press Photo) Council Stalling For Time Just Now (Continued from page one.) terday with a motion that parlia ment reavow its allegiance to the king, indicated he would press for debate on the constitutional issue Monday. . He gave notice he would ask Bald win on that day for “an immediate discussion’’ of the whole affair. The first minister’s continued lack of action, meanwhile, gave rise to some speculation as to whether the prospect for abdication were not now moi# remote. Still there was no certainty anywhere. This feeling of optimism, reflect ed both in Whitehall and Com mons lobbies, was attributed in part to the king’s conference last night with Mary, the queen mother. Bluff Called Other usually well informed per sons suspected the monarch had ac tually called Baldwin’s bluff on fhe prime minister’s “choose Mrs. Simp son or the throne” ultimatum, tell ing him in effect: “Go ahead and quit* let’s see what happens.” To resign might be the only way Baldwin could force the king to ab dicate. After the Commons’ questioning, all the ministers left quickly and went into a new conference—the | second of the day. They still were I talking early this afternoon. Informed persons believed the (cabinet, faced with the king’s un j yielding defiance, now was forced; to stall for time until it is assured, of the solid backing of the domin- j ions. Cables Dominions Baldwin sent urgent cables to each dominion for official reaction. He may get the answers by tonight. 1 Clement R. Attlee, leader of his majesty’s opposition' asked the prime minister this morning if he had any statement on the historic l situation brought about by the gov I emment’s demand the sovereign ' give up either Mis. Simpson or his throne. “At the moment." Baldwin re plied, he had nothing to say. With the king, haggard after four hours’ sleep, grimly determined to resume his epic struggle with the l ministers, Britain's public was be coming increasingly appalled at the : thought of losing him. E Talk of abdication was rife, s Barely had commons opened be • fore Baldwin, rising, told Attlee: 1 “The Right Honorable gentleman was good enough to send me notice r in the cabinet, where I was presid > ing, that he was going to ask this , question. s “Nothing To Add” "I regret to say at the moment I iiav* sothinc to add to what*, said yesterday, while being just as alive as to what was asked me yesterday as to the urgency of some decision being made known at the earliest possible moment.*’ Yesterday Attlee asked Baldwin If he had any statement to make on any “constitutional difficulty.” The prime minister asserted none existed at the time, but that the gravity of the matter made it “in expedient” for him to answer the question. With the continued lack of def inite developments from either camp in the critical struggle for supremacy, Informed sources gave definite indications that the whole crisis may have been considerably ameliorated. By The Associated Press The world speculated today on the outcome of King Edward’s fight with his cabinet over Mrs. Wallis Simpson. Paris—the French press, revok ing a self-imposed censorship, was unanimously certain abdication is inevitable. Madrid—Romantic Spain was too busy fighting today to take any interest in other nation’s troubles— even affairs of the heart. Berlin—There was a scarcity of English news in the Nazi press. No newspaper carried pictures either of the king or of Mrs. Simpson, and mentioned the controversy only briefly. Rome—Italy regarded King Ed ward’s dilemma today with keen Interest but complete lack of com ment. Geneva—The Spanish civil war was relegated to second place in internationalists’ conversations to day, dimmed by reports King Ed ward might abdicate. Tokyo—Japan'8 press “broke” the King Edward-Mrs. Simpson story today with big, black headlines, pic tures and stories splashed all over front pages. The situation was viewed in frank bewilderment. Hare the empress traditionally is selected from among the imperial families and the five other families of noble blood, known as the Gosekke. Vienna,—Both the Austrian and Hungarian press feared today Eng land’s internal difficulties were like ly to throw the European political situation even further out of bal ance.
