ARCHBISHOP'S SPEECH
Allusions to Abdication of Edward DISCUSSION PROBABLE (Received 21, 10.45 a.m.) LONDON, Jan. 20. The Archbishop of Canterbury} opening the Convocation, which met in Westminster Abbey for the first time in history, declared that only a year ago the Convocation had expressed loyalty to Edward, whose reign was so full of promise, but it was unexpeetedly ended by his own choice. Silence was now best about the circumstances leading to it, but it was only right to record thankfulness for the calmness and steadiness with which the people of the Empire had met the crisis. Canon Rogers, of Birmingham, declared that many probably would not agree to the Primate's allusions to the abdication of' King Edward. It was agreed therefore to postpone consideration of the address to enable members of the Convocation tp study it.
