CORONATION OATH
Protestant Fears Allayed LONDON, Feb. 22. "Our fears that the King'g ple'dge to maintain the Protestant Reformed religion might be altered have been allayed," says Mr J. A. Kensit, of the Protestant Truth Society, "but should the phrasing be altered by Downing Street without a debate in Parliament? While it is only reasonable to recogtnise in the oath the altered status of the Dominions, yet on a future- occasion, because of this precedent, vital words might be altered. The Ai'chbishop of Canterbury is in an anomalous position in exacting from the King an oath to do something he fails to do himself. I am writing to the Archbishop of C-anterhury asking him ,if the question he asks the King is : 'Will you do the utmost in your power to maintain the Protestant Reformed religion established by law?'
