THE KING’S DUTY

“What She Can Do, He Can Do.”

Press Association—Copyright. London, Dec. 7. “The crisis is now racing to its. climex and the decision by the King one way or the other is expected within a comparatively few hours,” says the political correspondent of the News Chronicle. “Immediate developments are likely to be a summons to Mr. Baldwin to go to Fort Belvedere to-day, and probably a Cabinet meeting in the afternoon or evening. “The way of personal renunciation has been made clear for the King by the act of the woman he loves. What she can do he also can do, and it is his duty to dodt.” It is understood that the King's decision is not likely to be available until Wednesday or Thursday, says the political correspondent of the Daily Telegraph. His Majesty has been profoundly impressed by the evidence of the country’s feelings, while the warmth of Mr. Baldwin’s reception in the House of Commons is regarded as an indication that Parliament would support Hie Government. The King has not encouraged the idea that he was in conflict with the Government, and would disapprove of any attempt, to stir up a controversy on such lines.
