THE ACCESSION OATH
WHAT THE TIMES SAYS. OATH WILL BE AMENDED. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received May 12, 1.5 a.m. London, May 11. The Times says that although reasonable men of all religions are agreed that the wording of the Accession Declaration might ibe modified with advantage, it seems impossible that a Bill effecting the specific changes could be carried within the time at Parliament's disposal, inasmuch as it requires unanimity; and indicates that besides the urgency of the civil list it is unnecessary to carry the Regency Bill forthwith. The heir to the Throne being two years under age, provision must be made for the possibility of a minority. The Daily News says the Government will introduce a Bill to amend the Declaration by omitting the words "superstitious and idolatrous" and substituting "contrary to my belief."
