Prime

Flatly
Declares
With
Cheers
Greeting
Announcement
LONDON,
Dec.
4:
(CP)
Prime
Minister
Stanley
llaltlwin
announced
in
the
House
of
Commons
today
that
the
government
declined
to
accede
to
the
suggested
compromise
by
which
King
Edward
VIII
might
marry
Mrs.
Wallis
Warfield
Simpson
and
keep
the
throne.
Premier
Baldwin
told
the
House
that
Mrs.
Simpson
could
become
Queen
of
England
only
by
assent
of
the
Empire
and
that
this
"would
not
be
forthcoming."
"In
view
of
the
widely
circulated
suggestions
as
to
certain
possibilities
in
the
event
of
the
King's
marriage,
I
think
it
would
be
advisable
for
ine
to
make
a
statement,"
Mr.
Baldwin
said.
"Suggestions
appeared
in
certain
or-
jans
of
the
press
yesterday
and
'
again
today
that,
ir
the
King
decided
to
marry,
his
wife
need
not
become
Queen.
These
ideas
are
without
any
constitutional
foundation.
There
b
no
such
thine
as
what
is
called
a
morganatic
marriage
known
to
our
law.
The
Koyal
Marriage
Act
of
1772
has
no
application
to
the
sovereign
himself.
Its
only
effect
is
that
the
marriage
of
any
other
member
of
the
Royal
Family
is
null
and
void
unless
the
sovereign's
consent,
ueuiareu
unuer
uic
Croat
Seal,
is
first
obtained.
This
act,
therefore,
has
nothing
o
do
with
the
present
case.
The
King,
himself,
requires
no
consent
from
any
authority
to
make
his
marriage
legal
but,
as
I
have
said,
the
lady
whom
he
marries,
by
the
fact
of
her
marriage
to
the
King,
necessarily
becomes
Queen.
She
herself,
therefore,
enjoys
all
the
status,
rights
and
privileges
which,
both
by
positive
law
and
tustoms,
attach
to
that
position
nd
with
which
wc
arc
familiar
in
the
cases
of
Her
Late
Majesty
Queen
Alexandra
and
Her
Majesty
Queen
Mary.
Her
children
would
be
in
direct
line
of
acces
sion
to
the
Throne.
The
only
possible
way
in
which
this
result
could
he
avoided
would
be
by
legislation
dealing
with
a
particular
case.
His
Majesty's
government
is
not
prepared
to
introduce
such
legislation.
However,"
the
Prime
Minister
continued,
"matters
to
be
dealt
ith
are
of
common
concern
to
the
Commonwealth
as
a
whole
and
such
a
change
could
not
be
effected
without
assent
of
all
the
Domln-
'ons.
I
am
satisfied
from
Inquiries

have
made
that
such
assent
would
not
be

I
have
felt
it
right
to
make
this
statement
before
the
House
adjourns
In
order
to
remove
a
wide
misunderstanding."
