(CP)
Mrs.

War-field
Simpson
announced
today
that
she
is
ready
to
give
up
King
Edward
VIII
so
that

may
retain
his
Throne.
Mrs.
Simpson,
in
a
signed
statement
handed
to
the
press
by
Lord
Bronlow,
said:
"Throughout
the
last
few
weeks
I
have
invariably
wished
to
avoid
any
action
or
proposal
which
might
hurt
or
damage
His
Majesty
or
the
Throne.
Today
my
attitude
is
unchanged
and
I
am
willing;-
if
such
Taction
Will
sdlve
the
problem,
to
withdraw
forthwith
from
a
situation
which
has
become
un-hanuy
and
untenable."
The
statement
was
given
out
by
Bronlow
at
the
gates
of
the
villa
where
Mrs.
Simpson
has
been
staying.
He
made
no
comment
after
reading
it
aloud.

Statement
by
Premier

Today
Failed
To
Clear
Atmosphere
Very
Materially
As
Far
as
is
Known,
His
Majesty
Is
Still
Adamant
LONDON,
Dec.
7:
(CP)
Prime
Minister
Stanley
Baldwin
told
the
House
of
Commons
today
that
the
government
will
not
press
King
Edward
for
a
final
decision
at
this
time
on
his
plans
for
a
possible
marriage
with
Mrs.
Wallis
Warfield
Simpson.
No
solution
to
the
crisis
between
the
King
and
the
government
has
yet
been
reached
it
is
evident
despite
two
cabinet
sessions
yesterday
and
consultation
with
the
King's
legal
adviser,
Walter
Monckton,
Attorney
General
for
the
Duchy
of
Cornwall.
Despite
expectations,
Premier
Baldwin's
speech
to
Parliament
on
the
matter
of
the
constitutional
crisis
failed
to
clarify
the
breach
between
the
government
and
the
King
very
materially
except
to
indicate
that
the
cabinet
was
not
seeking
speedy
abdication
of
the
King.
One
high
source
had
said
that
the
King
was
believed
to
have
made
his
decision
and
that
it
would
be
made
known
by
Mr.
Baldwin
today.
The
Prime
Minister's
statement
did
'
not
bear
this
out.
Reading
from
manuscript,
Pre
mier
Baldwin
said
to
the
House
today:
"I
am
glad
to
have
occasion
to
make
a
further
statement
on
the
cabinet's
position,
In
considering
this
whole
matter,
It
has
always
been
and
remains
the
earnest-desire-
of
the-goverhment
to
afford
His
Majesty
the
fullest
opportunity
of
weighing
his
decision
which
involves
so
directly
his
own
future
happiness
and
the
interests
of
all
his
subjects.
"At
the
same
time
the
government
cannot
but
be
aware
that
any
considerable
prolongation
of
the
present
state
of
suspense
and
un-
;rtalnty
would
Involve

Imperial
Interests.
Indeed,
there
Is

upon
this
aspect
of
the
situation
than
His
Majesty
'ilmself.
"In

If
any,

would
feel
it

In

light
of

"I

without

feels
our
deep,
respectful
sympathy
with
His

at
