THE CHARGES EXPLAINED. ALMOST ENTIRELY POLITICAL. SMALL ALTERATION, OTHERWISE. (United Press Association —Copyright.) (Received This Day, 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, February! 17. Mr Stanley Baldwin’s secretary . has sent a letter to the Rev. Longbottom, leader of the Liverpool Protestant Reformers, saying that the changes in the Coronation oath occur almost entirely in that section having purely political, significance, in order to avoid possible misunderstandings in the Dominions concerning the new constitutional position. “ Some small re-arrangement of phraseology has been effected in the last section of the oath dealing with the maintenance of the Protestant reformed religion and the settlement of the Church of England. The form of oath to be used will be published before the date of the Coronation,” says the letter. Mr Longbottom urges that any alteration in the oatJi affecting the Protestant settlement should be published as soon as possible.
