THE CORONATION OATH
CONTEMPLATES GKAMEt EXPLANATION TO CHUHCM LEADER. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, February 17. (Received February 18, at 11.30 a.m.)] Mr Baldwin’s secretary has sent • letter to the Rev. Longhottom, 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 rearrangement of the 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.”
Mr Longbottom urges that any altera* tion of the oath affecting the Protestant settlement should be published as aooe as possible.
