BRITISH CRISIS
PUZZLED EXPECTANCY. PREMIER’S PROMISED STATEMENT. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received December 7, 12.55 p.m. LONDON, Dec. 0. Prayers for the King were offered in all the churches on this wintry Sunday, which has been a day of puzzled expectancy pending the result of the evening’s Cabinet meeting at which, however, no decision was reached regarding the issue between the King and the Government. Mr Baldwin will make a statement in the House ot' Commons on Monday in order to dissipate rumours and false impressions. To-morrow’s Cabinet meeting has been cancelled. Mr Baldwin will remain in Downing Street and will not see the King to-night. Mr Churchill’s statement of protest, Government circles feel, is based on a complete misapprehension of the relations between the King and tho Government. No conflict has arisen unless Cabinet’s reply to the morganatic marriage question can so be described.
