NOT BEING HURRIED
TIME FOR CONSIDERATION
CABINET'S ADVICE NOT REJECTED
z LONDON, Dec. 6 The Australian Associated Press learns on the highest authority that the story published on Sunday that the King had reached a decision and that the next step lay with Mr. Baldwin, is only a clumsy guess. The position is still much as Mr. Baldwin outlined m the House of Commons on Friday. The suggestion that the King if being hurried is equally unfounded. His Majesty's only request for information related to the passage of a morganatic marriage law. The advice given thereon was indicated by Mr. Baldwin on Friday. The King is being given all the time he requires to make up his mind, and the Cabinet is awaiting his reply. There is no truth in repeated statements that His Majesty rejected Cabinet s advice. No other Government advice has been given, therefore no constitutional crisis in the broad sense of the term exists. No conflict has arisen unless Cabinet's reply to the morganatic marriage question can be so described.
