STRENGTH OF THE CROWN NO FEAR OF FASCISM EARL BALDWIN’S VIEWS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received April 22, 12.30 p.m.' TORONTO, April 21 In opening the Toronto University lecture, series Earl Baldwin declared tliat any attempt to alter the British monarch ia! democratic constitution
would strain it to breaking point. That is why internally Britain has no dealings with Communism and Fascism. He added: “I have no fear myself, you will never get a Fascist movement with us unless we have disintegration through Communism, and if such disintegration appeared the forces of law and order would win. “The crown itself, while shorn of most of its prerogatives, never stood for more than it does to-day. “The head of the State, independent of politics itself, guarantees the stability of the British democracy. As long as he is there, there can be no Fascist or Communist government.”
