Lord Rothermere is head of Britain’s most powerful and influential chain of newspapers, of which the Evening News is the chief afternoon member. His statement follows: “You can- not smuggle the greatest living Englishman off the throne of England during the week-end. “A concerted effort is being made to do this. “I have just returned from a trip around the world. Wherever I went and to whomever I spoke, people of all nationalities, gave expression of unstinted praise and admiration for our King. “Time must be. given for a solution of this matter. The present haste is indecent and is giving rise to unpleasant rumors affecting high political and other personages. “No government which in this matter of supreme im--portance runs counter to the wishes of the people of England can survive.”

EDWARD MEETS PREMIER AGAIN AT BELVEDERE
Extort Abdication by Tory Leader ‘Who May Succeed Baldwin.
| Editorial, Page 10; Clapper, Page 9; Pegler, Page 10; Text of Churchill’s Manifesto, Page 3.
BY HENRY TOSTI RUSSELL (Copyright, 1936, by United Press)
LONDON, Dec. 5.—Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin made another personal appeal to King Edward VIII tonight = to give up Mrs, Wallis Simpson or his throne while Winston Churchill, chief of the King’s champions in Parliament, pleaded with the Cabinet to cease its efforts to force Edward to abdicate.
In a statement released to the press Churchill pleaded for “time and patience’ and vigorously criticised the government for its attitude in the crisis caused by the monarch’s desire to marry Mrs. Wallis Simpson.
“If the King’s abdication were too hastily extorted,” Churchill (said, “the outrage so committed would cast a shadow foryard across many chapters in the history of the British gtedy
The statément declared that the. government has no right to pressure the King] into, goegpting 4 the advice of his 4 ministers. ’ gE ir, vans : % {By soliciting beforehand assurances from the leader: of the opposition that he would not form an alternative administration in ‘event of a cabinet resignation, Baldwin thus confronts the King with an ultimatum,” Churchill said. : ‘fHowsoever this matter may turn, it is pregnant with calamity. . . . I plead and pray that time and tolerance will not be denied.”
King Edward, fighting for his sweetheart and his throne, has passed ‘responsibility for the emergency to the cabinet, it was learned on absolutely trustworthy authority. Not only has he refused stoutly to renounce Mrs. Simpson but he has no present intention of accepting the proffered alternative and abdicating, the United Press authority asserted. This is the news that Baldwin is believed to have told ; the cabinet at an emergency meeting.
“It’s Your Move,” King Says
Cheered by belief not only that daring, brilliant Churchill is ready if necessary to form a cabinet as King's man, but that he may swing popular support to him, the King is understood to have told Baldwin: ? “It’s your move.”
Only a small crowd braved the intermittent rain outside the palace, in contrast to the one that thronged the palace forecourt last night, shouting. “We want Edward,” and singing “God Save the King” and “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” This crowd walked to Downing Street, carrying banners sloganed, “Let the King Know You Are With Him” and singing “God Save the King” as they marched. Police reinforcements stopped’ them at the entrance to Downing Street. They kept on along Whitehill, chanting “We Want Edward” and “Edward Is Our King.” ! Next the crowd went to the home of the Duke 6f York = and sang the national anthem there, and chorused “We Wank Edwar There are three moves possible for the govirnment! 1. Continued pressure on the King to yield, renounce Mrs. Simpson’ and remain on the throne; 2. Retreat, believed impossible, from its that the King renounce Mrs. Simpson or get out; : 3. To resign as the first move toward forcing his abdication. The King was believed to be gambling on his charice of
