Last week the Court, sounding not unlike a Psalmist lauding the Almighty, proclaimed the President's supreme might & majesty in a "vast external realm...

Since the beginning of time it has been sheer folly to advise a man to change his mind about marriage. But if, as it seems, a solution is not forthcoming, the only wise move is to take a lesson from Good Queen Bess, and procrastinate. As Professor McIlwain explains, the King cannot marry Mrs. Simpson till next April anyway. And if Mr. Baldwin persists in driving out the chief obstacle to his Conservatism...
