BRITISH THRONE STILL STANDS
By Grattan O'Leary, in The Ottawa Journal
In the 51 years of its story The
Journal has chronicled more than ones
event now inscribed indelibly on the
scroll of history. But never in that
periocl did it come to its readers with
tidings more fateful, more strange,
more freighted .with pathos and dra-
ma, than those which told on its
birthday of the abdication of a Bri-
tish Ring. For that event, indeed, one;
must turn for a parallel not to a
thousand years of British history, 1
but to the Holy Roman Empire itself.
More than 400 years ago Charles V
went from his throne to a monastery,)
Of the story, with its mixture of
irony and tragedy, with all the
thoughtsit summoned of what might
have been, there is little to be said.
Relieving its solemnity, a Light be-
fore its background of regret and

pity, was the spectacle of the Bri-
tish Parliament and people meeting
sorrow and crisis with courage and
dignity: that old traditional restraint
and self-mastery which make British
genius for government.
In the Ring's leave-taking of his
people, expressed in noble English,
shot through with pathos, the sever-
est critics of his conduct must have
found something for sympathy. Who
will c ast the first stone? Yet it was
in the story told' by Baldwin, .told as
only Baldwin could tell it, that one
found the heart of the issue: the rev-
elation of the core and soul of this
thing • which has distressed a nation
and an empire.
No need here' to review Mr. Bald•
win's story. One passage from it,
though, in the tale of his pleadings
with the King to remember his place
and duty, may be quoted:
"I reminded .him of what I have of-
ten told him and his brothers in the
years past, and -that's this:

of tragedy and of pity. Of that, and
forgiveness. Not to any of us is it
given to search the heart of any man,
nor to judge. His responsibility is to
history. The most we may say of
him now, or that we should say of
him, is to speak a wish that time will
bring for him an oblivion of yester-
day, that in the path he has chosen
will be something of happiness. "In
my End was My Beginning" was the
motto of Mary, Queen of Scots. That
can be our hope for Edward of Eng-
land.
This, too, is a devastating answer
to the dictatorships; a devastating
answer to all who pathetically misun-
derstood British history and the Bri-
tish character.
The British throne remains. It
will remain—will stand and grow
stronger than before. It will grow
stronger because of this tremendous
and unforgettable lesson in what it
is and what it should be: the symbol
of the empire's unity—and its ser-
vant.
Something else has been gained.
That something is the demonstration
of the authority of the 'Cabinet and
House of °Commons, that the British
people would ever stand for a dictat-
orship, no matter whence its source,
have had their answer. That answer.
is being pondered today in Berlin, in
Moscow, in Rome.
Thus the irrevocable march of his-
tory. "So fleet the works of men..."
But also:
!'The moving finger writes: and
having writ,
Moves on;, nor all your piety nor
twit
Shall lure it back to cancel half
a line.
Nor all your tears wash out a
word of it."
Tonight the , blinds of Fort Bel-
vedere will be . drawn, and twilight
will encircle its tragedy. Pilgrims
perhaps will go there to think sadly
of one who has gone from it, of the
players he conceived, of the passion-
ate words which once lifted up their
hearts and consecrated them, if only
for one short hour, to something
