Discord in Commons as leaders clash over monarchy
London December 10. In the House of Commons voices rose in protest as James Maxton urged that the hereditary monarchy had outlived its usefulness. George Gallacher and George Buchanan assailed the crisis for lack of parliamentary consultation, while Winston Churchill defended no constitutional crisis and praised the king's sacrifice. An abdication act signoff was anticipated and a Saturday oath of allegiance to the new king was planned. Crowds gathered outside Buckingham Palace amid a light snowfall.
