Wallis Simpson Offers to End King Edward Romance
Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson, staying in a Cannes villa, issued a statement through Lord Brownlow offering to withdraw from the relationship with King Edward if it would resolve the crisis. The move comes as Britain weighs abdication risks and political reactions. Prime Minister Baldwin asserted the government will give the king time to decide, stressing the need to safeguard national interests while avoiding coercion. Hull outlined eight pillars of peace at Buenos Aires and urged international cooperation, including a general neutrality pact for American republics. Wheat farmers approved Secretary Wallace’s crop insurance and ever normal granary plan, establishing a 15-member committee to push legislation and report by January 15.
