STRICKLAND MUST GO
NO PEACE OTHERWISE
BRITISH MANA IN MALTA
United I'ress Association—By Electric Telt* graph—Copyright. (Received 23rd June, 11 a.ra.) ROME, 22nd June. "It is doubtful whether peace and harmony can exist in Malta, while Lord Strickland remains in power," says Monsignor Robinson, reporting to the Vatican, after a visit to Malta as Apostolic - Delegate. He adds: "Lord Strickland spends five days a week in the law courts lighting others. He is so accustomed all his life to a fight, that if it should stop, he would almost die. He considers those opposing him in the slightest degree as enemies. He would sacrifice any individual, policy, or principle for love of power. He is cunning ' without scruples. .It is not an exaggeration to say that Malta is subjected to a regime of. terror and inquisitorial despotism. Opposition is disarmed and newspapers muzzled. If the British Secretary of State understood the extent which Lord Strickland has damaged Britain's prestige, he might force him to modify his policy" or find a way of eliminating.him from the political field."
