LONDON, Aug. 16
Lord Strickland, Premier of Malta, has arrived in London from Malta- on a hoik.ay to Wes.mureland, and remains until October.
Loid Strickland said that his ancestor, ,Sir Strick.and, was one of those who gave a pledge to "William Pitt that the English Roman Catholics would take their religion from dome and their politics from themselves. He continued: “Jt is only on this principle ilmt Roman Caho ies can continue to be Ministers of the King. There is no questioning of the infallibility of the Pope on matters spiritual ; but now that His Holiness has.become a temporal sovereign, it is ail the more important that Ministers should remember their pledge , and duty to their King and country.” Ministers, he added, could not be expected to do anything which interfered • with that duly. All the parties at present concerned were anx ous to encl the tension in Malta by establishing a hard and fast line of demarcation between politics and religion.
