MINISTERS MUST REMEMBER KING AND COUNTRY LORD STRICKLAND’S VIEWS lAustralian and .V. Z. Press Association} LONDON, Friday. The Prime Minister of Malta, Lord Strickland, has arrived in London. He is to take a holiday in Westmorland, where he will remain until October. In the course of an Interview on the trouble between his Government and the Vatican, Lord Strickland said his ancestor. Sir William Strickland, was one of those who gave a pledge to Pitt that English Roman Catholics would take their religion from Rome and their politics from themselves. It was only on that principle that Roman < atholics could continue to be Ministers of the King. There was no questioning the infallibility of the Pope on matters spiritual, hut now that Hts Holiness had become a temporal sovereign it was all the more Important that Ministers should ’emember their pledge and duty to their King and country. They could not be expected to do anything which would interfere with that duty.
All the parties at present concerned were anxious to end the tension by Atablishing a hard and fast line of 'iemarcation between politics and religion.
