MALTESE SITUATION.
Strickland's Catholic Policy Attacked. POSITION EXAGGERATED. (Australian and r.Z. Press Association.) (Received 12.30 p.m.) ROME, September 20. An important Catholic newspaper at Bologna, the "Avenire D'ltalia," publishes an interview with Dandria, the Minister of Education in the Malta Ministry, preceding Lord Strickland's, Signor Dandria attacks Lord Strickland's Catholic policy. Whether or not there is now an election depended on how far the Imperial authorities would continue to stand by Lord Strickland's policy. The Pope had already issued a warning that the policy was harmful to the Imperial interests and not only of Malta. Signor Dandria hoped that Britain would listen to the voice of the oppressed people desiring liberation from a man whom the Maltese patriots regarded as an incubus and a scourge. The "Daily Telegraph's" Rome correspondent adds in this connection that although Signor Dandria's viewpoint was representative of an important section of the Maltese political life as well as of Vatican opinion, 1 they somewhat exaggerate the present Maltese situation.
