IF BRITISH LEFT
Importance of Malta as Base FRENCH RECOGNITION London, Oct. 27. In a speech in Malta condemning the Nelsonian school of thought in England, which advocated the abandonment of 1 Malta and the blockading of the Mediterranean *by means of bases at the entrances, Lord Strick-

The possibility of war in the near future was indicated by the flow of capital into English banks and the masses of bullion in the Bank of France.
