MALTESE AFFAIRS.
LORD STRICKLAND’S COMPLAINTS ROYAL COMMISSION SUGGESTED. LWted Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright. LONDON, Nov. 5. In a lengthy statement in the House of Lords, the ex-Prime Minister of Malta, Lord Strickland, called attention to 'affairs in that country. He complained of the banning of certain newspapers by the ecclesiastical authorities and of Italian imperialist and anti-British propaganda in Maltese newspapers printed in Italian, which he said were subsidised from abroad. Lord Strickland suggested the appointment of a Royal Commission to set up a new constitution. The Secretary of Slate for the Colonies, Lord Passfleid, in replying, said there was no question of any alteration in Malta’s position as one of the Dominions, but every means was being explored to re-establish the constitution on a Arm basis.
