Viscount Fitzalan appealed to Lord.Strickland, Premier of Malta, who was present in the House, to make some gesture that might al- leviate the present situation and which would place him in the posi- tion which he ought to hold, in. the Island of Maita. He believed much good could come of such a gesture, and that peace and spiritual welfare would be restored to that great his- toric island fortress.
Therefore he accepted, loyally and freely, any apparent or real diminu- tion of his previous authority.
