THEPOSITIONOFMALTA.

Whenonespeaksofthe"estats lishedreligion"oftheBritishEmpire, thereferenceisapttobeunderstood tobetotheChurchasbylawEstablishedafterthereignsofHenryVIII. andElizabeth.Itisnotsointhecase ofMalta,however,andtherebyhangs atale,saysMr.HerbertF.Wrightin the"Commonweal."

Thissmallgroupofislandscoveringanareaoflittlemorethan120

TheMaltesewereassistedbythe Britishinfreeingthemselvesfrom Napoleon'sdomination,andsubsequentlyofferedtoplacetheisland undertheprotectionoftheBritish crown.Theoffer,whichwasaccept- ed,wasmadewiththeunderstanding thattheirreligionandinstitutions, whichtheyhadpreservedintact throughcenturiesofforeignrule,were toberespected.TheChurchinMalta goesbacktothedaysofSt.Paul, and,hence,itisprobablethattheSee ofMaltaistheonlyextantApostolic See,withthesingleexeptionofRome. TheMalteseareover99percent. Catholic,andCanonLawisthelawof theland.Itisveryevident,therefore, thattheirreligionhasbeenfromvery distanttimesanextremelyvitalpart oftheirexistence.

TheNewConstitution.

Shortlyaftertheworldwar,theuniversalfeverof"self-determine-* thin"struckMalta,whichforanum- berofyearshadbeengovernedprac- ticallyasaCrowncolony.ANational Assembly,convokedonAugust8, 1918,framedanewdraftconstitution which,upontheearnestrecommenda- tionoftheGovernor,LordPlumer, wasingeneralfavourablyreceivedby hisMajesty'sGovernment.Article providedthat"thereligionofMalta anditsdependenciesistheRoman CatholicApostolicFaith."TheBritish Government,aftersixmonths'study,counteredwithadraftoftheletters patentnecessarytoestablishthenew constitution.ArticleI.oftheAssemblydraftdidnotappearintheGovernmentdraft,hutinsteadclause56 providedthat:

2.Nopersonshallbesubjectedto anydisabilityorexcludedfromholdinganyofficebyreasonofhisreli;fiotisprofession.

AlthoughLordPlumerapprovedof thissubstitution,"ageneraland genuineappealforanofficialacknowledgement"ledhimtobelievethat, inaccordancewiththeChiefJustice's suggestion,"itwouldbeadvantageous ifthewords'TheRomanCatholicrem ligionisthereligionofMalta,'could precede"theabovesubsectionsof clause56.Hereportedthatthe Archbishopwasquiteawarethatno
