troops from India to Malta is the
leading topic of political discussion

regard it as only a natari accompa-
niment of other precautionary
measures, and not indicative ot be-
iigerent inclination. Opponents of
the government regard it as another
■step in the development of a war-
like policy. They point to the fact
that the news was announced the
day after parliament’s adjournment
for exster Sunday, thus preventing
criticisms or explanation of-- .the
measure for three weeks. The opin-
ion is expressed that there is but
one determination of the cabine
which Lord Derby referred to in

signation of forfegn secretaryship.

about the way of getting into the
