God is a loving Father but He is also a wise

MALTA
-PELL

Italy's demonstrations against Malta, as an
initial effort in her participation in the war,
are easily understood. The islands of Malta,
which include Coco, Comino, Malta itself,
Cominotto and the Rock of Filfia, in their
time have had an important role in interna-
tional affairs.
The National Geographic Society has prepar-
ed a bulletin on this strategic outpost of the
British Empire, in which it is revealed that
the island naval base is set in the storm cen.
ter of criss-crossing "life lines" which have
linked Europe and North Africa, the British
Isles and the East.
Says the bulletin:
cat Malta, within sixty miles Of the tin Of
Italian Sicily, is the Grand Harbor' of Valletta,
where the British Mediterranean fleet has been
based, with its huge drydocks, repair shops,
munitions and fuel stores. Long, deep and in.
denied into Norwegian-like fjords, this rock.
sheltered harbor still offers strong natural pro
lection against a surface enemy, as it did
in the days of the Phoenicians. There. the
crusading Order Of the Ruling knights of ST.
JOHN, with less than 10000 men, was able te
hold off som $4,000 Turks in the famous siege
of 1865.
"In a long and often violent history, Malta
has known the rule of Phoenicians, Carthagin
ians, Romans, Vandals and Saracens. Once I'm
der the Norman Counts of Sicily, it was pre-
scented to the Knights of st. John by Emperor
Charles V. Napoleon captured the island easil,
on his way to Egypt. Later, an uprising against
the French led to requests for British annexa
ton, finally put through in 1914 at the Con
gress of Vienna"
Naturally MUssoL1N1 believes that if he car
acquire Malta he will have struck a heavy blow
against Gibralta and the Suez. Quite as nat
urally, England will do what it can, in it,
harassed state, to prevent it's fall.
