GENERAL’S ECLIPSE
REASONS FOR DISMISSAL OF ITALY’S WAR MINISTER
POSSIBLE NAZI DEMAND
London, Feb. 1
“The eclipse of General Cavallero deserves more attention than is usually given to the frequent reshuffles in Fascist Italy,” says the Daily Telegraph. “Cavellero is an officer whose nersonal popularity is considerable, whose pro-Germanism is reported to be lukewarm and who before the war, knew and admired things British.
“Rumours have been afloat lately that in certain circumstances he might play a far more important role than Minister of War if the Italians extricated themselves from the Nazi stranglehold and endeavoured to direct they own policy regarding the United Nations.”
That Cavellero suffers eclipse may mean that Mussolini is tired or even suspicious of him, but there is probably for more behind the change. We may regard is as largely dictated from Berlin, where Cavallero is suspected of harbouring ambitious designs or of being frankly defeatist.”
