ITALIAN CABINET.
CHAMPIONS OF NEUTRALITY. PRO-GERMANS OUSTED. NEW YORK, Oct. 31. A report from Mr Matthews, the Rome correspondent of the New York Times, states that Signor Mussolini’s now appointees will give Cabinet a strong group of champions of neutrality, fortifying Count Ciano in his present foreign policy, strengthening the armed forces against any eventuality and giving Signor Mussolini collaborators who have all been party leaders from the earliest days of Fascism. The elements considered strongly pro-German have been replaced by men who are merely pro-Italian. However. as 11 Duce retains the key positions and Count Ciano remains Foreign Minister, it is obvious the changes are only administrative, and do not signify a change of policy, but merely remove the possibility of friction and misunderstandings of Italy’s firm determination to keep neutral and avoid foreign entanglements.
