PRO-ITALIAN AIMS
NEW ROME CABINET NEUTRALITY IN WAR (Reed. Nov. 2, 9 a.m.) NEW YORK, Nov. 1. A report from the Rome correspondent of the New York Times slates that Signor Mussolini's new appointees will give the Italian Cabinet a strong group of champions of neutrality, fortifying the Foreign Minister, 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.
Elements which were considered to be strongly pro-German have been replaced by men who are merely proItalian. However, as Signor Mussolini retains the key positions and Count Ciano remains Foreign Minister, it is obvious that 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 to avoid foreign entanglements.
