NEW MINISTERS
APPOINTED IN CHILE. ACTION AGAINST AXIS AGENTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, Noon.) SANTIAGO (Chile), October 22. Senor Joaquin Fernadez, Ambassador to Uruguay, has accepted the post of Foreign Minister. Senor Riesco, who previously had accepted the post, changed his mind and declined. Senor Francisco Solar, a Radical who was sworn in as Minister of Commerce last night, resigned because the governing board of his party refused him permission to hold- office. Senor Foilan Arrigada has been appointed instead. There are indications, says an Associated Press correspondent, that Chilo intends to deal firmly with Axis agents. The Minister of the Interior, Senor Paul Morales, used decree power in ordering the banishment of three Germans accused of espionage after a magistrate, on a legal technicality, had freed them of charges of secretly radioing information of ship movements. Senor Morales also ordered a .search of the homes of foreigners suspected of pro-Axis activities.
President Rios issued a statement that his purpose is to defend the territorial integrity of Chile and American solidarity.
