THE NEW CABINET
PERSONNEL ANNOUNCED. (Received This Day, 10.40 a.m.)) LONDON, July 26. The Rome radio announced the formation of a completely new Italian Cabinet as follows:— Prime Minister, Marshal Badoglio. Foreign Minister, Signor Guariglia. Home Affairs, Signor Bruno Fornaciari. Italian Africa, Senator De Gabba. - Justice, Signor Gaetano Azzarite. Finance, Signor D. Bartolini. War, General Antonio Sorice. Navy, Rear-Admiral Raffaele DeCourten. Air, General R. Sandalli. Education, Dr. Leonardo Severi. Corporations, Dr. Leopoldi Piccardi. Public Works, Dr. Domenico Romano. Agriculture and Forestry, Dr. Allesandro Brizi. Communications, General Frederico Amoroso. Popular Culture, Dr. Guido Rocco.
Exchange and Money, Dr. Giovanni Acanfora.
War Production, General Carlo Favagrosso.
Under-Secretary of the Premier’s Office, Dr. Pietro Baratano.
The Rome radio stated tonight that the King had nominated the members of the new Cabinet on the proposal of the Prime Minister. Somewhat naturally, their names are comparatively unknown, and the only clue to the possible significance of the appointments
which is immediately apparent is contained in the fact that the list includes several high, if unknown, officers. The others are civil servants, professors, etc. No doubt Mr Churchill, after a careful examination with the Cabinet of any new factors the constitution of the Italian Cabinet may reveal, will have an appropriate comment to make when he next addresses the House of Commons.
The Foreign Minister in the new Italian Cabinet was Mussolini's ambassador in Turkey after the war began and has also represented Italy in Paris, Madrid and at the Vatican, in all of which posts he came into contact with the Allies.
The new Propaganda Minister is also a diplomat by profession. He served as Consul in Malta just after the last war and has been on several missions for Italy—the London Naval Conference in 1930, a mission to America in 1931, and the Geneva Disarmament Conference in 1932. He also acted as Italian delegate to the League of Nations in 1935. Since 1936 he had directed the foreign Press service of Mussolini’s Ministry of Propaganda.
Nothing is known of Mussolini’s whereabouts.
