The first meeting between the Dictatorg took place on March 18 when plans. leading up to Italy's eventual entry into the war were drawn up. THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT RESHUFFLE, consequent on the realgnation of Mr. Neville Chamberlain, is generally warmly wel- comed by the Fress but certain sections suggest there should be more reorganisation arguing that the present changes are not dynamic, e non-removal of Lord Hallix from the Foreign Office is quer by one newspaper.
