ITALIAN CHANGES

FIVE RESIGNATIONS CAUSE SURPRISE

11 re-

Rome, July 20. Italy is dumbfounded as sult of the resignations to-day of Signor Grandi, Foreign Minister. Siguor

Mosconi, Minister for Finance. Signor Giuliano, Educa- tion, Signor Rocco, Justice, and Signor Bottni, Corporations. Mussolini becomes Foreign Minis-

ter.

The official explanation is that The resignations are part of Mussolini's scheme for changing the Government periodically in order to afford others a chance but a more general impression is I Duce's disappointment that Grandi and Mosconi failed to get a clean skate at Lausanne for the repara- tions and war debts.

In addition to five members of Cabinet a number of important secretaries have been under

new Finance appointed. The

Minister is Signor Guido Jung the expert on foreign trade, and the new ministers for Justice and Education are de Francisci und Ercole, who are reclors ut the Rome and Palermo Universities respectively. Mussolini also sumes the Corporations portfolio. The пезу under secretary for Foreign Affairs will probably be Suvich, who will represent Italy-at the Conferences abroad.

AR-

Grandi's resignation makes him

a favourite for the vacant um- bassadorship at London.

The resignations bombshell fol- lowed a minor sensation, due to the publication of a decree, establisht- ing Government control of the Stock Exchange transactions, under which the Finance Minister is authorised to examine stock trans- automa- fera. Stockbrokers will tically become public officials.- Renter.
