MUSSOLINI INTENT ON

FAR EAST SITUATION

Rome, June 9.

Signor Benito Mussolini to-day accepted his own resignation as Minister of Colonies, Corporations and Foreign Affairs, appointing his son-in-law, Count Ciano, to the Foreign Office.

Signor Mussolini still retains the Ministries of the Interior, War, Navy and Air, and thus he will be predominantly associated with the nation's armed forces in future.

The changes in the Cabinet have been rumoured for some time. Nevertheless, the announcement came as a surprise.

It is interpreted In political quarters | as an indication of an improved international situation, na it FA thought unlikely that Signor Mursolini would have abandoned the Foreign Office unless an atmos of nearer understanding was dis- cernible.
