tions: formerly was undersecretary in
that ministry.
The same royal decree announced the
ministry of public instruction hence
forth will be known as the ministry OF
national education, and that the min
istry of national economy will be known
as the ministry Of agriculture and
forests.
Belluzzo Is Replaced.
Prof. Deputy Giuliano Balbino will be-
come minister Of national education,
replacing Signor Giuseppe Belluzzo.
Deputy Giacomo Acerbo will become
minister of agriculture and forests, re-
placing Signor Martelh, who was min
lister Of national economy.
Deputy Landro Arpinati will become
undersecretary for interior, replacing
Giacomo Suardo, who has held that
post.
The new ministers will take oath
before King Victor Emmanuel Monday.
In explanation, the suggestion was
made in some quarters that the premier
had held of the 13 posts in the italian
cabinet for SO long only because he
wished to become acquainted with the
various departments of administration
in order to select the best fitted men
to put at their head.
Follows Precedence.
His procedure in keeping the port
folio Of interior is that which was
customary in cabinets before the ad-
vent of F'ascism. Aside from the pre-
miership, the portfolio is considered
probably the cabinets most important
post.
Among the new appointments the
most noteworthy was that of UnderSec-
rotary Bino Grandi to become foreign
minister. This appointment was &C
cepted as removing the likelihood Of
his becoming an ambassador to some
important capital, possibly Washing
ton. There had been reports to this
effect recently.
Among the more interesting of the
appointments was that of Giacomo
Acerbo to become minister Of agricul-
ture and forests. Deputy Acerbo first
was undersecretary to Mussolini when
the Duce first attained power.
Balbo Is Prominent Figure.
Gen. Debono, the new secretary for
colonies, originally was director general
Of police and then Governor Of Tripoli.
Gen Italo Balbo, new minister of avi-
alton, has been one of the most promi-
nent figures in Italian and European
ministerial life recently in his post of
undersecretary for aviation. He visited
the United States last year to study
American aviation and exhibitions of
American plane constructors.
Today's general cabinet change was
the most sweeping in the composition
Of the Fascist ministry since July Q,
1928.
A reorganization then left the Duce
holding six portfolios, those Of foreign
affairs, the interior, war. marine, avia-
ton and corporations. Later he as
Sumed the portfolios of the colonies and
then of public works.
This gave him out Of Is votes in
the cabinet council
Today's changes maintained at their
posts Minister Of Justice and Cults Rue
CO. Minister Of Finance Mosconi and
Minister of Communications Ciano.
Wants to Rotate Leaders.
This reorganization of the cabinet was
thought TO be for the same reason as
the last, namely, that the Duce wishes
to rotate the best men in the Fascist
party through the Offices in order to
build up an elite skilled in the art Of
government.
The other undersecretaries were as
follows:
Foreign affairs. Deputy Amedeo FAM;
colonies, Deputy Alessandro Lessona;
war. Deputy Angelo Manaresi; navy,
Senator Gioacchino Russo; public
works, Deputy Araldo di Crollalalza;
