Cabinet 10 Discuss
Italian Foreign Policy
by the Asseeiotsd Press


ROME, Oct. 22.-Premier Alcide
de Gasperi called his cabinet today
to consider issues of foreign policy
raised with Secretary Of State
Marshall's visit this week.
Despite Communist opposition,
the cabinet was expected to throw
its weight behind Foreign Minister
Carlo Sforza's view that Italy's best
hopes lay in solidarity with the
West.
There remained, however, the
possibility that Vice Premier
Giuseppe Saragat's independent
(anti-C Community Socialists, one of
three minor parties associated with
Mr.. de Gasperi's Christian Demo-
Gratis in the government, might balk
at tying up hard and fast with the
Western powers.
Socialist leaders, meeting for the
last two days to study their future
program were to hear Saragat re-
port after the cabinet meeting on
the meaning Of Gen. Marshall's
visit,

a somewhat strange happening

Of visiting the building to look

practice to visit the building at
noon. Last Sunday, however, when
he left church services, he thought
he would step over to the school

along. He arrived just in time to
prevent what would probably have
been loss of the building had his |
visit been few minutes later.
