(By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Rome, Sept. 12.--Benito Musso- lini,, Italian dictator, today relin- quished seven' of the eight cabinet , posts he holds in the Italian Fas- \ cist government, He remains prem- + ier and minister of interior, The undersecretary for the in. terior ministry, which portfolio the Duce retained, also was changed: in the move, which eomprised prob-* ably the most sweeping reorganiza- tion of the Fascist government since its inception. Dino Grandi, Undersecrtary for Foreign Affairs, will become for- eign minister; General Debono, minister of colonies; General Pjet- ro Gotzera, minister of war; Giuseppe Siriani, minister of the navy, and General Italo Balbo, min- ister of aviation; Sgr. Bianch, min- ster of public works; Iduseppe Bottai, minister of corporations, In explanation the suggestion was made in some quarters that the premier had held eight of the 13 posts in the Italian cabinet: for so long only because he wished to become acquainted with the various departments of adminis- tration in order to select the best fitted men to put at their head. His procedure in keeping the portfolio of interior is that which was customary in cabinets before: the advent of Fascism, Aside from the premiership the portfolio is considered probably the cabinet's most important post. - Missing Flier Found in North (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) The Pas, Man, Sept. 12--C.
