Premier Mus solini reorganized the entire lead-) ership of the fascist regime today [ in a shake-up of cabinet, party and top military posts unprece dented in its sweeping scope. Seven cabinet ministers, the | secretary of the fascist party, the chief of staff of the army, air force and fascist militia, and four under-secretaries of state, were! replaced in the drastic reshuffling. In addition Mussolini himself yielded the portfolia of minister 1 for Italian Africa to General At tillo Teruzzi. Chief among those shifted are two fascist notables widely cred ited with pro-German tendencies, I.t. General Acliille Starace. re lieved of the secretaryship of the fascist party "at his own re-: qufest," and Dino Alfiieri, minister] of popular culture (propaganda*. Starace was named chief of the general staff of the fascist mili tia: Alfiieri. ambassador-wailing assignment. Although some observers saw in the shake-up evidences of a lessening of German influence in Home foreign diplomatic circles here generally attributed it to conditions within the fascist par ty and government and consider-, ed it without bearing on foreign! policy. / However, it was noted that it came shortly after the German ambassador, Hans-George Victor von Mackensen. had left for Ber lin on Sunday for, his embassy said, "an extraordinary reason." (Berlin officials said they were unable to comment at present 011 the cabinet shake-up. They indi cated also that Von Mackensen's visit to Berlin was a routine one and not connected with the cabi net events). (In Paris French diplomatic quarters welcomed the Rome i shake-up asserting that II Duce'sj1 purpose was to create a "govern ment of neutrality"). WAR IN EUROPE Paris. Nov. 1.? Neutral reports * reached Paris today that Chan- 1 ?sellor Adolf Hitler, finally heed- 1 ing warnings of his general staff, appears to have postponed until I next year any major German of fensive on the Western Front af ter exaiuing the results of Nazi "feeler" attacks during the past week.

The French contended, howev er. that the German initiative of [ the last L' 4 hours has been design ed merely to -liberate the last ter- ; ritory of the Saar Valley remain ing under fire of Allied guns and I that the Nazis after breaking the French grip on Saarhruecken. were trying to liberate Saarlau- 1 tern and the nearby industrial j towns of Voelklingen and Kehl- j ingen. The Germans also were said to be striking almost daily in efforts to rout the French com pletely from Warndt* Forest. The recent German attacks on the lthiiie-Moselle front, accord ing to the neutral reports, were said to. have convinced the Ger man high command and finally Hitler that without proper arlll- . lery preparations sufficient to blast holes in the Maginot Line any immediate offensive would cost enormous casualties. The decision to delay^the anti cipated German offensive was said to have been taken after a Nazi "tryout attack" along the Moselle Valley on October 16 aud around Zweibrueclcen. the following day.

The Finnish people, he added, were ready "to throw into the scale all we own" for these rights. Disclosing for the first time from the Finnish side some of the details of the fcussla-Finntsh negotiations, now almost a month old, Erkko said Finland has "de clarad her readiness to make such arrangements as, above all, strengthen the safety of Lenin grad and at the same time In crease the safety of the Gulf of Finland and offer to the Soviet the possibilities of Increasing this safety." " Referring to Molotoff's mention of the dangerous position of Len ingrad. only about 20 miles from the Finnish territory, he further said that It a third power tried to attack Russia from Finnish ter ritory Finland would be under obligation as a neutral to prev ent It with all her means.
