Army Encounters Obstacles En route

To Adan Ababa

Retreating" Ethiopians Leave Roads In Almost Impassable Condition—Celebrations Start Throughout Italy.

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) _ ROME, May 1—While unexpected difficulties retarded the Italian army's descent upon Addis Ababa, pent-up Fascist eagerness to celebrate the war’s climax tonight

burst its bounds.

The conviction that a dramatic climax of the war had arrived was particularly widespread in northern Italy. In Turin, Milan and Genoa shops were closed, flags were raised from every staff and spontaneous celebrations were conducted by crowds gathered in the streets.

Authoritative sources strove to check the advance’

celebrations, suggesting it might be “seven or eight days” before Marshal Pietro Badogiio’s columns enter the cap- ital of Emperor lialle Selassie.

Meanwhile,’ in Ethiopia, Badoglio’s men encountered unexpected obstacles as they sweated and strained to pro- duce the occasion the home population anticipated. As a motorized column approached Addis Ababa its progress was retarded by great holes blasted in the road by the

retreating Ethiopians.

This capital is virtually deserted except for a large force of police delegate‘ to maintain order. Thousands of natives have fled and most foreigners have sought rofugo in the various legations.

Potato Tariff Revision Made Necessary By U. S. Trade Agree- ment.

The reason for reverting to the countervailing duties first imposed in his last budget in 1930 on cut flowers, potatoes and eggs was thus explained by Finance Minister Dunning in his Budget speech:

“The late administration in wip- lug out in Sept, 1930, the counter- vailing provisions of the May bud- get did not provide, under the in- termediate tariff. a duty in line with the general tariff on eggs and failed to provide any duty what- soever on potatoes or cut flowers.

"In so recommending today, may I make clear that our attitude can- tinues to be that of 1930; we do not desire or intend to raise tar. iffs; we do by the countervailing duties invite other countries to l7:lng their tariffs down to the level of ours . . .

“Regarding today's tariff propos- als. may I say that these are formulated on the principle that the most enduring kind of progress is orderly progress-and that ap-
