This measure is linked here with rumours that the British Troops ..the Suez Canal Zone, Including the Canal's southern exit, where only small detachments of troops have been concentrat ed so far, would shortly receive reinforcements.

The view generally held in political quarters here is that Britain, under no circninstances, would tolerate Italian control over the Lake Tana district, and is determined to occupy this region before the Italians arrive, until an agreement is reach- ed.

One of the "self help" measures that may be taken by the peasants if the Government is unwilling to pass the necessary laws," will be the closure of the frontiers against importation of agricultural products from abroad.
