Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROME, September 19.-The building
of highway from the EritFeSn port OF
Assab (the town and district which
italian interests bought for about $4,000
ffty-nine years ago) into the interior
of Abyssinia is the first result of the
treaty made by Italy with Abyssinia on
August 20, 1928. This artery will re-
place the caravan route and will prove
advantageous for trade reasons, not only
to the italian colony OF Eritrea, but also
to Italy.
The road will not parallel the railway
between Qibuti and the Abyssinian
capital Of Addis-Abeba. but will pass
through the mountainous region, with
bessie as its terminal.
To Open Isolated District.
Gen. Gherardo Pantano, who has had
much colonial experience, Is most opii-
mistic regarding the future trading
which will result from the building OF
a good motor road over these noun
tains. It will open a district which has
been isolated and has been dependent
on itself for necessities. There has al
ways been q caravan route, but trade
between the interior and the coast was
Abyssinia, will have another commercial
outlet.
Up 10 the present there have been
three-the port of Nassau and that OF
Gibuti and the caravans from the val
ley Of the Nile. But none Of these COM
n1unicated directly with the district
which lies between Assab and Bessie
and where there are 100000 inhabi-
tarts
The imports would include cotton
goods farm implements. sugar, salt. Pc
troleum and domestic utensils. In re-
turn the district would yield cattlt.
skins, coffee. wax, honey, wheat, butter
and vegetables.
Rich Mineral District.
The region is fertile It includes the
valley of Lake Tzana and the vast trac:
of the Wollo Gala, which is well popu-
lated and rich in minerals, especially
phosphates. The imports of Assab will
increase still more. 1t now amounts 10
100000 lire year. but hte new road
will materially increase her exports, as
we'll as her imports.
The King Of Abyssinia is keenly in
terested in the new road which eventu-
ally may be extended to Addis-Abeba,
his capital The road will be built IL
five sections. The first; from Assab to
Ella, is about 50 miles: the second, from
Ella to Mazda Hassan Ucari. nearly 60
miles; the third. HaSSen Ucari to Vale
dell Jmminu, Dobi Gusrat, IS miles: the
fourth, Gusrat to Bate, nearly 100
miles, and the nth, Battle to bessie, SO
miles-in all, nearly 400 miles. In GER
tain sections the caravan route will be
used.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23, R)- Delayed d)-President Coolidge, in his Washington's birthday address declared that in the thought of Washington's day. an alliance meant a banding together of two or more nations for offensive and defensive purposes, against certain other nations, express or implied. He said: "It is purely an artific- iai creation. It had no reference to an association of practically all the nations in an attempt to recog- nize their common interests and discharge their common obliga- tions. While we should at all times defend cur own independence and maintain our own sovereignty, we should net forget that all na- tions, as we'll as individuals, have the natural and inalienable right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In the words of Jeffer- som We should fair disgracefully in our mission in the world if we did not protect those rights for ourselves.
