Harar, Ethiopia, Oct 30--Ethio- plans on the southern front are be- lieved today to have made a sortie from strongholds at Gorrahei and Daggah Bur to start an offensive which may either indefinitely delay the Italian advanve or endanger the Philippians own position imme- diately southward of Harar and Jijiga.
 Defeat would bring the Philippians back immediately on the AddiS aba-Djibouti railway which is the prime objective of the Italians from the south.
 It is indicated that Ras Nassibu, commander in chief on the eastern and southern fronts, may have per- mitted the Italians to advance along the Fafan and Webbe Shibeli river villages until they thought Q defense was practicable.
 It was impossible to confirm in- dications of the advance. The great est secrecy surrounds all troop movements in this region because of the fear or aerial bombardment. Government transport is forbidden to enter Harar, where Is might be trapped by the collapse of buildings into the narrow, twisting Main street.
 I was given an indication of the extraordinary precautions when I entered the city from the out skirts this morning. Sentries stren- uously objected to my entrance, ex- plaining "only real subjects of the Negus are permitted"

alone would be able to handle any navy problems.
 Future Proposals Judged A peace plan, worked out by French and British experts at Paris and disclosed by the French foreign office, is described here as the formulation of yardstick by which future Italian proposals might be judged; and incidentally one on whose basis a peaceable set- clement could be reached without destroying League of Nations pres- tige.
 The Paris reports that the plan must still be accepted by Britain seemed misleading. Rather, it was indicated here, the plan so far as it goes is acceptable to Britain. But there is no thought that it will be acceptable to Mussolini.
 Hence, if Hoare and Laval do un- dertake a peace offensive" at Geneva, in connection with the im- position of an economic boycott, it is indicated that the plan they might offer would not likely be ac- ceptable to Mussolini but would put further pressure on him.
 That the pressure, economic, moral and diplomatic, will be ef- hcacious is believed certain here.
 Must Exert More Pressure
 The belief seems to be that con- siderable more pressure must be eX- erted. But there is no desire to em- barrass Mussolini or Italians gen. erally and France and Britain will be ready at any time to make or re- ceive peace offers which offer the slightest hope of proving acceptable to the ideas they, the league and Ethiopia have of justice.
 Anthony Eden, minister for league affairs, may make his last visit to Geneva this week in his present capacity. Usually well informed sources report that after the elec- tion of November IA his post may be abolished, in which event he would be given another cabinet post.
 A charge by David Lloyd George, independent liberal leader, that the governments policy permitted oil, food, cotton and coal to go Italy despite prospective penalties, brought a reply today from Sir John Cadman, chairman of the Anglo-Iranian Oil company.
 In an interview in the Daily Her aid, Sir John confirmed the con- tinued sale of oil to Italy but pointed out that the sale was in full accord with the proprieties be- cause a ban on export of oil to Italy had not yet been imposed.

 Rome, October 30 - (UP) -Italy steeled itself today for collective defense against the collective pen alties of the League of Nations.
 A spontaneous boycott of foreign goods spread rapidly through the country.
 Government decrees putting the whole country on what amounted to 8 war time basis as regards pur- chase of essential foods were ac- cepted everywhere apparently in spirit of sacrifice for the national goods, a spirit which was especially apparent among working classes.
 Conversations of men in the street indicated 8 general feeling that sac- rifices must be made if the country desired its campaign against Ethio- pia to succeed.
 People Defy Them All
 Popular defiance of the league and European powers was reflected in newspapers. A typical statement was that of the Popolo Di Roma:
 "Only those unfamiliar with the qualities of self denial of the Italian people could imagine that sanctions would cause their endurance to waver. Privation may be hard. But 1t will act to spur our moral ener- gies."
 A day before the league was to vote an economic boycott against Italy, Italians were imposing a boy colt of their own.
 No one doubted that the penal ties were coming. Hope that any new peace plan might prove accept able to all interests in the Ethiopian crisis had gone.
 Buy Italian" became a national motto and the first line of defense women refused to buy foreign gowns, perfumes. soaps, tea, Men refused to smoke foreign cigar cites or drink imported liquors or whiskies.
 Extraordinary efforts are being made to find substitutes for essen- tial products which in weeks or months to come may be forbidden Italy by league countries which con- trol them.
 Every Citizen Must Aid
 Every citizen will be asked to re- duce his consumption of any pro- duct of which there may be short age. Premier Benito Mussolini is ready to put the ration system into effect if necessary, but he is confi- dent that the spirit of sacrifice ot people generally will make it neces- sary unless there is a real emer- gency.

 As for the penalties already op- erative, 40 nations have imposed the arms embargo against Italy and 36 have shut off financial and credit relations.
 Some delegates, arriving here for tomorrow's meetings, believe that the boycott of Italian goods will produce an immediate, notable ef- feet on Italy's economic situation and that if it is conscientiously ap- piled it will seriously cripple Italy within three months.
 Nations Against Italy
 Nations which had declared their readiness to impose economic pen- alties even in advance of tonor- rows meeting include:
 Great Britain, France, Russia, Netherlands, Swithzerland, Czech oslovakia, Rumania, Jugoslavia. Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Esthoria, Latxia, Poland, Lithuania, Belgium, Luxem- bourg, Portugal, Australia, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Afghan istan, Liberia, Guatemala, Uruguay, Argentina, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Canada and Siam.

 Will Be More Cruel
 Il Tevere, in bitter editorial to- day, said that Italy would be more cruel against those who imposed penalties on her that against the Philippians.
 Tomorrow" read the editorial, "the experts of humane war;. the technicians of judicical aggression, of economic strangulation, will meet at Geneva.
 "Italy salutes them with extreme disdain and with a reaffirmation of its intention to apply well calcu- lated and well measured reprisals against them.

NEW DEAL FIGHT
 FOR AAA TAXES
(Continued from Page l.)

portance of the cIause-known as the general welfare" clause-the attorneys said they considered the Hoosac mills case, which will be argued Dec. g, as the most impor- tant issue before the high court since the Dred Scott decision. The attorneys expect that the court will define the welfare clause for the first time since it took over the function of reviewing legislation.
 Originated in Mass.
 The Hoosac mills case originated in Massachusetts, after the AAA in- stituted its processing tax system for benefit payments to farmers in connection with the agricultural control program. The government sought to collect unpaid processing taxes and a penalty from the mills, which contested constitutionality of the action. The appeal was carried to the supreme court.
 The Constitution authorizes coi1- gress "to lay and collect taxes to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States" Jus tice department attorneys who have been concentrating on the Hoosac case contend 1t can not be defended without relying principally on that clause.
 Many times the high court has been asked to justify some act of congress on the general welfare clause but it always has found some other principle on which to dis pose of the suit.
 Case Is Important
 The importance of this case can be seen, the government attorneys contend, in the fact that the gov- ernment carries on many activities not specifically authorized in the Constitution and valid only under the welfare clause.
 Among the activities which they included in this group are: The en- tire agriculture department with its educational work and extension di- visions; the labor department with its mediation service, bureau of labor statistics and mothers pen- sions; the Smithsonian Institute; and the vast machinery now being set up for administration of the social security act.
 If the court holds congress is unable to lay a tax which will pro- vide for benefit payments to a specific group of the people. that is, the farmers, any of the activities mentioned and many others would be subject to challenge, according to the government legal experts.
 Since last spring, when it became evident the Hoosac mills case prob- ably would be the test case on the validity of the processing tax, a committee of government lawyers has met almost daily to discuss problems and procedure.
 Lawyers Were Busy
 That committee includes James W. Morris, special assistant to the attorney general. Andrew D. Sharp, Robert N. Anderson, Alger Hiss and Sewell Key, all of the justice de- partment: and Prev Savoy of the AAA legal staff. Assistant Attor- ney General Frank J. Wideman and Solicitor General Stanley Reed have consulted with the group.
 The committee advised United States attorneys on defense moves in connection with the flood of in- junction suits which poured over the AAA beginning in June as . re- suit of the pending AAA amend ments. More than 1900 such suits caused processing tax collections after July to drop to $49,034. .696, as against collections of $i68, ,987, ,552
