ad to AddlS ADaDa, expected some years and the young pioneers with guns ready, will have to pacify their sections as did the American pioneers of 8 century ago.
 Those who wish plantations will be sent to the blistering lowlands where white men find it difficult tc work. Those who wish machine farming will go to sections more ap- propriate. Fruit growers will be granted land in portions suitable foI fruit growing, and ranchers will gel the hilly ranges where native cattle have fattened for centuries.
 The government control of the colonization movement will be pa- ternalistic. Care will be taken that fruit growers do not go to territories where fruit cannot be raised. The government does not want to have diSgruntled pioneers who have beer settled in the wrong parts of the empire.
 Experiment Stations Set Up
 Large experiment stations already are being established and many more are planned to determine ex- actly what is the most suitable pro- duct for each region. Colonists will tell the government what they wist and know how to raise, and the gov ernment will tell them where to go
 The ranges now are over-run witt scrubby native horses and cattle but the government already ha. plans to import better stock which will thrive at this altitude and eli mate.
 The Crown Lands in the fertile provinces will be the first settled In general, the most fertile country in regions most accessible will be opened first. In these the first choice of land will be given to sol diers who have expressed desire tC remain in this country. Of the reg iments of Italians recruited abroad (outside of Italy) 700 already have decided to remain, while the per centage is equally high for the sol- diers who came from the mother land.
 Soldiers Get First Choice
 After the soldiers have taken their choice, other colonists may select land from government holdings or buy direct from the natives under government supervision. Up to now there have been no restrictions against foreigners settling in Ethio- pia, but it is believed their applica- tions will be delayed until after the Italians have been settled. Primar- fly, Italian East Africa is for Ital- ians and the government is certain to make sure that not too many o1 its advantages fall into foreign hands.
 Natives will not be deprived ot their lands without due process of law. Those who persist in opposi- tion to the new regime are certain to have their lands confiscated. Those who submit to Italy and CO., operate Loyalty will be paid in full for their holdings.
 Must Pay Small Tax
 Land can be obtained in two ways by those wishing to own it. The government will permit 8 man to settle on a piece of land-the size to be determined by his financial abil- ity to operate it-and the settler will be required to pay small yearly tax for a number of years. depend- ing on the value of the land. When the period has expired the settler will receive full title to the land, Land also may be purchased direct ly from natives but official approval must be obtained first.
 Speculation in land will be rigidly prohibited. A man may have as much as he wishes to operate him. self but in city and manufacturing districts no large holdings will be permitted. The government will help settlers to obtain land in a section best adapted to the type of produce in which he is interested. If neces- sary, he will receive financial aid to build cottage, necessary buildings and to purchase farm equipment. Repayment to the government will be over long period.
 To Exploit Oil Resources Government officials also said that the mineral and petroleum re- sources will be exploited in full. Italy wishes to become independent of all other nations and the petroleum de- posits of Ethiopia will be long step in that direction. To what extent foreign capital will be invited to participate in the exploitation ot mineral or other resorces has not been decided.
 The wild animal life and flora peculiar to Ethiopia will be preserv- ed. Parks and preserves will be set apart where animals can live and flowers grow undisturbed.
 Finally, the natural wonders oi the new empire will be opened to tourists for the first time The ave- some mountains, which caused SC much ink to flow when correspon- dents were following the war, will be exploited. Not only the beauties of Ethiopia but the great coloniza- tion movement will be on exhibit for the world.
 This is probably the first planned colonization movement of moderr times and Italy is determined that 1t will be an undertaking to wir plaudits from the rest of the world
