 In response to inquiries yesterday by the Earl of Perth, the British am- bassador, Count Galeazzo Ciano, for eign miniser, was reported to have said that Italy's action would result in greater prosprity for Albania.
 GOering At Tripoli
 Field Marshal Hermann Goering, German Nazi No. 2, arrived at Trip oli yesterday to inspect the defenses of Libya. Air Marshal Italo Balbo, governor general of Libya, boarded the steamship on which Goering ar- ived and welcomed him. Ships in the bay fired a salute and Goering was cheered by big crowd when he landed.
 Papers devoted considerable space to defendin gthe fact that the Italian attack on Albania had occurred on Good Friday. They said that Great Britain had previously conducted military operations on holy days.
 Some went luther in their articles. The newspaper Il Resto Del Carlino said:
 Easter, holy Easter, Christian and Fascist, finds us today ardently re- joicing in the lightning-like conquest beyond he Adriatic. You will find us in 1940 in new territories equally sa- cred to Italy beyond other seas."
 In a long and caustic editorial, Virginia Gayda wrote in the Gior- nale DItalia warning to the United States not to meddle in Italian affairs and to mind it's own business"
 Criticizing American press con- demnation of Italy's occupation of Albania, Gayda warned the United States that "it is not protected by distance" and to "heed timely ad- vice before those European nations which have been chosen as targetA by America are forced in their own defense to occupy themselves in the same spirit with American internal affairs"
 Gayda also warned France not to believe for a single moment Italy's natural aspirations" cam paign will be abandoned.

 The plane transport was effected in the same way as was the land- ing Saturday < a complete regi- ment of era grenadiers at IT. rama. V
 Before the transport program toda", units ol the grenadiers and the Versaglieri had pushed their way through the mountains to take up posts on the Greek and Jugoslav borders.
 At the same time, 1t was under stood, Italian artillery which had already reached Albania was of sufficient range, together with that of coastal batteries on the Italian side, to close up the narrow en- trance to the Adriatic without the aid of the Navy.
 Italian engineers, in their first inspection of the rich oil fields, found that no serious damage had been done to drilling machinery or other apparatus.
 Following up their occupation, Fascists began a program of speech making informing the Albanians of the importance of Fascism to their country.
 A tour by foreign correspondents of the Durazzo area confirmed that little damage had been done to buildings during the Italian occu- patton Friday. Water front buildings were scared by shells and machine gun bullets.
 Tirana awaited eagerly for the
