Much to the discomfort of foreign merchants here the government of Emperor Halle Selassie suddenly in creased Import and excise duties, some by as muoh as 30 por cent. "The yield from, these ' taxes." stated the decree, "is to be used exclusively for the purchase of the National Bank of Abyssinia and es tablishment of 5. gold ourreucy." Control of the bank Is to .pass from its present Egyptian manage ment late In May. Hitherto Abyssinia has depend ed for what little money it needed .upon tho Marie Theresa . thaler, In troduced several years agq irom Austria. These coins were minted in Aden and brought across ' tho Red Sea.
