ABYSSINIAN EMPEROR HARD-UP
SAYS HE MUST ECONOMISE (By Air Mail—From A Special Correspondent) LONDON, 22nd August. Emperor Haile Selassie of Abyssinia, is house-hunting in London because he finds living in hotels too expensive. In an interview at the Abyssinian Legation, he said: “I spent a very large part of my fortune in the struggle for independence for my country. Now I have to economise, as best I can. I want the home purely as a temporary residence for myself and my family while we are in England and as soon as I have bought it the Empress will come over from Jerusalem. “I do not intend to settle in England. I still dream and hope of returning to Abyssinia. At present I have not the means.”
