MOWAL OF ITALYS
INTENTIONS TOWARD
ETHIOPIA DEMANDED
Captain Anthony Eden of
Britain Crosses Strong
. Will of Mussolini
PRESSES FOR ANSWER
Il Duce Is Impatient at
Idea of Stating Well
Known Viewpoints
By ANDRUE BERDING
(Copyright 1935 by the Associatea
: Press.)
ROME.— () —Captain Anthony
Eden, crossing the :fitl‘Oflg‘ will of
Premier Benito Mussoclini, pressed
today for an avowal of Italy's in
tentions toward Ethiopia.
Great Britain’s special envoy and
Geoffrey Thompson, British expert
on African affairs, conferred with
Fulvio Suvich, Ttalian undersecre
tary for foreign affairs, before an
other interview with Il Duce him
self.
British circles said the prelimi
nary conference was called to de
termine to what extent Captain
Eden might question Mussolini on
his FEast African policies.
11 Duce Impatient
Ttalian official circles described
11 Duce as impatient at the idea
of stating Tltaly’s already well-de
fined viewpoints on the East Afri
can controversy, but it was agreed
that some main points of Italian
policy might be brought sharply
to the foreground. These were:
1. Italy will not consider any
“patched-up” settlement of her
differences with Ethiopia, such as
territorial concessions.
2. Ttaly will be satisfied with
nothing less than a protectorate
‘over Ethiopia, backed by Italy’s
strong military organization, and
Ethiopia’s expulsion from the Lea
gue of Nations on the ground that
she has violated the principles of
membership.
Captain Eden’s purpose in bring
ing the Ethiopian question into his
Rome conversatons was described
by British eircles as an attempt to
persuade Italy to honor Teague ef
forts to settle the berder dispute.

Hope That Delay of Last
Year Will Not Be
Repeated
EXPECTED JUNE 15
Extension of Bankhead
Act Was Ordered a
Few Weeks Ago
BY PERRY MULLEN
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
ATLANTA — (#) — Georgila
farmers are looking for the cotton
exemption certificates that were
expected by June 15 this year to
avoid a repetition of difficulties
experienced in disposing of the
erop ‘in some sections last year.
So far as knewn, none has been
received as yet by the farmers.
Under the Bankhead act a farmer
must present an exemption certifi
cate at the gin showing his staple
is tax free before he may sell his
product.
Dependent upon the sale of the
first bale to secure money for har
vesting the remainder of the crop,
small producers last year register
ed vigorous protests. The ginning
season in south Georgia gets un
der way in August and the certifi
cates were not recetved last ‘'year
until Sepilember.
Protest’s May Help I
The protests led to expectations
that certificates would be in the
hands of farmers earlier this year
if the Bankhead act was extended.
The extension was ordered a few
weeks ago.
" The law says 10,400,000 bales may
be produced in one year.
Allotments are based on the
average production over a five year
period. Allotménts made for the
1934 crop were not used this year
because a more equitable distribu
tion was desired.
T.ast year the time between pass
age of the Bankhead act and har
vesting was too close to permit a
lot of figuring and for that reason
every farmer in each county was
