July 4.—(AP)— Smoke froth the battle of cigarette prices ar.d taxes is getting into the eyes of tobacco men, who are laboring for a settlement before the new 1935 crop comes to market this fall. * A thrust against Federal processing tax-= under the agricultural adjust ment act has been taken by Clay Wil liams. vice chairman of the board of H J Reynolds Tobacco Company and former XRA executive, who claims continuation of processing taxes win cost growers $15,000,000. Future status of the tax was fore, cast by Standard Statistics Company :n a survey which found that “al though some reduction in processing - axes is possible on October 1. 1933. early abolition of the levy or substan tia! relief therefronj: appears un likely" Williams computed the loss to grow ers on the theory that tobacco buyers !r the market this fall would hold out *'* ce ßts per pound, the amount of r ~ h e tax. from the total amount avail ai)!? for purchasing tobacco, the fund to be Paid to the government if the Processing taxes are continued.

That situation, however, has been complicated by abolition of NRA, and tn e retail cigarette price war that followed. Prices at retail now have been, readjusted, it is reported, and Standard Statistics durvey det c!ares there is talk among manufac turers of raising wholesale cigarette Prices. Anv increase would go far toward offsetting increased cost of leaf to. bacco, and would, in effect, pass on to consumers a portion o fthe pro cessing tax.’’ it added. The demand for cigarettes has step ped up this year. The Standard sur vey found that “indications point to sufficient gains this year to permit, the leading brands approximately to equal 1930 high levels. For the indus-* fry as a whole an eight percent gain ‘or the full year 1935 to a new high ’•“vel of approximately 135,600,000,000 of cigarettes seemed in prospect.” Ethiopia Doesn’t Want War, But Will Do Its Duty If It Comes, Its Emperor Asserts •r-ridis Ababa, Ethiopia, July 4 (API —Emperor Hailee Salassie insisted today in a statement to The Associat- Press that Ethiopia does not want war with Italy, but that in the event such a conflict "we shal accom plish our duty.’* the : ‘king of kings” failed to indi cate that he had received any seri ou.s uews, although unofficial reports heavy losses were sustained on • oth sides in a battle between Italian and Ethiopian forces on the Eritrean -rontier.

Ga., July 4 (AP>—Governor .Eugene Talmadge raised the issue of States’ rights here today in a bit ter speech against the Roosevelt ad ministration . In this north Georgia town, for an independence day dedication of a new highway bridge, the governor made the address many observers believe is a bid for Georgia's vote agains Mr Roosevelts renomination in 1936. “States' rights is the bulwark of protection for the people of Georgia.’’ he said. “It is aiso the bulwark of protection for the people of New York. Maine. California, Oregon and all of the other states of the Union. , “When the time ever comes for us to placidly obey the orders of 72 bu reaucracies in Washington that over ride the Constitution of the United States our freedom is gone. “When the time ever comes for the sovereignties of the several states of this Union to be ignored and forgotten then this union is ready for dissolu tion. “It is fitting for us on July 4 to take stock and see how far we have depart ed from the old land lines and foun dation stones of Government.” Renewing his criticism of the New 'Deal, Governor Talmadge told his State audience that all experimental legislation of President Roosevelt had been a failure, retarded progress, and called for immediate abandonment of the entire program as the only road to recovery. stroys progress,’ the emperor s scaie nor desires war now, because war de ment said. \ 4 £ The present conflict, for which Italy used as a pretext the usual inci dent—a border clash late last year, in which 30 Italians and 110 Ethiopians were reported to have been killed —is in no wise chargeable to Ethiopia, because it is established by diploma tic documents that, since August last, Italy has been considerably arming her colonies of Eritrea and Somali land, necessitating a declaration by the Ethiopian charge d’affaires in Rome denying Ethiopian aggression. “In spite of our firm resolution to avoid war, we shall accomplish, our duty in the eventuality of war.” !N~DjmNj^E-J^pTY HENDERSON, N.
