STATE RESOLUTION
OPPOSES WAR POLICY
North Carolina Tables Plea Asking
United States to Avoid
Mexican Strife.
By the Associated Press.

RALEIGH, N. c.. January 15.-A
resolution opposing warlike policy
on the part of the United States to.
ward Mexico was introduced In the
House OF Representatives here today
by Representative Little Of Polk
County. After brief debate the meas,
ure was tabled, but reconsideration
will be asked early next week.
The resolution stated that the
Latin.American situation is acute
and that there are rumors of war
between the United States and an.
other country or countries OF the
Western Hemisphere. 1t stated that
the United States appeared at the
breaking point with Mexico. and that
IF the present policy is continued war
is inevitable"
Mr.. Little continued In his denunci,
alton of what he inferred was the
present Washington foreign policy to
declare that powerful interests an.
pear to be organized and supported
by Nationwide propaganda to bring
about a war with Mexico, and that
the concentrated armed forces of the
United States in Latin-America are
far in excess Of requirements to con-
troll the situation in Nicaragua. -
This he characterized as IAN unwar.
ranted policy for which many f1imsy
excuses have been given. but the real
reason has not been announced off,
cially."
