Lima, Peru Dec. 21.-(AP)- The
principal delegations to the Pan
American conference agreed TODAY on
a declaration of cooperative action
against aggression, ending a ten-dav
dispute on wording between the Unit
ed States and Argentine
The declaration, highly reliable con-
ference informants said, provides for
consultation against aggression, the
menace of force and subversive poll
tical propaganda.
Argentine won her point, in that
European or other non-American ma
tiOns were not named specifically. The
United States attained it's purpose.
however, delegates said in obtaining
declaration to which all the 81
American republic could subscribe.
Many of the delegates held that it
was fear of propagandist incursion
by European totalitarian dictator
states which inspired the resolution in
the first place; that even if it did not
specifically contain the phrase Gag
gression from without" it's warning
was evident.
most reliable source said the
and Peruvian delegation chiefs agreed
to final draft at conferences LASTING
until early morning.
The Argentine insistence that the
declaration be against all aggressors
based on the contention that the Unit
ed States might one day alter the
good neighbor policy and be herself
a potential aggressor.

Raleigh, Dec. 21.-Such battles as
develop in the 1889 General Assem-
bly, are much more likely to be staged
in the appropriation committee than
in the finance group. Which is to
say that the prime problem of the
law makers will be one of division
rather than of production.
The Budget recommendations have
gone to the printer. Nobody outside
the sacred circle knows what they
are, but anyone with even casual ac-
quaintance with characteristics of
the budgetsteers know that no wild
spending orgy is to be urged. It can
be safely assumed that the budgeteers
have carefully considered what reve-
nues North Carolina can expect dur
ing the next two years, and have
used these anticipated revenues as
the yardstick for measuring appro-
priations.
The legislators do not appear to be
of the sort likely to run wild and run
roughshod over the budget recon-
mendations, which will bear the CUB

In Inc Sir WHltHr Hotel

Raleigh, Dec 21-In making deci-
sions about appropriations for the
next biennium, members of the 1889
General Assembly will be in posses
sion of statistics showing that the
States tax collections are running
Just about level with those of the
past fiscal year.
Through December Is, North Caro-
lima had collected total of $26O57,-
926.33 from all revenue sources, sum
only S843,13412 short of the grand
total collected during the correspond
ing period of the preceding fiscal
year
This difference, too, is more than
accounted for by the falling off in
inheritance tax collections, some
thing which it is always impossible
to foresee or to estimate.
Inheritance taxes through Decem-
Der Is, 1887, totalled $1,478,529.75
against a mere $241 ,411.98 this year, a
difference of $1,237, ,117.T.
Taking this into consideration,
this years tax collections are actu-
ally nearly half a million greater than
last, the exact figure being 1898, ,983.65.
In view of these facts, the incom-
ing General Assembly will certainly
be in position to estimate receipts for
the coming biennium at not less than
actual receipts for the past two year
period, and it is probable that appro-
