MENT OF NORTH CAROLINA.
AT HIGH POINT, NORTH CARO
LINA JANUARY 16-1944:
We are' alarmed by the rapidly
widely diverging views and opin
ions as to HOW a better and a
peaceful world may be achieved
after this War has come to an end.
We remember that the plain
peace and security objectives of
OUR War, (the first World War)
were distressingly obscured by the
welter of conflicting and complex
social and economic theories and
national and personal ambitions.
We fear that the peace objec
tives of this War will be blurred
if it is not defined simply and pre
cisely, and kept ever before us in
a solemn pact covering a single,
restricted, undebatable subject.
THEREFORE, WE URGE:
That our .Nation and mur Allies
and every other Nation which now a drop of 54,289 for the same pe
er later will do so Join in the exe- rfod m 1943, ',
rution of written Instrument;
making to each other and to 'the,
j it ti.- S nl
and. limited In time, pledging peace
throughout the world; solemnly
and precisely agreeing that for a
definite period of fifty years there
will be no more war on this earth;
that at Jeast for that period nat
ional objectives must be accom
plished by peaceful means; agree
ing that the great Nations Join'
Ing In tiie pledge .will Jointly ax -

Property Valuations
Local Units Drop
Valuations of property for taxes
by counties, cities and districts
show a loss of about 300 million
dollars in 1942 as compared with
1928 while actual collections ot
Drooerty taxes on these asses-
ments show a 19 million aonai
drop In 1942 as compared with
1928. This is not due to a decrease
in the amount of service the pub
lic is given through local units of
government, but to the fact that
the State has taken over some
functions of government which
were formerly paid for out of lo
cal property taxes, so says ft cur
rent issue of "We the People".
This 19 million dollar drop in
local tax collections does not (rep
resent the full amount of increase
in State aid to the schools, for in
1928 the State was aiding the
schools to the extent of $3,238,375.
while in the latter year it provi
ded a school fund of $28,009,915.
