Few foreign firms have sent reports to the Provin- cial Department of Finance concerning their registered capital or volume of business in connection with the new business tax.

On the instructions of the Finance Department, the City Chamber of Commerce called a meeting last Thursday of heads of foreign business houses in the

Chinese city, but only, a few firms sent representatives. In view of the meagre success, the Chamber of Commerce will call another meeting of foreign firms some- time next week.

A DRAMATIC AND AVOWEDLY AU- THORITATIVE ACCOUNT OF THE CIRCUM- STANCES WHICH PREFACED CHANCELLOR HITLER'S ACCESSION TO THE GERMAN PRE- SIDENCY IS PUBLISHED IN THE “PARIS SOIR.”

The Prague correspondent of the journal states that Chancellor Hitler first decided be- come Reichsfuehrer (Reich Leader) without con- sulting the Reichswehr chiefs, but ended in con- cluding an "irritable treaty alliance" with them.

He states that on the night of Juy 30, Chancellor Hitler pre- sided at a secret meeting, attended, inter alia. by General Goer- ing, the Prussian Premier; Dr. Wilhelm Frick, the Minister of Interior, Herr Lutze, and the Storm Troops leader, Herr Himmler. at which it was originally decided to settle the question of the late President von Hindenburg's successor on their own initiative.

General Goering announced that the police reported that Field Marshal von Hindenburg, had made a report on political testament, fecommending a Hohenzollern for the Presidency and that a copy of the report was schy do Dporn secretly. He suggested that a copy of the origzdal text was in possession of an old friend of President von:- Hindenburg, General Oldenburg Januscháu. Chancellor Hitler, however, declared that he "knew how to muzzle....... the latter."

New York, To-day,

The American oil industry is en- gaged in one of the most intensive oil hunts in recent years, despite the 350,000,000 barrels of stored crude oil and 50,000,000 barrels of stored gasoline, and despite the` expressed approval of the Govern ment's effort to restrict production,

So far this year 9,000 new wells have been sunk throughout the nation, as compared with. 4.357 in the corresponding period of last year.

The efforts have yielded 4.676 oil producers, and 452 gassers, as compared with 2,606 and 324 res- pectively, last year.

The scramble is admitted to be uneconomic, but it is explained that the industry is very com- petitive and that it is vital to get one's share and maintain ade- quate stocks. United Press, per S. E. Levy and Company. CANTON'S STAMP REVENUE
