THYSSEN AND HERR HITLER

(SPECIAL TO “CHINA MAIL")

A decree published in the German official Gazette on December 12 provides for the confiscation of the entire for- tune and properties of Herr Thyssen, the famous German industrial magnate, at pre- sent residing in the canton of Ticino, in Switzerland.

industrial assets and investments.

Ironically enough the confisca- tion is made under the decree of July, 1933 on the "seizure of Com- munist property."

Herr Thyssen fled recently from the Swiss Germany. On crossing border he wired to Hitler saying: "

Com- gave you my fortune to fight 'munism, not to support it."

Herr Thyssen had been one of the first supporters of the Nazi Party and lent large sums to Hitler.--Havas.
