Dutch Oil Companies
Shut Down in Mexico
Shift of Levy Ends Tax Exemp-
ton; Production Crisis Ex-
pected in September


MEXICO CITY, Aug. l6.-The Aguila,
Corona and Royal Dutch petroleum
companies and the Shell Transport and
Trading Company to-day announce
their intention to suspend operations
in the oil fields. These companies are
the only large producers still operat-
ing, the American companies having
suspended some time ago. They had
been able 70 continue because Of the
preferential terms Of their charters
which exempt them from paying pro-
duction taxes.
General Obregon, however, recently
changed this tax to a stamp tax, from
which the companies are not exempt
ed, thus placing them on the same
footing with American producers and
forcing them also 70 shut down.
