Tahiti Chinese Owe The

Taxgatherer

CHINESE traders who fail to pay their taxes, will be discussed in Papeete at the next session of the Assemblee Territoriale of French Oceania.

Our correspondent there reports that Chinese tax defaulters at pre sent owe some nine million francs in overdue taxes.

A section of the community is in favour of deportation of these Chinese.

The Chinese traders, of course, insist that they are having a hard time, with the French Government making it as difficult as possible for them.
