FOREIGNERS MUST PAY
TAX ON HOTEL BILLS. NEW FRENCH MEASURE. Australian and N.Z. Cabin Association. (Received January 28, 9.20 p.m.) LONDON, January 27. The “Morning Post’s” Paris correspondent says that the recent outbreak of feeling against foreigners owing to the fall of the franc has been exemplified by the introduction of a pr:vate members bill imposing a surtax of 20 per oent. on the bills of all foreigners temporarily residing in French hotels and pensions, the promoters pointing out that a similar tax already operates in Germany. They estimate that the surtax will yield two thousand million francs yearly from 600,000 foreign visitors.
