TRANSLATION OF A NEWSPAPER CLIPPING ABOUT HENRI DETERDING (*ABOVE) FROM 20th CENTURY PRESS ARCHIVES OF THE GERMAN NATIONAL LIBRARY OF ECONOMICS
27 Jan 1931
Frankfurter Zeitung (Frankfurt am Main)
In connection with the arrival of Deterding, the President of the Koninklijke-Shell, in Hamburg rumours are reported in Berliner Blatters, according to which Deterding on Tuesday with the Reich government because of a monopoly on gasoline against a loan of Doll. 150 million will negotiate. This information is described as unbelievable in Berlin. Deterding himself has explained to the WTB trading service in Hamburg that, contrary to divergent reports, his stay in Germany was almost exclusively a private matter, and related financial transactions were out of the blue.
