The Anglo-Mexican Gasoline and Petorleum Company will discontinue the use of the swastika as its firm trade-mark, it was announced here by the company.

In a statment to newspapers the reason for the move was given as a desire to make the symbols of the company products uniform.

The Deutsche Zeitung, local Hitlerite newspaper, printed the announcement in the form of an advertisement, but made no editorial comment regrading it.
