Deny Report Dead Sea Concessions Granted to Mond Company

(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

Inquiries in responsible quarters by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency here regarding the report which appeared in the London papers that a concession to exploit the mineral resources of the Dead Sea is about to be given to the Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., of which Sir Alfred Mond is the head, brought a denial of the report.

It was declared that it is likely that Mr. Novomejski and a British engineer will be awarded the concession. Mr. Novomejski, who is a Russian Jew, was the first to apply for a concession to exploit the salts of the Dead Sea.
