SMASHING A MONOPOLY
DEAD SEA AND POTASH OBJECT OF GOVERNMENT British Wireless—Press Assn.—Copyright RUGBY, Thursday. The statement made in th 9 House of Commons last night regarding the concession of the Dead Sea salts vas supplemented in the House of Lords in a speech by the Under-Secretary for the Dominions, Lord Loyat. The Government, he said, was fully alive to the interests which the deposits had, as being a means of breaking down the monopoly in potash which existed at the present time. They all knew what they had suffered during the war on account of the monopoly. With Lord Plumer, as High Commissioner for Palestine, in partial charge of the arrangements, these Questions would not be overlooked. The object of the Government was to get the work done, independently of any existing combine. A feature of the concession, whatever form it ultimately took, would be the question of the share of the profits to the countries concerned. The Government regarded this as the most satisfactory way of dealing with the concession. It would eliminate, or at all events lessen, some of the political difficulties which might arise.—A. and N.Z.
