DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
Friday, December 17, 1954
ISTANBUL, (JTA)—An Israel
trade delegation which spent
some weeks here trying to pur-
chase Turkish products has left
after a not too fruitful visit.
The Israelis found that Turk-
ish prices for some products are
higher than the world price and
that some other items are in
short supply and cannot be ex-
ported by the Turks. The Israelis
indicated before they left that
if prices come down to a level
with world prices on some Turk-
ish items Israel will purchase.
Since Israel is about $1,000,000
ahead in current trade with Tur-
key, it must find more products
to buy from the Turks if it hopes
to sell them more. Under the
present clearing arrangement,
neither country may fall behind
more than $1,500,000 in an ex-
change of goods.
